Just finished Baker McKenzie's video interview.. the first video interview I've ever had, completely tripped up on my words although I got 70%-90% of the information across. With the last question I spoke too fast and stared at the camera like a deer in headlights:/ holding out some hope because I don't think the substance/information of my answers were too bad, it was just more of my nerves in the way. Any advice for someone who feels horrible after their first video interview?

    Any advice for Lathams test?
    Latham's test is like Linklater's test. I did Latham's test yesterday. It isn't timed but it took around 30 minutes. From what I remember there are 24 questions. Roughly half are scenario questions where you have to order your response from most to least likely. The other half there is a statement like 'are you more likely to pay attention to detail or look at the big picture' and then u move the pointer along a line. You cannot really prepare, I guess my advice would be to just be honest. Good luck :)

    Did you have a look at their competencies before doing the test.

    Yes, roughly but honestly I didn't really check my notes when doing the test. Also, right at the beginning there is a video from, i think, a partner. I made notes of it because he mentions a few competencies that Latham's finds central.
