Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
not true about CC. they got those stats by looking at application data retrospectively to realise that people who did their forage internships tend to be more successful. lots of confounding factors there so not necessarily a direct causal relationship. people who have done CC’s forage also likely invested more time researching CC and creating a better, more tailored application overall.Okay, this isn't the nicest way to see it obviously. BUT, this commenter is not wrong. Just because you did an open day/ insight scheme with a firm does not mean that you should automatically be granted a vacation scheme. That would literally be legal nepotism lol. You have people who do full vacation schemes and are still rejected from a TC.
You are not owed anything just because you did an application and travelled to London. There are international students who travel CONTINENTS and do the SAME schemes so your point is redundant.
If you truly want to get in just because you did a scheme in the past, apply to CC. They let people who did forage internships have a 3x higher chance of getting in compared to everyone else.
My point is: what the commenter said was kinda rude but, you're not owed anything just because you've done a long application process or open day.

If the work experience hasn’t been signed off as qualifying work experience or you haven’t checked with the previous employer that they will sign it off or not (whether in the U.K. or not), I would put no.A question for anyone with overseas legal work experience: some application forms asks whether work experience is SQE Qualifying Work Experience. I do not have a certificate stating so, although I could possibly get one from that employer if required later. However, by nature of the work done, it would count as QWE. Should I check 'yes' or 'no' when the form asks whether the work is QWE?
Thank you!
hii when did you apply and do WG?anyone has any advice on the Bakers VI?
is this for clyde & co? Im not gonna lie, for a couple of those questions I think it would have been unnatural to speak for 2 mins because there simply was not enough to say. For one I spoke for 1 min, another 1 min 30 and the rest 2 mins. I do not see it as a problem because I got my point across.If you get 2 minutes to answer a VI question and if your answer is 1 minute and 30 seconds is that seem as bad and will that affect how your VI answer is marked by graduate recruitment.
No good on you. But yesterday, I received feedback and learnt that for every answer there must be some sort of ending. When we answer competency-based questions we usually end by saying "as result", from my understanding, there should be an ending even when we answer general questions. I hope your VI goes well, I know how hard you work!If you get 2 minutes to answer a VI question and if your answer is 1 minute and 30 seconds is that seem as bad and will that affect how your VI answer is marked by graduate recruitment.
doubt so!!! if anything they're looking for succinct answers so if you managed to sum it all up in 1.5 minutes that's impressive imo! i for one have a habit of rambling so...If you get 2 minutes to answer a VI question and if your answer is 1 minute and 30 seconds is that seem as bad and will that affect how your VI answer is marked by graduate recruitment.
heyy!! i applied mid November i believe! did the WG about a week agohii when did you apply and do WG?
So a short conclusion for each question to tie it all in?No good on you. But yesterday, I received feedback and learnt that for every answer there must be some sort of ending.

Thank you for this and yes it is for Clyde and Co.is this for clyde & co?

Thank you for this. This is actually a good point thank you very much for this.No good on you. But yesterday, I received feedback and learnt that for every answer there must be some sort of ending.

Thank you for this and I agree but was just worried that if it is a short answer they might deduct point for not using all the time.doubt so!!! if anything they're looking for succinct answers so if you managed to sum it all up in 1.5 minutes that's impressive imo! i for one have a habit of rambling so...
Thank you very much for this it is really assuring nd have been practising and my answers have been 1.5 minutes.
Just completed the VI. There are 3 Qs, 30s thinking time and 90s answering time. Good luck!Does anyone know how many questions are in Dechert's VI, and how long you get to prepare and speak for? TIA
