also I received the Mayer Brown job simulation invite at 7pm today and the email states "you have until Friday 3 March to submit your responses". Do you guys think this means I have until Friday 3 March 7pm to submit the test?
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Neither it’s VIIs their test a WG or still the games like last year.
I personally think the best approach is to ask something based on whats been said in your interview. For example, you said you trained at X firm, what is it about Y firm that drew you to working here? I've always done that and I think it comes across well because it shows you are a good listener/ can engage with them. Doesnt hurt to have a back-up though in case you completely blank!What questions would you guys recommend asking in an interview? I need suggestions please xx
No - the worst that will happen is say no.Is asking for the possibility to move scheme dates unprofessional and/or risky?
Think about the unique combination of factors you have as a candidate that make you different from others and sell that in an elevator pitch style.What should I say when a firm says “tell me about yourself?”
Unfortunately it can be anywhere between a few hours and a few weeks.how long does it usually take for firms to get back post AC
Thanks I’m prepping for my W&C AC and since it’s a 45 min interview, I don’t want to spend too long on this question cause I’m sure there’s a lot to get through.Think about the unique combination of factors you have as a candidate that make you different from others and sell that in an elevator pitch style.
Try to be specific with these points or identify the more unique elements about them - what has your retail experience given you, what has been the main takeaways/learning from your internships, what qualities do you think the cheer team has developed in you (and then try to subtly align this to what the firm is looking for in its trainees).Thanks I’m prepping for my W&C AC and since it’s a 45 min interview, I don’t want to spend too long on this question cause I’m sure there’s a lot to get through.
I’m just gonna briefly mention my retail experience, my internships and my position on my uni’s cheer team and hopefully wrap it up in 2 minutes. Im sure they’ll ask for more detail later so I’m just going to condense it.
@Jessica Booker, this amazing! Thank you so much!If it is a case study format, the following practice assessments might give you an indication of how the format might play out:

I emailed a firm to cancel an upcoming AC but haven't had a response yet. I emailed on Wednesday, and the assessment centre/interview is next Tuesday. Do I need to send a follow-up email, or should I just wait it out? (any advice is appreciated) If you are cancelling and do not want to...www.thecorporatelawacademy.com

@Jessica Booker would really appreciate your thoughts on thisalso I received the Mayer Brown job simulation invite at 7pm today and the email states "you have until Friday 3 March to submit your responses". Do you guys think this means I have until Friday 3 March 7pm to submit the test?
I think that some firms are def willing to see if they can move your scheme dates so I think there is no harm in asking- a firm asked me to change dates twice because other people asked to move dates and they had to readjust so ask and see what happensIs asking for the possibility to move scheme dates unprofessional and/or risky?
I would assume it includes the date mentioned. It won’t be sophisticated enough to know the time the email was sent to you, so I would assume it means 23.59 on the date mentioned.@Jessica Booker would really appreciate your thoughts on this
Super helpful! Thank you Jess!Not all boutique firms, but firms with applications still open for vacation schemes:
