Juts out of curiosity, what were your three top skills?

Mine were; Adaptability, Attention to Detail & Collaboration. Don't know how to interpret them with the firm's values.
I got drive, attention to detail and collaboration, so pretty similar! No idea how they’ll interpret them either.

I'd appreciate some advice on how to answer this question:
As a trainee, you’ll rotate teams and work with people at different levels, with different working styles and personalities. Which of your strengths will you draw upon to help you handle these changes?

Hi all - anyone that applied between 10-15th Dec for Skadden - have you got TI interviews yet, and how long have they given you to prepare beforehand?
Hi! Unsure if this helps but I applied a bit earlier, and was invited to interview 2 and a bit weeks after I sent off my application. I had a week and a half to prepare, and all the questions were quite straightforward! Good luck :)

anyone completed the Taylor Wessing games assessment? Tips would be much appreciated - I can't access the trial app for some reason (it keeps saying 'please check your internet connection or try again later')
It really is just a bunch of minigames, so there's not much prep you can do. Just make sure you have plenty of time to complete it and won't be disturbed, etc. Good luck!

Best advice for GBAs is to be well rested before starting the assessment, and just do what comes naturally to you. Also, make sure to take breaks between the different games (eg. getting a glass of water), as some of them test things like reaction times, so being 100% alert really helps. Good luck!
