DWF VI invite received just now 😁

 

[jessicamcnamara]

Have you been given a deadline to complete it by?

No, I was going to ask the same thing as there is no date on the invite email

Just got an email inviting me to the interview with a deadline!

Taylor Vinters 'Arctic Shores' test! Anyone have any experience with this? lol

Is it the Arctic Shores games-based assessment? I did one of those for Taylor Wessing - it's basically just a series of minigames so there's not much prep you can do really. Just make sure you're focused and have enough time to complete it fully!

DWF VI 🥰

Does anyone have any tips for Bird & Bird AC? Or know if the interview is just an interview or incorporates a case study, it is not very clear!

 

[HopefulFutureTrainee123]

Is it significantly harder to get an offer from Dechert if you’re not a member of aspiring solicitors? I tick multiple boxes but have never signed up as I feel I would be taking help from someone who needs it even more than myself, and I’m hoping it won’t disadvantage me!

DWF VI - deadline 7th Feb

Simmons PFO. They say they’ve reached capacity with applications and are no longer reviewing. Does this mean they haven’t marked my VI? ((

Thank you, thought that too but wasn't too sure as in my AC schedule there are 15 minutes for 'interview prep'

Oh that’s really strange - I haven’t received my schedule yet as I had to move onto the later AC. I assume it’s just so there’s a break between a different exercise and the interview? Last year there wasn’t a case study element!

Has anyone heard anything from Latham post VI??

Got the same email! I genuinely think they didn't :/ just gonna avoid rolling deadline applications unless I can give in my application a month before the deadline now

 

[lolamcd1]

Anyone recently heard from withers?

 

[F12M34L]

Does anyone know how long Shearman take to get back to you after interview?

Some of the people are waiting on an interview invite or rejection

I don't particularly understand why law firms do this because they miss out on recruiting potentially the best talent for the firm. Why set a deadline if the real deadline is a month before? Simmons might have missed out on someone who would have added real value to their firm so take your potential to the next app!
