Hey, so unfortunately I got a PFO from Ashurst but I did go to an Ashurst in Action event. So you'll have two interviews, one for the WVS and one for the TC after completing the WVS.
Interview 1 for WVS - Competency/behavioural questions and scenarios. Questions like tell us a time etc.
Interview 2 for TC - Commercial case study which tests your analytical ability.
Finally, just be yourself
- I'm sure you'll be fine !
if you don't mind sharing, when did you submit your VI for DLA and when did you hear back?
Thank you very much for this it is helpful. For the competency interview do you know if they will ask you commercial questions like a news story or a commercial issue. I prepared that question but feel I will be questioned about that issue in more detail.Hey, so unfortunately I got a PFO from Ashurst but I did go to an Ashurst in Action event.

They didn't mention anything like that, however, I would recommend preparing something for it in case it pops up. Prepare for how a news story might effect them or a client.
You can never be too prepared.
Good Luck !
Just got an invite to Paul Hastings Insight Day!
Was wondering if other people got the invite also? I'm not sure how many people they've invited.

It isn’t necessary to talk about deals - it really depends on your interests/motivations. For some people that won’t be deals.
Ah, understood.
Would it then be alright to focus my answers on the specific sectors that the firm works in that I find interesting (amongst other things)?

Yes - that is not a problem at all if that’s the basis of your motivations.
So sorry about that.
Could I ask which scheme this is for?
Since the question is "demonstrate" your interest, I'd say they are probably looking for you to provide a personalized answer where you link aspects of the firm to yourself and your experiences and interests! Deals that you can specifically link to your own interests can work but probably only if it is clear how it connects to you.
Anyone got CMS VI?
Curious how long they take to get back to ppl after WG?
