Omg same question! Also if anyone has done the VI before please help a sister out! This is the first time I have ever posted on this forum because I just finally got to the second round of an app for the first time ever. Please any help would be amazing!!!!!Anyone know what the dwf vi deadline is?? It says three days from opening the link but what if I don't open link....
I would just take it that the only deadline is from when you access the link. I would try to do the interview in the next week though if you can.Hello guys! can anyone explain what this means 'Please note that you have 3 days to complete your interview from the time you click on the email link on AllHires’.

Not a problem at all to talk about this topic.Hi @Jessica Booker,
I am drafting an answer for a vacation scheme, I am describing a challenging situation and I need to explain what I did. I want to talk about my past experience of volunteering for an LGBTQIA charity in my home country. Among our many services, we also provided workshops for safe s*x, we had doctors coming in and also a safe space to talk. Am I allowed to talk about how our funds got cut and how I found alternative ways to promote safe s*x such as distributing items outside gay nightclubs and directing people to a local health-free clinic? Is it impolite to talk about such an unconventional topic? Sorry, I am just worried that it will be too much.
I am sure they would. You could include this detail in the cover letter as a footnote.Does anyone know if Cleary takes into account mitigating circumstances?
On their portal the only documents you can upload are the CV, cover letter and transcript.
I contacted them once to ask, they said you can put the details at the end of your CV/cover letterDoes anyone know if Cleary takes into account mitigating circumstances?

Amazing, thank you both.I contacted them once to ask, they said you can put the details at the end of your CV/cover letter
I got the same message!Same - Did yours say that "Your application is of interest to us, however, we have filled all available interview slots at present. We will contact you
in due course if we are able to accommodate further candidates." ?
I wouldn’t just mention firms with a location to the one you are applying to - it will need to be a bit more refined than that.Hi @Jessica Booker,
I wondered if you had any tips please on answering the question “who are our competitors”, I’m finding it difficult to know which firms to mention but I know it should probably be those with similar areas of law and sectors. I am applying to a regional office so should I just mention law firms with an office in that location?
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your help @Jessica BookerNot a problem at all to talk about this topic.
One of my early interviews for a law firm I talked about being a condom fairy at university, and that was a very long time ago when things were a lot more traditional, and it really wasn’t an issue back then!
If you want to extra cautious though, just focus more on what you did rather than the topic.
I looked it up and these are some of the firms that came out: Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, Fried Frank Harris, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Linklaters. I think you can keep it general without necessarily going deeper into the different practice areas.@axelbeugre - Hi Axel, I was wondering if you knew who Shearman's biggest competitors are? Shall I break this question into 3, to answer who are the biggest competitors according to M&A, Finance, Project Development and Finance?
