Congrats! Did you get the invite today? :0Simmons Bristol AC invite! Does anyone have any tips? How much commercial knowledge is expected at an assessment centre - do i need to know the ins and outs of financial transactions?
I want to know this as well, to see if I should submit my application today or tomorrow.exposing myself for submitting a last minute app but does anyone know if NRF's deadline is today at 11:59pm or tomorrow at 11:59pm - it just says that the deadline is 4 Feb on the grad rec website
Asking for myself too!Hi! Has anybody done the Squire Patton Boggs VI yet? Just wondering how people found it and if the questions are competency based or commercial awareness?
pretty sure it will be 11:59pm tomorrowI want to know this as well, to see if I should submit my application today or tomorrow.
Please any help.
They would not necessarily know if you reapplied (most firms) and so it is just a matter of trying to answer the questions as best as you can and understand what the law firm wants from you each year.I reapplied to two firms that I got through to vi last cycle and this year I can't pass app stage. I'm sooo confused. I have more experience, also did not copy and paste from last cycle (even amended why law a little bit). What are law firms expecting to see when a candidate reapplies? @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre would really appreciate your answers
Will be tomorrowI want to know this as well, to see if I should submit my application today or tomorrow.
Please any help.
STAR only really works for one example competency question answers (eg “tell me about a time you have….”)."Why do you think Fox Williams is a good fit for your legal career? Please describe how your skills and interests align with any of our core sectors. 250 max" When discussing my skills, how detailed shall I be? Should I use the STAR technique or just briefly outline my skills?
It’s difficult to give a particular answer to this without knowing the detail of the specific question.In response to a situational judgement question regarding managing an excessive workload and balancing various duties, I mentioned that I would not request a deadline extension unless it becomes critically necessary and is also considered appropriate by my supervisor.
Is this considered the right approach? The interviewer specifically asked " Would you ask for an extension of the deadline for X task?"
Thank you, Jessica. That cleared a lot of confusion for me.STAR only really works for one example competency question answers (eg “tell me about a time you have….”).
Given the multiple aspects of this question, you will only have the ability to reference the skills or interests and briefly where you have gained them from rather than describing those experiences.
