Thank you Jessica! I think I know why I failed some VIs now 😭 glad that I askedI would avoid just jumping into examples - this isn't really what strengths based assessments are about. They want you to be forward looking rather than rely on past evidence.
Instead focus on what you would do, what factors you would need to consider, if needed explain any assumptions you are making about the scenario (e.g. "Assuming I had a strong working relationship with my supervisor, I would...."), and explain the key aspects that have influenced your thinking this is the right approach. With that last point, you can briefly reference previous times you have been put in similar situations, but if you do this you have to really explain the similarity in the circumstances, not just the similarity in the approach.
I think it is quite firm to say without knowing the firms and their strengths but generally speaking I would consider:@axelbeugre do you have any advice for this?
Search Law Careers.Net Solicitor Work Placement Deadlines, it should show a list of open ones.does anyone know any vac scheme apps still open?
I think it is an interesting take and if you cannot think of something to say on your feet, it might be a good strategy. I personally would recommend to always be honest, but sometimes it will happen that you might not have experienced a situation that they might ask you and I personally tried to use my recent experiences. I would encourage you to do what you think it's best for you and the situation but you should decide what to do!@axelbeugre Please could I quickly get your opinion on this.
I did a practice interview with someone from my uni's careers service and I explained that sometimes I exaggerate or make up examples for STAR answers and she said it's best to respond with "haven't been in that situation, but a similar position I have been in....I responded with..." or "I haven't experienced that yet, but this is how I would react in that position..."
What do you make of this? Thank you!!
I think that in the first question you should highlight how doing a scheme with them will benefit you in terms of making you understand more about the firm, getting to hear the associates and partners' journeys to the firm, understanding what trainees do in different departments at the firm, what their pro bono initiative entails.Hey everyone, Im applying to Paul Hastings work placement (their version of VC) and Im a bit confused about their questions;
Why do you wish to complete a work placement with us? and What has attracted you to Paul Hastings?
I feel like both questions are super similar: also can I discuss why I want to train at PH in the first question? I cant seem to find any info on the work placement
I personally have done that and I got the offer two hours after my email when I applied last year. I would only recommend doing this when a considerable amount of time has passed (after the two weeks mark in my opinion).If we’re still waiting to hear back from a firm post-AC, and have other offers coming in, could we email grad rec to ask for an update on our AC outcome? Or would it be unprofessional to do so?
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH literally, me when I practice recording myself in preparation for a VI, but I can’t pronunce the words properlyThis was my today VI
Yes you can definitely do that, many people do that and I personally have done it last year too, it is not a big of a deal. Just be very nice in the email and very grateful. I would email them only after you got the offer, not now since you only got the video interview.Invited to Baker McKenzie VI for Spring! But I’ve already secured a Spring VS elsewhere. Would it be possible for me to ask graduate recruitment to move my application for the direct TC as I can’t do the Summer VS either. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated😊 @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker
I hope that the world will never see me practicing my Avis. So damn cringy!HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH literally, me when I practice recording myself in preparation for a VI, but I can’t pronunce the words properly
