Some of these law firm names really do tickle me. I was showing my partner the list of firms I've applied to and they asked "Do you really want to be a Wombler Bonder?" and it has set me off for the night 🫡
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
They said by the end of the month but they forgot to mention which month 🤣🤣🤣Latham Summer VS wait (post-app) is unbearable

Hit the nail on the head with this post. This whole tc process is only inexplicable.Is anyone else feeling a bit annoyed with the VIs? I am sure they are useful tools for the firms to use and choose between the applicants but it's so bizzare that you go through all that application writing process, write paragraphs on why x firm and then the x firm turns around and says, no summarise that in one minute and stare into a tiny white dot on your screen so we can decide if we want to give you a chance. I think I am getting moody because I have had too much to prepare lately 😭 and please no-one tell me why this is a good way for the firm to test how we can think under pressure or be succinct. I am aware. I just wish this isn't how they tested those skills. Also, finding a quiet spot when you live with others and finding a room to record yourself in on campus is a chore and a half.
I don't mean to be negative, but some of these questions are looooong and not something you can properly answer in 60 seconds. So what exactly are they testing? Anyway rant over, I will stop being negative now.
they're doing ACs until end of FebThey said by the end of the month but they forgot to mention which month 🤣🤣🤣

Well done on the VI 👏🏻 How soon after completing the tests did you get the invite?Anybody have tips for the Fladgate VI? It’s only one question but I’d obviously prefer to be more than less prepared as I'm quite keen on them!
post appI’m so sorry. was this post vi, post ac or post app?
Hey thank you for saying this!!! I just checked and mine has been updated to Offer Made (with no formal offer yet!)For those who have done an AC for Fieldfisher, I suggest checking your application on recruitment portal. Mine said I was "Declined/withdrawn". I did not withdraw my application so I can only assume the former. I have emailed recruitment for more details but I think its a sign of what their decision is. Not for certain but likely.
For more details, I took the AC on the 26th for the diversity scheme in Birmingham. Haven't heard anything since. Pretty sure its cause I fucked up the written assessment (it was too simplistic and I regurgitated the info from the memo) and I waffled on some answers in the interview. Hope this helps.
I appreciate the optimism. I think it's probably a negative sign. Not the end of the world. I don't think I was a "culture fit", considering the terminology and what firms are looking for these days. I just have to bank on doing well enough for other firms. They're just taking forever!!!Hey thank you for saying this!!! I just checked and mine has been updated to Offer Made (with no formal offer yet!)
To give you some hope this is sometimes a grad rec issue - I had it for my knight frank (non-law) internship application but msg'd grad rec and then progressed to an AC...praying for you 🙏
Could you send them across to me as well? Thank you!I attended. What do you want to know?
I've sent you my notes
Yes - that would be fine. You can always do a quick concluding sentence like “I am also impressed by the firm’s X and X, but the two key reasons for my application are those I have mentioned”.Is it okay in a VI for a 'why this firm' question to mention only 2 points but detail them ? Considering that the response time would be 90 seconds
