Heyy does anyone know what kind of questions are asked in Baker McKenzie VI? Are they more competency-based? Any commercial awareness questions? Would be greatly appreciated!

is it for summer? if you don't mind me asking also how long after the online test did you receive the email for the VI?

Morgan Lewis VS interview!!! It's in a week and I'm honestly pooping myself but happy as it's the only firm I applied to last month heheeeee

Congratulations!!!

Thanks for the replies! As a non-law student, I am struggling to apply to paralegal jobs given I have limited experience in commercial law. It is hard as law firms want legal experience, but to get this experience I need to already have had previous legal work. Apologies if this doesn't make sense and all advice welcomed!

I’m a law as opposed to non-law but I would reach out to small firms in your area and ask about completing work experience with them. Mention your interest! It may be only a few days but it’s some experience 😊

This is for spring. Around 1-2 weeks

does anyone have any insight on the mayer brown job sim, eg. how many questions are there, what types of questions, how much time do you get to prepare for the video interview questions etc?

I was wondering if anyone has done the Mayer Brown job simulation exercise/would be able to share their experience? I have just received an invite so any tips/insight would be super helpful

Has anyone heard anything for TLT’s London Vacation Scheme for an AC invite?

 

[ayiiii05]

Has anyone heard back from Simmons post AC for SVS or 10K Black Interns?

If so, how long did they take to come back to you?

Congratulations on reaching the next stage! When did you do the automatic test and when did you get the job simulation invite?

I haven't heard back for the Manchester one either. The application form had a very weird layout if I remember correctly.

What were people's strengths for the Shoosmiths cappfinity test?

Mine were credibility and open connector, my weakness was adaptability.

Sent a chaser email to Milbank asking when we should expect to get AC feedback. Received an extremely generic post-app rejection style email in response. Really disappointing, especially since they came across so well on the day of the AC.

Those who did the BM VI, how did you find it?

As in you were already rejected and asking for feedback or you asked for an update and they sent a rejection? That’s so disappointing either way and frankly, I haven’t found their graduate recruitment particularly nice either

Asked for an update and they sent me a rejection email. Admittedly, I had already accepted that it was probably a PFO because people had already been given offers around 2 weeks ago but some feedback would have been nice.

Congrats Grace! I'll send you my info from the Edi AC in a bit 🥳
How long have you got until the date?

Would it be possible to send me a copy as well? Have my Addleshaw's AC next Friday... any material would be good 😅
