This is definitely not how to succeed in video interviews - take it from someone who has reviewed thousands of them!So from what I heard, you need to behave like a serial killer in the pre recorded ones 😭 stare into the camera, smiling and you have to make yourself seem real enthusiastic! It’s so uncomfortable but apparently it works like a charm. I’d also recommend recording your interviews. So afterwards, you can listen back and give yourself feedback. If you’ve got a vac scheme then you’ll have no issues getting past this stage in the future, just takes a bit of practice. Best of luck!!
Smart casual - avoid t-shirts/hoodies (seeing they will only see your shoulders/neck). No suit and tie needed.Thanks so much!!! Do you have any advice regarding dress code?
Give them a call tomorrow afternoon/Thursday morning and explain you are keen to understand the outcome as you are working full time and would need to request time off if you are successful. They will understand this and it won’t seem pushy, especially if it’s more than 24 hours after they said they would come back to youz@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre Hi both, I hope you are well. At the Simmons AC I was told that we would hear an outcome by 20th Nov. I see that some people on the forum have received WVS invites post AC, and some unfortunately have rejected PFO post AC.
I don’t want to seem pushy but I would need to know soon as I work full time and the scheme is in less than 2 weeks.
How would you handle this?

Unfortunately this can be either approach really depending on the firm. In some cases it is also both (minimum cut off and then scores above this weighed up against other information in your application).How do firms actually weigh the WG? Is it the case that if you dont meet the "benchmark" you are just automatically disqualified, or is your score looked at in conjunction with your written application?
Focus your answer on the “why” rather than getting stuck on the detail itself.Hi @axelbeugre I was wondering how you would approach a question that asks what improvement you would make to a firm and why?
Not yet, but it's for a summer scheme, so I don't expect anything until the new year.Has anyone heard back from Akin post test?
That literally happened to me yesterday and I was actually fairly shocked about the outcome. I have practiced them serval times - I think they increased they're benchmark this year maybe lolHas anyone ever requested WG results from CMS?
Just got an email saying I didn’t meet their benchmark which is odd cus I think I’m quite good at the test and have passed it multiple times before…
Hey @lovelaw223,Does anyone have any tips for the group task section of an assessment centre? What topics are they usually on?
when i am 20 words away from finishing my app🤯So, DLA closed their internship applications, oh well!
Thank you Jessica!I would include an SU role or a volunteer role in work experience. I just would include society/sports club positions as they are clearly still asking for work experience rather than extra curricular activities.
Hey @gch1997,Hi @axelbeugre I was wondering how you would approach a question that asks what improvement you would make to a firm and why?
I would wait until Friday and if you do not hear anything, then I would send a polite email asking for updates. I am sure they will be very happy to reply to you so do not worry to sound too pushy. As long as your email is polite, then there is nothing to worry about. I certainly have reached out a couple of times when I was applying last year for updates as I had to organise everything since I had other commitments and all the law firms were very nice about it. I made sure that my email were always very nice and never pretentious.@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre Hi both, I hope you are well. At the Simmons AC I was told that we would hear an outcome by 20th Nov.
