Register HereNo - there is no rule on this and an application is not going to be automatically at an advantage or disadvantage either way.@Jessica Booker (or anyone who can kindly opine) is there a hard and fast rule in respect of how many examples you provide for question? I was previously told that anything below 150 words should be 2 examples and anything above 150 words should be 3. I am currently answering a question on why the firm with a 1500 character word limit (approx 200-250 words), and while I usually aim for 3 examples in line with what I have been previously told, my preference out of my current drafts is for 2 examples. I just wanted to understand from the point of view of someone who is reviewing an application, would only providing 2 examples put me at a disadvantage?
What are some good questions to ask at the end of an interview? I would appreciate any advice!
@Andrei Radu @Jessica Booker @Amma Usman @Ram Sabaratnam
Also how long does it take to get a response for your VS application? I applied for a couple firms, such as Linklaters and Latham & Watkins etc, and their deadlines have passed.
What questions should one ask themselves to know if they have written a strong application @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu?
Hi for VI for questions that ask skills suited for role, if you only have 90 seconds - do you for three skills or two?
Hey there @lawstudent2 ,How much notice do you usually get for an AC? This is my first cycle and I'm generally a bit crap at interviews. I don't want to set myself up for extra disappointment by preparing and then getting rejections but equally don't want to be unprepared if I do get one, do you get enough notice usually?
Applied 30/12hey congrats! when did you apply and when did you hear back?
Hi! I also just applied and haven't received an email either. Maybe this platform normally doesn't send confirmation emails?hey, is this normal I didn't receive an email confirmation after applying to Norton rose Fulbright - when I clicked back on it says you have applied, says submitted and that my application is in progress. When I look at my application it only shows my personal info?? I'm guessing I should have got a conformation email but im not sure why I haven't received one ?? any help would be great !!
ahh okay thank you for your reply !! yes I agree maybe they don't send out confirmation emails ? I looked on their website and they said they usually send out a confirmation email after applying, maybe its changed now ?Hi! I also just applied and haven't received an email either. Maybe this platform normally doesn't send confirmation emails?
amazing thank you -- i am assuming from the email there's unlimited prep time for the video interview questions? xxit’s been a while, but from what I remember it wasn’t too bad. Basically what it says on the tin (in the email), some SJT, some verbal reasoning, some numerical reasoning with data/graphs. It is untimed, so can take your time to think. Can’t remember exactly what the questions were in the VI but no curveballs.
Cant really prepare too much, I’d take the practice test and go for it tbh.
