Any advice on how to answer these questions for? :
1. If you could invent a new product or technology that does not currently exist, what would it be and why? (250 max)
2. Please declare if you have used Artificial Intelligence in your application, and if so, how this has been employed? (100 max)(this is for Covington and I have used grammarly but I don't know if that counts)
Thank you!
Hi @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam
Any thread you can direct to for AC prep? Particularly case study ones!
Thank you!
Hi! I'm unsure whether they are fully rolling, that being said, myself and a few others have been invited to the AC (in 10 days) already. I will say, their turnaround was particularly quick- from app to AC invite was exactly 2 weeks, so it is possible they will hold another AC for people applying on/near the deadline.Hey guys, does anyone know if RPC's vac scheme applications are rolling or not?
I mean the deadline is on Monday and I want to submit my app tonight but I'm considering whether it'll be worth it or not. I could focus on another app that has a non-rolling deadline on Monday.
I hope so because the 1/4 is in the least important section- tho this only my opinion hahaaMy gut is that this is good enough?
So people who were rejected for the Linklaters winter vac scheme have previously been offered ACs for other schemes do you mean?they say they're running multiple assessment days through January and February, and I'm aware there is a precedent where they reconsider people who apply for Winter and spring for summer. Since they haven't sent out Summer invites yet, you could very well be getting considered for Summer.
I even know people who received PFOs for Winter and then were subsequently reconsidered [without being asked] for Spring.
I think you can reapply in the same recruitment cycle...or at least their application page says you can apply to the opportunities individually.Is it worth applying to W&Cs vac scheme today? As deadline is on the 12th. I'm in full-time work in a legal role so would saving it for direct TC be better?
If you can write a strong application in the time frame you have left I would go for it! 🙂🙂Is it worth applying to W&Cs vac scheme today? As deadline is on the 12th. I'm in full-time work in a legal role so would saving it for direct TC be better?
Thank you so much @Amma Usman!!Hey @KBanana and @chrisbrown ,
For the first question, I would say there’s no right or wrong answer. The firm seemingly wants to simply gauge your creativity and your thought process behind this and why. Now there is also no need to do the following, but I would personally focus on an invention in the legal field - not because this is what you need to focus on to get the question right, but because this is an area I am drawn to. Find an area that interests you as then you’d be able to talk about it in depth. It’s also not enough to just answer the question directly because despite it not specifying this, you will need to focus on why the invention is a good one. For example, how does it benefit the industry or a process that is not as easy given existing tech capabilities? This will take your answer to the next level in terms of specificity.
For the second question, I would say grammarly is a good one provided you go into detail on how it was employed specifically.
Also, I can’t keep calm Chris Brown is literally on our forum 😱🥰🔥🥹🚀

Yeah I applied close to the deadline and haven't received any update yet. Hoping for the best!Is anyone else still in limbo for Addleshaws? Not received a PFO or a voice interview yet?
I'll DM youReed Smith VI - are the questions motivation, competency or commercial awareness? Working out what to practice and whether I need to do research prep first (I know the prep time is unlimited but assume I can’t be on other windows researching)
Could you share whether or not it includes commercial awareness questions like recent cases or newsUpdate- taken the video interview and I think I’ve bottled it 😭😭yk when you just feel like it’s not good enough ugh. If I get through then it’s a miracle.
Does anyone have any advice for the Goodwin VI? Thanks!
Someone mentioned the above ^ 😊Five questions: 30 seconds prep time, 90 sec recording time. Three competency questions: Tell me a time 1 Commercial Awareness and 1 Motivational.
