They offered a choice between two days, a monday or Tuesday. Not sure about the remote aspect, could well depend on the office and their availability. I applied for Chelmsford, a smaller office, so it could vary! As they call you rather than email you would be able to explain your situation and i’m sure they could accommodate.

When you say you applied to Chelmsford do you mean it was your first choice? And good luck for the interview!
Yep, it was my first choice. Not sure if they account for the 2nd and 3rd choice at this stage, not sure how it works tbf.
Thank you!
DLA Post AC PFO. Anyone else have experience thinking they did well at an AC but still being unsuccessful?
Hi, congratulations on receiving an interview, can I asked when you applied please?
Psychometric test is sent after you secure the AC.
The test is administered by Thrive.
There are 5 components- one personality SJT style test, and four ability tests assessing fluid thinking, verbal reasoning, checking and logical thinking.
The test results influence the questions they ask in the competency portion of the interview. They ask questions based on the development areas identified at the testing phase.
y'all I'm starting to see why they want resilience from their trainees, this stuff is brutal 😭
this is my first time applying, I'm second year non-law so I really didn't make that many applications anyway. Went into the cycle hoping for a vac scheme but mostly treating it as a test run, and omg it's been so exhausting, will need to dig deep down for the energy to do another cycle properly.
though I haven't got the PFOs from many firms, it's been long enough that I can tell. I estimate i'm still in the running for 2, maybe 3 vacation schemes. the thought of starting all these applications again from scratch!? so much respect for those of you who have done multiple cycles and are still at it!
what are peoples summer plans if no vac scheme? I might start firing off some non-legal internship applications, but I don't know. This process has actually made me realise I really do want to do law. In all likelihood will end up picking up full-time hours at my pub job.

I had this with DLA as well. On the bright side in the feedback was good and she said the partner that did my presentation interview said I should apply again. However, they may just say that to everyone.
When did you complete the online assessment and video interview?
dont remember specific dates sorry but the test around 23/12 and job sim around the 10/1
Skadden Partner interview !! Any tips greatly appreciated. Have insights for White & Case, Jones Day, Latham
Well folks, another week has come to an end. There’s been good news and bad news.
The main thing is that we keep going! These firms will NOT see the last of us, whether it’s this cycle or the next! We shall persevere.
I hope you all manage to get some rest and enjoy the weekend. Please remember to wind down even if it for a couple of hours as our physical and mental health is so important.
Super happy to be a part of this community, I look forward to every new message/reaction.
PS: Still hoping to receive some sort of an update this evening before 7pm lmao and @Tintin06 I hope you’re ok! We need one of your legendary updates my friend 😂
