Thank you, I also feel my second answer was quite weak but my other three answers were strong do you think this will matter?
I don’t know but can I jump on your question and ask if anyone knows what the Ropes & Gray test is?
E.g. SJT, WG or Arctic Shores?
Good applied verbal, mid applied numerical, getting things done = bad, collaboration = good, growth mindset = good, resilience = bad, client focus = good, commercial mindsnet = bad, problem solving = good. I was rejected
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.
