Same! When is yours? I'm nervous, how are you preparing?

It's the 19th of February, so still a while away! Whens yours? I've got interviews next week Im definitely more worried about, so at the moment I'm just reading the newspapers to keep up to date with commercial news, not a lot else just now, but I will go over my app and do some extra research on the firm.

Congrats on getting an assessment centre invite by the way! :smile:

I have just been invited to do a Nabarro video interview. Does anyone have any tips? I'm not exactly sure how it works, is there a time limit to answer each question?

When did you apply if you don't mind me asking?

Also, is anyone still waiting to hear from HD? the deadline for video submission and online form is 31 January and I still haven't heard post app

I was under the impression that the video was the next stage? From your comment I understand that the written application AND the video is to be done by all candidates? I had an video interview invite and I'm going to do it tomorrow. Im not too sure of what to expect really...

Congrats! I submitted mine on the deadline (15th Jan) for the London office. I still haven't heard anything. In relation to video interviews I've got my first one tomorrow for Hill Dickinson - not too sure what to expect... Good luck with yours! Also where else have you applied to? And also at what stage of your studies are you at if you don't mind me asking?

Can anyone give any advice on what to expect for the 'in-tray' exercise??? I have my first assessment centre next week and in the email I got it says I have to do an 'in-tray' exercise. No idea what to expect!

On an application form do we have to put all the references that the firm asks for? Only asking because it names "School" as one of the references for education, I am out of touch with my school, and most of the new teachers there are now new...really not sure what to do about this one! Any insight would be appreciated!
