Eversheds Video Interview Training Contract for 2018

Has anyone done the video interview with Eversheds? They recently implemented it a few months ago and so all their advice on the telephone interview and face to face interview is irrelevant. It's 4 questions consisting of 60 seconds and 30 seconds of preparation.

Anyone done it these past few days? Is it all competency based?

I'm desperate to understand what to expect as I know literally no one who has gone through this!

Hey, I've received an invite too but haven't taken the interview yet - I'm hoping there's only so much damage they can do with 4 questions! Surely one of the will be why eversheds?!
I did a video interview for DWF vac scheme and it was much longer and mainly motivation & competency based - why law, why a large commercial firm, why them, a creative/innovative idea you've had, a time you went beyond expectations. Assuming that this one will be similar and largely competency based!

I haven't heard back either! I think they are very close to telling us though as last week a member of hr said they'd be announced within a week. Which office did you guys apply for?

\Did you guys submit your application very late? I'm of the impression they assess applications in batches. I applied quite late and got my video interview quite late too!

I applied start of June and it took over a month to get my video interview. Maybe they do it in batches by office

They aren't doing telephone interviews in this recruitment cycle as far as I'm aware... I did a video interview! Are you sure you haven't received a video interview invite? My system said book telephone interview but I had to complete a video one so I would double check your junk mail!

The telephone interview message is a glitch

They've migrated to video interviews

So it basically just has not updated. Can I also ask you did you have to do a face to face interview prior to your AC invite? Or was the last thing you submitted your vid interview? Thanks and congrats!
