Any tips for the Bird & Bird insight day?? :smile:


Did you get offered this insight day having done a video interview for a vacation scheme or training contract?

And do you mind me asking when you did your video interview and when you heard back from them you had been invited to an insight day?

Hi, it's for the VS. Did my video interview about 2 weeks ago and heard back a couple of days ago (so 10 working days more or less)

Hope this helps!
Finally received my PFO from W&C - have to say I'm not too bothered about it, given how poor they've been in terms of communication, and the whole process, and it'll do me some good to have some time off.

That's me all done, though!

Jones Day and Freshfields in the Summer

Hope to meet some of the you along the way!

Nope but I think it's a Watson glaser type thing? Do you know if this is the final stage of the process?

From the email I thought it was Watson Glaser, just wanted to double check! I assume so- I actually thought the video interview was the last stage originally!
