this is random but how does a feedback call work?

They take you through your performance throughout the different exercises you performed on the day and emphasise the strengths and weakness in your approach. It's usually a chill call but also take notes so you can use it in your next interview 😊

I know a few have heard back but has addleshaw sent out all telephone interviews and ac invites? I haven’t heard back since the online assessment and it’s one of the firms I really like!

 

[desperateTCseeker1998]

How long should my answers for “why commercial law” and “why X firm” be for a telephone interview? Or rather, what is too long lol

4 questions, you get 2 minutes to prepare for each and get 2 recording takes

Thank you so much!! Also do you know what type of questions they were like motivational, commercial, competency ect., just so I can direct my focus to where it matters. Thanks again

Hey, just wondering if anyone uses Watson’s Daily? What are your thoughts? I’ve read reviews that the app is really bad - logs people out and doesn’t let users log back in. Considering subscribing but don’t want to waste my money! Advice appreciated. Thank you!

The apps isn't amazing but can be accessed using a laptop. I think there is a free trial too

Have all the Mishcon comments/updates been for the Spring VS process?

I think so! I applied to Mishcon’s summer scheme and the last update I got was a standard holding email saying that they’ll get back to us by mid-February at the latest

Did anyone apply for Proskauer Rose TC?

 

[Adithi]

Hey, has anyone recieved a devbenvoise PFO yet? I know that if we didn't get an invite its assumed PFO, but have they officially sent out PFOs?

 

[Joey green]

If anyone has any insights in the Morgan Lewis telephone interview, I’d be eternally grateful. They are my last chance on any succes this cycle and I’m really desperate for this to go well…

 

[theruleofno]

Did anyone apply for Proskauer Rose TC?

I emailed their grad rec email to ask a question but never heard anything back. I can’t imagine their TC is that organised.

 

[sapphireoreos]

Thanks! I applied for the Vacation Scheme.

Thanks! Did you apply for their spring or summer one?
