    Wow that looks rough. So much choice. The argument doesn’t relate to the statement? Maybe I am silly. I’d say very weak argument. I tend to narrowly pass these tests so I’m not the best person to give advice.

    I think leadership is an attribute that can be lowest as it’s something that can be developed. Now you have to show you can be a at the AC to balance it all out ha.

    We have the same weakness.My strengths were excellence and working with others. Out of all of them I don’t think our weakness is as bad. We could’ve got intellect!

    I I think you were rejected because you had already attended an open-day (social mobility). They’re probably thinking “this person knows soo much about us already what more do they want” 😁 start prepping your VS application and pour that love into the application questions. I don’t think their...

    from rejection to success (hopefully)

    I am also in your positions. I am applying to graduate schemes. It is hard to put effort into applying to other careers I have no desire for. I have looked at compliance and risk mainly. Commercial roles within banks. V&E are energy heavy so if that’s your interest go for it!

    US firms tend to have more mature TC holders. I did an internship with people aged 29 and 26. The 29 year old got a TC. She was a career changer that knew she wanted to go into law but pursued other careers before law as she wanted to experience difference sectors. I assume this outlook and...

    They’re super vague in their emails I got the same response. I reckon they invite people to AC if they’re not what they’re looking for they invite more people to VI and leave the AC people hanging it’s cruel.

    Agreed. However, they read apps as they came in and made decisions. I spoke to graduate recruitment personally. Seeing as the person who got the written exercise applied 2 days before the deadline I’d like to hope for my sake they don’t review them in date order.

    Hello @WillkieGemma I had a question regarding your open day. Those who have secured a place on your open day. Are they chosen on the basis of their potential to work at Willkie. I have secured a place on the open day but I think I’m having imposter syndrome and maybe it was given to most who...

    Question: I applied for links TC before and was rejected post candidate review. I think I failed the WG. However for their open day it has a tick next to the candidate review. Wouldn’t be correct to assume I heave passed the WG and is at 100%. For those who have applied to Linklaters in the past...
