    DLA Piper Application

    I was only just sent a WG the other day. Maybe they are waiting for all results to come in.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I am wondering the same thing but it just depends on the scores of everyone else that applied. I met grad rec at an event and asked whether there was anything I can do to increase my chances of success given that I am not able to alter my application in any way. They said that receiving that...

    Fourth year of applications... perhaps my final year?

    I have made it past review stage for a number of firms with strict criteria. I have C, E, E equivalent in my BTEC and a 2.1 from a non-RG. I agree that some firms are probably more strict than others. I would approach it in the same way as Frank, call or email the firm and ask. I wouldn't...

    I was not able to progress to the next page until mine was under 1600 characters, so you will not have been able to go over!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica. Happy new year!! I have just finished an application and was feeling pretty happy with it, but doubt is starting to creep in and I am wondering whether I have fully answered the question. I would appreciate your input. The question is 'What current issues do you think have an...

    I took HSF's online test a few days ago but haven't yet had an email saying whether I passed the benchmark. Does this usually come straight away?

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I was not able to find the page so I submitted it and then emailed grad rec straight away. The emailed me back today asking for my GCSE details which I just provided. I don't know if they were meant to be included or not.

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I am honestly struggling with the form haha. I think I am tired. Ok, so I found the work experience section and I have filled that in but now I can't find GCSE and A-Level section other than the contextual info section. I have gone back and forth through the form but there is nowhere for GCSES...

    I have just submitted my HSF application. Is it correct that they do not ask for any work experience details?

    CC rejection too. I am genuinely shocked as I thought that was my best application EVER.

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    No problem. I use jobtestprep and assessmentday.com. I subscribe to both. Maybe a little over the top, but I like having a lot of different questions to practise with. I also use Clifford Chance's practise test and the practise test on the Pearson Talentlens website. I am absolutely rubbish...

    I got 32 right and 93rd percentile and made it to VI. 72nd percentile is still really good! They must have a high benchmark.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Excellence was my weakest attribute too according to the CAPP. I was rejected from the winter VS but asked to reapply for the spring/summer one so it wasn't quite a straight no. Maybe someone that proceeded to assessment centre could share what their weakness was.
