    yes, I think it's worth bearing in mind that this period is super busy for GR, so it isn't unusual for there to be a slight delay in them sending the WG invites - they don't send them to candidates all at once. By automatic, I mean that everyone receives a WG invite eventually - they don't...

    no, you don't immediately receive it - sometimes there's a delay in relaying that info but they will definitely inform you if you have been unsuccessful - wishing you the best of the luck with your application! :)

    It's automatic - your application is only reviewed if you pass the WG benchmark.

    I think the OP is aware that the firm would have spoken to other students too and of course an AC is not guaranteed as a result. However, the tone of your message isn't very kind. It is clear that the OP is disheartened so if you do not have anything encouraging to say, I think it's best not to...

    Hi! I think you should definitely go ahead and try and submit some applications for the winter VS, if you have the time. I understand your reasons for wanting to include the job on the job experience section but I think that is only useful if you will be able to extract key skills and...

    I think you could but I interpreted it as that they are looking to find out more about your interests - you won't be penalised if you mention something law related though. :)

    Hi! I think it all depends on your current commitments, i.e. full-time work etc. If you think that doing a direct TC is better use of your time then go for it! I think majority of their TCs go to their vac schemes but they heavily recruit from their direct TC pool too.. I don't think there is a...

    Hi! I have applied to HSF many times before but just never got passed those tests. This time, I did their practice tests and just tried not to panic and answer them in the best way that I could. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

    For apps to HSF, does your app only get 'reviewed' after you pass the benchmark for the tests? I received an email following the tests that it is now 'under review'. Thanks!

    Had a feedback call after an unsuccessful post-AC. However, I found the feedback to be super encouraging. The interviewers said I was more than capable of doing the role and that I showed a strong understanding of the firm and showed enthusiasm for embarking on a career in law. It was my first...

    In feedback calls, do candidates have the opportunity to ask questions to GR? Or do you just take it all in while they talk at you sorta thing? I guess this may be firm dependent but interested to know! :)
