    GDL Results

    Hi, I experienced this whilst at the Uni of Law. Because it was the same uni, they give you a 6 week waiver so that you can start the course without yet having the results. Obviously if you are going to a different uni for your LPC than for your GDL this probably won't be the case!

    Hi! I had this exact situation happen to me - I pressed backwards on a mac and the whole thing reset. After that I was locked out and couldn’t do anything. I emailed graduate recruitment of the firm and they responded about 3 hours later and just reset the entire test for me! Try not to stress...

    They were just virtual for everyone - that was the way the firms had chosen to run them :)

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi LL, I know you asked Jessica but thought you might find this insight useful - I have been invited to 5 ACs this year, 4 for Vac schemes and 1 for direct TC, and all 5 of them have been virtual. I suspect it is likely that a lot of firms are opting for this anyway, so it might not be something...

    Hi I’m just finishing off the LPC at ULaw now having started in September. I didn’t do the masters which adds an extra module so just something to bear in mind but this is how my year looked: First semester, I had 3 core modules which you will have to do, plus a module on introduction to...

    When an interviewer asks at the end of the interview ‘is there anything else you want us to know that you think will help with your application?’ Is there anything specific they are looking for? I always stumble on this question and never know what they are really after. Any help would be...

    It is really interesting to see this from a recruitment perspective, I hadn't really appreciated or considered how much it aids in not having to cut people based on slight grade discrepancies etc! I can see that it does give the firm a chance to view and get to know more candidates rather than...

    Thank you for this - I will check out your post! It is interesting to see different perspectives on it and I definitely wrote my initial post in a moment of frustration. I do appreciate that it gives people an opportunity to stand out other than just on paper, and that the recruiters will know...

    Just had my last VI of this cycle. I fully understand the benefits of video interviewing from the recruiter's point of view but I just do not think it is fair or possible to assess whether someone is a suitable candidate based off SIX minutes of them talking into a camera. One faulty answer and...

    There was a really interesting article on the FT a few days ago about City lawyers and the impact of the Russian sanctions. May help with commercial awareness and challenges facing the legal profession: https://www.ft.com/content/71468746-5e48-493a-8d13-c4b520c9ee22
