    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I have an interview coming up with HR as part of the TC interview process. Does anyone know what kind of questions they'd expect to be asked at the end? I've prepped questions for the partners but I can't think of anything to ask HR that wouldn't make me look like an idiot...

    I passed mine on 7th August (for 2023 TC) and still haven't heard back! Think they'll probably focus right now on the applications for the 2022 intake which suddenly opened up

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica! I'm doing the Slaughters vac scheme in mid-September, and they've just emailed to say that I should submit my CV and cover letter for the TC interview before the scheme in preparation for an interview at the end of September. I've updated my CV with some more uni positions I've...

    I just wrote random letters in the text boxes so it would let me progress to the next stage, then edited in my answers at the 'review application' stage which is 99% in!

    I don't think tutors actually stop checking emails in holidays, do they? Mine has still emailed me, and it's a long break so they must still be in communication with lots of people!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica! I'm really confused about whether I'll need the GDL or not. I'm a non-law student, graduating in 2021, so I assumed I should be applying for 2023 training contracts from this autumn. I thought I'd spend the intervening two years doing the courses/sitting the tests for the SQE. But...

    Funniest/Stupidest Thing You've Said in an Interview?

    He took it surprisingly well actually, as far as I remember, just said yes it comes from underground! But that moment was so embarrassing it gave me many sleepless nights over the next few weeks...

    Funniest/Stupidest Thing You've Said in an Interview?

    There's a similar thread on TSR which I found quite entertaining, so I thought I might as well start one here and see if it gets off the ground! I can start with a contribution to the 'stupidest thing you've said' side. Had an interview in January where the partner and I started discussing...

    SQE & Training Contract Timeline

    Hi Jessica! I was wondering - even with the SQE, should I be applying to the September 2023 intake if I'm graduating in June 2021? (I'm non-law too)

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

    Seriously, 100% don't worry about it. I didn't say 'why them' one single time in my interview and it was fine. There's no need to answer a question they haven't asked. Also, I know it's tempting but don't endlessly rehash your interview in your head! It won't have any productive effect and...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Frankly I think it'll be the former since I know ACs have already been running, but you never know!

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

    Do you have to tell them before you start the VS that you'd like a TC interview during it? Or will that be something they speak to you about once you're actually there?

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

    Thank you!! I gave very stupid answers to some basic questions so they probably hadn't even got to the 'pushing' stage haha. Good luck to everyone!

    I just got a VS at Slaughters and I'm honestly soooo shocked because my interview was a car crash
