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

    I’m not a fan of the tests either. A because it disadvantages people that may not be able to splash out the money for al the practice tests and b particularly for the firms that immediately send you the test after you apply I have just wasted hours and hours on an application form only to not...

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

    i mean I know it’s a rejection, it would be crazy to invite someone to an AC with like a days notice. Just think it’s really bad form for them to not let people know. Anyway, thank you and same to you. Hope you have some positive responses soon

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

    still have not heard back from SPB. I find it actually quite rude at this point. Also waiting for OC and TW, emailed both but not received a response (and Lewis Silkin for the spring workshop).

    I feel you! And thank you, my AC was two weeks ago, so luckily I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Fingers crossed they will come back to you soon. They are doing ACs all the way through Feb and March, so I wouldn’t feel discouraged

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    i didn’t ask for my WG, but I think Capp really varies. Have seen all kinds of strengths and weaknesses, so there will probably be a scoring system that gives every single answer a certain score. Anyway, I got Motivation and Leadership Preference as highest scores and my lowest score was...

    I emailed them last week since I haven’t even made it to the game based assessment and they said they are still reviewing.

    Yep, still waiting, but it’s going to be either a rejection or they are keeping some as backup in case someone drops out. Invites were sent last week

    That’s my issue. I already study for the GDL, part-time, so won’t finish until summer 2021. They would take over the payment, so I’m not sure what the right thing is in the situation.

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

    I have a TC offer from a firm that isn’t really my first choice and a vac scheme with my first choice firm. I was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation? Would you turn down the TC and hope that the vac scheme turns into a TC or contact grad recruitment and say that you’ve been...

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

    I feel you! I have had so many rejections and it genuinely makes no sense for some. For one firm my uni career advisor said it’s extremely good, still did not even through to the test round. I have a list of 14 more firms I’d potentially apply to for a direct TC, only 2 of which I’m actually...

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

    they do have 75 places to fill though and they are seeing max 12 people per day on 3 days per week, so unless every single person has been offered a place which seems unlikely they will definitely still be meeting people. But I obviously don’t know...

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

    I submitted my seat preferences today and was told that I probably won’t know until March when all places have been filled which seat I’ll be in. So from the sounds of it they are doing interviews for at least another 8 weeks, so I really wouldn’t worry about it at this stage. They’ve only been...

    Oh no . I’m sorry to hear that. They are definitely still doing ACs next week, so there may be some more after that depending on how people do I suppose.

    I applied on the 09.12., did the WG and other tests on the 11.12. and then received the AC invite on the 08.01. Hope that helps ☺️

    The HR interview is CV based plus standard competency based questions, but they will all be directly linked to their values. Definitely be prepared for there to be follow up questions on everything you say. Don’t try to memorise your answers, they are big on personality so you want to come...
