    Addleshaw Goddard video interview

    I only heard back last week, so I think hold out hope for this week! I do know that they are currently running ACs, I'm not sure how many more they will be doing.

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Hi, yes I did a telephone interview for the TC. It was quite relaxed and conversational, asked me about my grades and education background, why I chose to study law and then a bit more about my work experience and why Ashurst. Although it felt like it went quite well, I didn't make it to the...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Hi Elsenat, I did the case study last week. Try not to stress, the actual interview itself was quite relaxed - they put you at ease. When you first arrive at Mishcon you and a few others (there were about 5 of us on my AC) will listen to a short presentation on the firm. Then you get split up...

    If I were you, I would just pick the scheme that is best for you dates wise. Although it may be a little harder to prove yourself, you just have to make sure you get to know people quickly and really make the most of your time! I'm sure the firm would say to you that it doesn't matter which...

    Hi everyone, bit last minute (have interview tomorrow) but could anyone help me with who Jones Day's competitors are and why? I have really struggled to find any specific reference to their competitors in my research. Thanks!

    Hi guys, thank you both helpful responses! I actually had the AC last week (this question didn't actually come up) and I was told the same day that I had a place on the summer scheme! :)

    Answering why specific office question

    Hey all. I am trying to prepare an answer for a question asking 'why the London office' of a firm which has both other international and national offices (DLA Piper). I think it is quite likely that I will get asked why the London office (As I did an Open Day at a different office) and am not...

    Madison, it is such a brutal process and it feels even worse when you have actually put the time into an application and feel proud of it - just feels like a complete waste. But if you still have ones you haven't heard from yet don't give up hope! Also even if you aren't successful in this...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Ah I'm sorry to hear that! Very frustrating, especially since you did apply well before the deadline. I think it sounds like you did pass the VI, but possibly if it took them a while to send you the invite to VI maybe you were in their 'maybe' pile? I am sure firms must outright reject some...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Does anyone know if RPC (or most firms in general) operate AC's on a rolling basis? I've been given the choice of two dates, and would probably rather do the one later in the same week to have more prep time (as have another AC at the start of the week) but equally want to take the date which...

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Hey Anaya, I submitted RPC on the deadline day and did the test early last week, I was invited to AC at the end of the week, the date of the AC is next week (pretty quick process!). I submitted Mishcon back in December, did the tests in December and got invited to VI in early Jan. I only heard...

    DLA Piper Interview

    This is really useful thanks everyone who has posted! I have an AC this Thursday, and have never done the case study style assessment before - what do you think the best way to prepare for this in advance of the day is? Did you write down notes and then use them when you were presenting it to...

    I just tried that but it still says 'Invitation to video interview' which makes me concerned that my VI didn't submit properly. I sent them an email asking that they would confirm they have received my VI but haven't heard back! Thank you, was very surprised actually as really thought I did...

    Ashurst TC interview!

    Hi, glad your AC went well! I have a telephone interview with Ashurst Grad Recruitment this week for TC! Is this first interview mostly competency based? Or is it worth knowing some legal issues/challenges for firms etc …. Were there any unexpected questions which you found hard? The email...
