    Macfarlanes Assessment Centre

    Dear community, I have taken the liberty to address a silly question here - please accept my apologies for it, but I don't get what I ought to do. On the app. page, there are a few questions such as to explain why Macfarlanes and what qualities successful lawyers should have at the firm; the...

    they don't, JD's ref request is sort of the second stage of their app process as far as I'm aware of :)

    I'm very sorry to hear this - heads up, your name is on someone else's TC list. Mind asking what scheme did you apply for (VS/TC) and when?

    Private equity resources

    I did PE during my Corporate Finance classes. Though the internet is full of resources, I strongly recommend a chapter in a book. It has about 20 pages (well, the chapter has 50, but 20 are essential) - if you still have your uni account, I think you can download it. Drop me a line in private...

    My respect for those who managed to squeeze their entire motivation and what recommends them in 60 seconds. The VIs that I had asked me to do so in 2 mins, but 1 min...

    My favourite part was the numerical section! Though I wouldn't compare it that way since it's not rocket science to calculate 2+2, but it was funny...

    Does Ashurst send an automatic email which informs candidates if they've failed to meet the pass mark for Revelian? I'm genuinely curious about my performance in that test.

    Covington Application

    Hey I had the same doubts myself! My guess is to go for the former (and explain how) because otherwise they’d have mentioned to write how we demonstrated those skills in the past. For example, the question after the one in your quote asks to explain when we brought a positive contribution to a...

    Fourth year of applications... perhaps my final year?

    May I give you my opinion on your post, particularly on the ABC A-levels. The thing with your background is that it's very diverse, and you shouldn't believe that the grades you had ages ago will be the chip on your shoulder. Any recruiter who will assess your academic credentials will not put...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Technical question - bonds v equity

    A. Bonds and IPO Via bonds you get money, so you cannot become public by using them. :) A company becomes public after issuing an IPO, i.e. people are buying shares in your company --> hence it becomes public bcos they own shares in it. B. Can private companies issue bonds? Yes, private...

    How to jump back from rejection?

    I know exactly how you feel; my last TC AC was at one of the MC firms and still cannot comprehend how I failed it, especially since I had put lots of effort into it. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens that despite our prep, the interviewing process is, eventually, subjective - apart from all...

    Thanks for letting me know! I think that we won't get an email this week since the NYE's coming soon... perhaps by mid-Jan we should receive an answer. Keep you posted :)

    Non-law struggling to apply

    just apply, don't be put down by this. Most people don't know even in their 50's if their job is actually what they wanted. Welcome to the uncertain world :)
