    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I don't think anyone has heard back from FF post WG. Alice said last year it took about two weeks to hear back that she'd been offered an AC

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I'm sorry to hear that - but we have no idea what's strong and what isn't - we're almost completely blind here. I submitted an application to HSF, spent forever on it, have visited the firm multiple times, met trainees and Grad Rec etc, got multiple trainees to read over my application and...

    How hard is it to pass the LPC?

    That seems absurd to me. How are you supposed to do something with no guidance or support? I assume it's because it's only 3000 words, but still, seems stupid. I'm sorry that happened.

    I was invited to a WG a week ago but nothing since.

    Maybe, but maybe not. No news is good news and it's not a PFO until it's a PFO. Law firms work in mysterious ways.

    Really? I thought this was a big no-no. Thanks

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Thanks, but do they do all the second cycle interviews before making offers to anyone from the first cycle? If so, I wonder why they even split them.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Does anyone know when Freshfields make TC offers for the first-round applications? I have an AC with another firm for direct TC at the end of February and am waiting to hear if I have a final interview with FF. I prefer FF (so far) and wouldn't want to pull out of their process but also don't...

    Just invited to an AC for TLT (direct TC, for 2022 intake, applied last summer - postponed due to Covid).

    Heard from FF for a Direct TC on Thursday. Invite to WG test.

    I've just completed the Freshfields Watson Glaser, when I finished, it popped up (in red bold), "Sorry - this email address has already been registered." Did it do that for everyone else?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    This, quite literally, happened to me last cycle. I missed an invitation from Freshfields because my email was filtering things out (not even putting them into junk, just not letting it through at all). Check your online portals just to be sure!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey guys, I have the Watson Glaser coming up for FF and I'm so lost on some questions. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? For the Virtual Employees question, my thinking is that the paragraph doesn't in anyway say what proportion of employees work from home - it just simply never mentions...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Anyone else still waiting to hear back from HFW? I'd pretty much given up all hope but I'm pretty sure someone posted the other day they'd received a rejection - and I'm still waiting to hear. I heard back from a firm earlier this week offering me an AC for a TC application I submitted last...

    In my experience, it shouldn't be capitalised unless it would be capitalised for another reason. Like "I enjoyed studying geography because..." but "I enjoyed studying English because...". Languages should always be capitalised. I'd capitalise it as the name of your degree and module titles though.

    Thank you. I did a non-law undergrad so nothing is particularly relevant from that - although I did achieve over 80% in my GDL master's.

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I was at an event a couple of years ago where a recruiter said "relish goes on burgers, not on applications". She's head of gradrec at a firm that's been referred to on this thread in last day.
