    Addleshaw Goddard Application

    @Jaysen I'm referring to the third question where they state that collaboration is their most important quality - then they ask how you would describe them. Like I said, either you say exactly what they've said in the question and look like an idiot for repeating the question, or you describe...

    Addleshaw Goddard Application

    Does anyone else absolutely HATE the Addleshaw Goddard application form?! There's no opportunity to say ANYTHING on it. The only want your work experience for the three years which just completely excludes older people who have more experience over a longer period of time. You don't even get to...

    Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus

    I had a VS with Fieldfisher for this summer, they've postponed it until next year and didn't even consider anyone on the scheme for a training contract. We were literally excluded from the TC consideration because we had a VS. They gave out their TC offers in early March supposedly so it's...

    I've secured a vacation scheme with a law firm for this summer in the hopes of securing a training contract with them. However, they've just announced on their Facebook page that they've filled all their training contract places?!? I know that they also have ongoing interviews as someone has...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Has anyone else applied to Freshfields? Should I have received an email confirmation? My online account says the application is complete but I haven't had an email through at all (applied about a week ago).

    I just checked another couple of forums and no one I can find on there has heard. Nothing we can do except wait it out.

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

    I haven't heard anyone say they've had an invite - just someone say that they'd heard other people get an invite (I'd always treat that with a pinch of salt). Maybe they're just late? Who knows. (Desperately trying to stay positive here).

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

    Stephenson Harwood were a nightmare when I applied to their Open Day. They literally never replied to my application so I emailed them the day before the Open Day just to confirm I was unsuccessful - they didn't reply. I then got an email months later saying that I was unsuccessful for their...

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    I had my interview on Thursday morning and I heard back on Tuesday afternoon. Don't try to read into anything - sometimes how quickly you will hear back might depend on which of the recruitment team have your application in their pile or things like that. It's not always an indicator of anything...

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    I didn't get a commercial question either. They told me that the AC is on the 9th but also said I'd hear back on my interview within seven days (and my interview was on the 5th) so I'm not sure how that's even going to be possible?

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    The seven days should be for finding out whether you've got an interview because my email for my feedback said "We will be in touch within 7 days regarding the outcome of your application.". It's been 14 days for me now and I haven't heard back. I emailed them and they said that they're still...

    Fieldfisher Online Assessment

    The test was mostly about your personality so there isn't a right or wrong answer. I assume the firm are looking for a range of people so will use these tests to make sure that they have a range of personality types going through the next round. Without knowing everyone else applying, you won't...
