    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Really? When I did that last year it didn’t let me re take them and at an event they said that was still the case! Weird

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Oh sorry! I thought the WG had an hour time constraint but that may be my memory letting me down, either way it’s definitely not a factor they use to consider your application! :)

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Yeah when I've spoken to them before they say you can still apply for the direct TC (which I am definitely doing) but not other VS for this year. However, you can't retake the test. So frustrating with the CAPP test because I had critical thinking as my highest which was different from the year...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Linklaters have a time limit but they have repeatedly stressed time doesn’t matter. I always thought they were timed to minimise cheating

    I just didn’t have the resilience as one of my highest, guess that must’ve been it haha oh well

    What were your CAPP results and WG score if you don't mind me asking? just trying to work out where I went wrong :)

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Does anyone know of anyone getting an AC that wasn't on the pathfinders scheme?

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I just got mine back and I got in the 98th percentile but still got rejected. I made it to an AC last year and the only difference is that one of my strongest attributes in the CAPP test was different. Just feel so deflated like what else can I do

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    How long did it take people to receive their WG score? In the past they've got back to me within 48 hours (with other queries) but seem to be taking longer :(

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi! This is a really stupid question but I just want a confirmation of this. For a cover letter do you include your own address in the top right then the address of the firm on the left with the date? Just having a panic and questioning everything

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I don't know if they value the percentile or raw mark more but they do look at each part of the application equally if that's any help

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I was told only those on the pathfinder scheme had their ACs this week so they will hear back and then they’ll move onto everyone else (links tend to get back very quickly after AC)

    2020-21 Open Days and Insight Events Applications Discussion

    If the only application question is what do you hope to gain from this open day?, is it appropriate to talk about previous experiences if they aren't covered elsewhere on the application form?

    AS Commercial Awareness Competition 20/21

    Perhaps they had issues with a lot of people bending the rules?

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Skadden's open day application form just asks 'why do you want to attend this open day' and then gives a box similar to one you'd put your name in. There is no word limit and no way of adding paragraphs etc. How much do you think they are looking for given this format? Is it one sentence or more...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    No they are supposedly interviewing those from the pathfinders scheme next week then will move onto ACs for everyone else who applied

    AS Commercial Awareness Competition 20/21

    Not trying to be harsh on AS at all (or take away from the great work they do!) but they do tend to be quite slow with these sorts of things. They’ve got the diversity law fairs going on so have probably prioritised those. I’ve attended previous things with them and it’s always taken ages to get...
