Does anyone know if Baker McKenzie will look at your WG mark and application holistically or is their WG like a benchmark type deal - I haven't heard back yet also not meaning to panic anyone lol just wondering
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Have you got a WG invite?Does anyone know if Baker McKenzie will look at your WG mark and application holistically or is their WG like a benchmark type deal - I haven't heard back yet also not meaning to panic anyone lol just wondering
No I haven't heard! I was just wondering as some firms take into account the strength of your application and it can outweigh a mediocre WG but seems like you are saying that isn't the caseHave you got a WG invite?
As far as i know, first they consider your app. and if you pass at that stage then they send you a WG invite and then if you meet the WG benchmark then they send you a VI invite.
Applied on 23rd Feb and havent heard yet!Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Baker McKenzie direct TC?
hi pals in the same boat as you! But I applied a lot earlier, on the 12th Feb, rooting for all of us !! ( ; 3 ; )Applied on 23rd Feb and havent heard yet!
Sorry to hear that mate, never heard of a law firm sending out PFOs on a Sunday. Good luck with your remaining applicationsBaker McKenzie's PFO just came in. Guess they are running an extremely tight shift to send a PFO on a sunday.
Thanks mate! TC Applications have taught me not take rejections personally. Some law firm would be a right fit for me.Sorry to hear that mate, never heard of a law firm sending out PFOs on a Sunday. Good luck with your remaining applications
I used all the word count and was invited to ACI think writing until you feel you have included all the information that is relevant is a good method to follow. Anything more than that will just sound waffley and wordy. An answer that's 350-400 words of quality is better than 500 of nothing! Besides, being clear and explaining yourself concisely is a key skill for a lawyer! ☺️
That's great!I used all the word count and was invited to AC
While I do agree that it is important to be concise and not waffle, I think that the character count is purposefully quite long as PM doesn't have a pre-AC interview so it's their chance to get to know you. I also think that it is better to be as close to the word count as possible (maybe at a maximum of 10% under) as it clearly demonstrates that you can follow instructions and work to a brief. Even if you don't have 4000 characters worth of hobbies, perhaps you could go into more detail and demonstrate the skills that those hobbies taught you or your motivations for doing them!That's great!
What I was trying to convey though is that you don't have to. For some people hitting a 4000 character word limit on hobbies might be hard to do! Explaining yourself clearly and concisely depends on a number of things, how many points you have, what you want to discuss etc! It's almost always about quality over quantity
Hey! You might find this helpful!Which firms recruit heavily from TC please?
