I applied on 5 November. I chased them up earlier this week to see when I should expect to hear an outcome. They asked if I was interviewing elsewhere or if I needed to know sooner for any other reason. So I replied that I am interviewing with three other firms. They responded today asking which firms and when so I let them know and they said they will get back to me as soon as possible.
Does anyone know if an invite to a Watson Farley Williams video interview is automated / forms part of your written application or something? Or whether it means you've passed the first stage of the selection process?
Hey everyone, I made a thread on the CMS assessment centre since I've been getting a lot of questions about it and have seen a lot more people getting AC invites recently (congratulations btw!!)
Just thought I'd post the link here in case anyone needs it: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/cms-assessment-centre.3220/

yes can someone shed light on this pls!!^^ seems like some firms have made it mandatory to list AS Levels too. I was hoping to skip them as I did much better in my final A-Level grades.
Nice work!
In my TC interview they grilled me on what other Firms I’d applied to so make sure that you can link the Firms you have interviews with - ie so it doesn’t look like a scattergun approach!
Best of luck
I’ll probably do the same if I don’t hear by the end of next week. 2 months is a really long wait
Hey, just got an AC invite with them.Burges Salmon emailed on Monday saying they'd aim to get back to everyone by the end of today-has anyone heard yet?
No luck with Burges Salmon, congrats to everyone who got an AC invite!

I was tempted to reply saying "none of your business" haha.
My firms are definitely a lot more targeted this year than previously.
Joining the Friday end-of-week deflated bandwagon with some of you lovely people... Beginning to think my chances are scuppered with Bakers and Mishcon - applied for them on 9th Dec and 23rd Dec, respectively, and yet to hear from either or even get a WG invite or anything - I've accepted the worst but it is my first cycle of applying as a career changer. Is it over for me and these firms do we think? haha.
Although will take my wins where I can as I was delighted to get invited to the next stage of Taylor Wessing, the game which I'll do tomorrow

NEVER GIVE UP!! You have so got this and everyones journey to a training contract has a different timescale
Out of interest, when did you apply to TW?
I did the same thing as this and talked about a broader trend but by giving specific examples.
It asks for a topic, rather than just one caseI applied earlier than you for mishcon and still no reply. Hate it tbh because Mishcon was high up on my list and my application was one of my strongestJoining the Friday end-of-week deflated bandwagon with some of you lovely people...

Haha I actually did this last year during VS interview (unsuccessful)!
I think I said something along the lines of, just because I have applied to one firm doesn't detract from advantages/disadvantages of others etc.

Applied to Mishcon on the 26th and haven't heard back either, I feel like there's so many applications this year they're just working their way through them all!
