Thank you!!! I did it on the Feb 5th ☺️
Anyone else completely losing hope? Did an AC and thought it went well but others from my AC have heard back with positive news. Just getting very deflated 
Congratulations!!! Could I be incredibly nosy and ask whether your online portal has updated at all or whether you just got an email?
Thank you!! I noticed the email first but just checked and my portal did get updated
Thank you. Congratulations again! I'll continue refreshing my email and portal like a maniac in case I get some news
Definitely!
Almost everything has been brought online from education to business meetings to patient consolations. With such an increased reliance on online software systems and data storage, cyber-security is arguably a very significant area of concern right now. ☺️
If using this as a commercial story, I would narrow the issue to perhaps a specific company or a specific industry, that way you can have a more tailored discussion as on its own cyber-security is quite a broad topic.
This is for Willkie isn’t it- it’s quite simple: what business are you interested in and why? This could be a business closely related to their key practice areas but doesn’t have to be and may seem more authentic If it isn’t.
In other interviews in which I was asked a similar question, I spoke about air bnb, because I had read the book about it’s formation and I spoke about the then plan to do an IPO. Just be genuine imo
Thank you! They didn't mention that specifically. But they did say that they have only held two ACs so far (mine being the second). So I think there would be more coming along the way
Yes it is. I was thinking about talking about a semiconductor manufacturer I've been following and their unique history and positioning currently due to the global chip shortage and US pressures (both economic and political). But I started thinking maybe that kind of question would be asking "what business would you be applying to if not a law firm". I guess I spoke to a couple people and started overthinking. Thanks for the advice
For anybody still waiting to hear back from Macfarlanes post-app, GR have told me they’re still reviewing applications and hope to let all applicants know by mid-March. Does anybody know if they’re still running assessment centres in March?
