Guys I’m in a bit of a crisis.

I’ve just received an invite to the AG AC which is amazing, but I’ve already got my Mills & Reeve AC on the same day and ALL the AG slots overlap with that AC by a few minutes each way. My Mills and Reeve AC was booked weeks ago and can’t be changed now. Super upset... I’ve already emailed grad recruitment, anyone have any advice? The AC is next Tues which doesn’t really give much time!
well done! I'm sure AG will be able to reschedule

Edit: I would try and call AG rather than email

Just had my final interview for the firm that shall not be named (rhymes with birkband) and safe to say it was a car crash.... I will not be getting that VS but happy to help others who have it coming up :)
Sorry about that. If you don't mind me asking, when was your AC and when did you get invited to interview??

I've heard from a friend who did it last year and was successful that everyone feels that way coming out of an interview with Stephen L. He is just very forceful with the questions and really doesn't back down!

Were the questions quite focussed on why them and why PE?

I also had a question about this - what points did you include/ what structure did you use for this?
also when it says 'are there any lessons we can learn from them' does the 'we' mean WBD?
So, first I stated what they were/what they did and why I thought it was innovative.
- then went into a bit more detail about their services/elements of activism they took part in.
I took ‘we’ to mean WBD and also the legal sector at large. So I said what innovative elements of the business I would extract and apply to WBD and also legs professionals in general :) good luck!

    Guys im a bit confused - does anyone know what a blank status means on CVmail? Some previously unsuccessful apps + successful apps all have a blank status on mine as well as some current ones? However, someone else on here noted they had 'in inbox' status?? Anyone know anything?
