Hi - this was really helpful as I have the simmons and simmons VI and tests this week! Can I ask - where do I find a practice Korn Ferry test online? Do you have a good link? if so would be great if you could share, thank you

https://www.trytalentq.com/ is the link! Good luck

Just invited to an AC for TLT (direct TC, for 2022 intake, applied last summer - postponed due to Covid).

You honestly never know! I have definitely had interviews where i thought they went better than they had and those I thought I had messed up but thankfully hadn't. Sometimes the things we labour over in our minds will barely have registered with the interviewers so try not to worry and cause yourself any unnecessary tension. Regardless of the outcome, all interviews are a great learning experience as well.

Thank you I definitely needed this!

To the people that received the email from Reed Smith saying that they need to send their research questions despite already sending them a month ago, did you just forward them again? I’m worried my email is going into their junk and they’re not recognising them. I don’t know whether to call them

Has anyone heard from fox williams yet?

Don't expect to hear anything here until April/May

Does anyone know how long it takes for Ashurst to send out test invites?

 

[Lumree]

I've re-sent mine and copied in Graduate Recruitment - if I don't receive an acknowledgement I think I'll call them tomorrow.

Hi all,
For the Ashurst cover letter, I was wondering whether it is required to discuss ‘why Ashurst’, as there is another question similarly addressing this?
Thank you in advance for any advice!

I received an email from Jones Day saying they liked my profile but have filled all spaces now but they encourage me to re-apply and mention this email next cycle. Is this an automated email for later applicants or did they read it and genuinely like it?

So sorry to hear this but I've previously been rejected by them and definitely did not get that email! also, do you think they mean filled spaces for the scheme or ACs as I've yet to do my ac!
