Are people wearing suit jackets during their AC/interviews? I am curious what others have been doing or have observed. I do recognise that the standard is formal attire for an interview. However, anecdotally I've heard of some partners suggesting that candidates could lose their tie or were themselves dressed very informally.

Suit & tie, always.

Does anyone who has used TopScore for a written exercise know if you can highlight on the documents or copy things from them onto the exercise? GR didn’t want to tell me

Hi! You can’t edit or highlight the document. Nor can you copy words from the document to your written exercise text box or elsewhere.

Hope that helps!

From what i can remember i believe there is a notes section where you can make your notes but i personally found it more of a hassle tohaving to keep changing tabs so maybe just have a pen and paper with you? Good luck!!

It's always lovely to hear from candidates straight away and shows how keen they are... but once you're on the scheme, no one remembers if you accept on the first or last day of the offer! That's just my opinion though :) When we've recruited in my non-law company, some of the best interns have been those that took their time considering the offer before accepting



WOW I mean DUH why are you not SHOUTING ABOUT THIS?! Amazing experience!!!!! it shows so much resilience and strength, the initiative to run a successful business, commercial awareness in terms of dealing with marketing, finance, strategy... use this to your advantage! This is far more relevant than any extracurriculars in my opinion and I wish I was entrepreneurial enough to start my own business! Maybe try to think about what your business may require from a law firm? What about if it was a franchise? How can you show that this work attracts you to becoming a commercial solicitor?
This is so nice of you thank you! So many helpful ideas too, I really appreciate the help. :):)

Is anyone still waiting to hear from Addleshaw Goddard?
Yes. I actually think it's my best application, which probably means that it'll be a PFO. 😆
