I’m still waiting as well. They said end of January beginning of February so hopefully we will hear soon 🤞Me too!
Did they email you saying that ??Kirkland AC is no longer the final stage - successful AC candidates will be invited to a partner interview. Looks like Kirkland are offering more ACs this cycle and separating them from interviews.
I just got the emailDid they email you saying that ??
thank you for this! just feels so weird that there's complete radio silence from most firms I have applied to.I think it's generally completely random how GR review apps. Jess has said this on the matter https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ssion-thread-2020-21.2170/page-343#post-48841
Don't lose hope yet! x
This was me until about a week ago. Assume it’s a PFO at this stage because so many people have got VIs. I haven’t heard of any more VIs since mid JanAnyone else experienced radio silence from Mishcon post-app?
Yep! Applied on the deadline thoughAnyone else experienced radio silence from Mishcon post-app?
So you heard back last week?This was me until about a week ago. Assume it’s a PFO at this stage because so many people have got VIs. I haven’t heard of any more VIs since mid Jan
I'd say yes because firms probably would find it odd for you to be giving 2 totally contradicting viewpoints. I'd just reiterate the reason itself, and maybe expand on it and bring in other aspects.This may be a silly question, but is it OK to repeat what you said in your cover letter/application answers in your video interview? E.g. repeating your reasons in the VI for "Why Law?" or "Why this firm?" that you already listed in your application (not word for word obviously).
Also, does anyone know if we can re-record VI answers for the V&E VI this year?
Thank you!!
I got my video interview on Friday 29th of jan, so I think they were at least sending them out until the end of last weekThis was me until about a week ago. Assume it’s a PFO at this stage because so many people have got VIs. I haven’t heard of any more VIs since mid Jan
I remember from last year I had 3 minutes to answer each question. Prepare standard ones like why law, why PwC, what skills can you bring to the organisation. There were also SJT questions and a case study at the end (mine was about an employment issue). There’ll be sub-questions in each question. I’m not sure if they changed the format this year tho. Good luck!!Anyone got any tips for the PWC VI?
Furthermore, is it appropriate to mention in my application that I secured a spring vacation scheme at another firm? Wanna show my dedication to law lol
I am in the same boat! Not assuming good news tbh, but I am getting more and more convinced that the order in which apps are reviewed is completely random!thank you for this! just feels so weird that there's complete radio silence from most firms I have applied to.
I think it will be 2 more months still as their application process is really competitive but from what I heard they only have 3 people in grad recruitment so it explains why it takes so long for them to send out interview emails.When can we expect to hear from Travers Smith?
Thanks and Best of luck with it!I got my video interview on Friday 29th of jan, so I think they were at least sending them out until the end of last week
I don't understand this application process. I have a number of firms in the pipeline - I worked hard on these applications, have not heard back yet and see others on this forum invited to AC at those firms already. For Reed Smith, I got invited to answer the research questions on 4th Jan with a deadline of 8th Jan ( the same week I was preparing for an HSF AC and still had my my full-time job working 8.30am - 7.30pm.) I decided not to answer the questions as I did not have time. I received an email on 26th Jan from Reed Smith reminding me to answer the questions before the 29th Jan. I then decided to write something really last minute and quickly after work. Assumed the answers would be poor quality and the fact they were sent late would not be looked at favourably. I have just been invited to AC????
