3 months lol (I ended up being successful but wow I thought the firm was just ghosting me)
That was like CMS sending me emails how to ace assessment centres a month after they rejected me after one hahaha
To those who are still waiting post-app for Stephenson Harwood, I just had an interview and it seems like they're still going through applications so hopefully you'll hear back soon!
I got onto their
Oh sorry, should have been clearer. I got through to their two day virtual networking and assessment centre, which I understand is what they’re doing instead of a full vac scheme this year. This was after I completed a video interview at the end of Feb.
Are people still waiting to hear back from Winston & Strawn? I am 🥺
Any successful response from Gateley at all?
Also, are people still waiting for Travers cuz I'm pretty sure they've dished out some Vacs recently?

For anyone having any success throughout the recruitment process with Willkie, just saw this today. Might be worth bracing yourselves!

I'm aware, however I don't think its productive to scare people with these news stories.
Depends on what type of written task it is! If it's a case-study based written assessment, my case studies article is a great place to start - accessible via link in my signature

I'm being flippant here but, if this is true, it's absolutely appalling and should never have been allowed in the first place. I also think it's 100% worth people knowing about - I don't see it as 'scaring people', but actually allowing them to make a full and rounded judgement over whether or not they should consider applying or accepting offers there.

Read everything - the instructions, the context and any attachments - before you put 'pen to paper'
Check what you're being asked: is it an email of advice, is it a letter/letter before claim, is it a note to a colleague or client. The similarity between all of these will be write in as concise, plain English as possible. Short sentences, paragraphs, minimal legalese, sub-headings if appropriate
Back up claims with evidence in attachments
Relax! A history teacher of mine used to write ATFQ on my essays (Answer the F****** Question), funny guy. Best way of doing this is address any questions in opening lines of paragraphs, using wording for instance, and proof read after
