Addleshaw Goddard & Dickson Minto Interview

[Ivyy]

Hey guys, has anyone recently attended the video interview of Addleshaw Goddard, specifically Edinburgh/Glasgow office? I did mine at 6th, but haven't heard anything back. I don't know if that means a rejection (coz I saw someone posted in 2019, and the candidate received the interview invitation on the same day as me, but heard it back on Jan 10th).

And has anyone done Dickson Minto interview online for corporate summer placement before? What kind of questions they tend to ask (they have pointed out it won't be a motivation-competency based interview)? Any advice would be mostly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hey Ivy, I have been invited for an interview with Addleshaw Goddard. May I ask what questions you were asked?
I wouldn't worry about not hearing back yet as the deadline has only recently passed so they are probably waiting to review all of the applications before inviting candidates to the assessment centre.
Good luck!

I applied for Addleshaw Goddard on 4 Jan and yet to hear back... How long after applying did you hear back if you dont mind me asking? I've also been invited for an interview with Dickson Minto but for the Commercial Property placement. Have you had yours yet?

Hi Grace, thanks for the reassurance! May I know when you were invited to interview and which office you applied? (Just wanna see if different offices are synchronised)
As for my own interview questions, it starts from 1) Tell us about yourself; 2) what skills do you think a successful trainee needs to acquire 3)what is commercial awareness and why do you think a successful trainee of AG needs to have commercial awareness; 4) Tell us about a recent business story and its impact to our clients or to the firm; 5) add on sth if you like

I applied for the vacation scheme at Addleshaw Goddard, did the critical thinking test, and have not had any updates. Have you guys heard anything?

 

[Ivyy]

Did you have any update ?

still not yet. I've received several rejection letters by now already. Did you hear anything from AG. i might personally take it as a no from AG for me

 

[Prabs]

I haven’t received anything, got several rejections as-well, you’re not alone. Keep going is all I can say.

Same not heard anything. I did email at the end of January asking when there will be an update and they said they were in the process of reviewing applications and would update in due course.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the encouragement. Just I'm in my final year now. Seeing peers all getting TC, I'm really struggling
