For anyone who's been rejected post TC interview, what did they state as your main areas for improvement? Just interested to know!

I've gotten the following feedback post vac scheme AC's:

- Did not score high enough on the psychometric testing

- Should structure answers better and answer the question directly (I think this was just a firm specific preference, as they wanted me to demonstrate resilience or what I learned from the experience in almost all answers even though most of the questions did not relate to that).

I'm still waiting on feedback for another firm, so I can update this when I receive that!

EDIT: Got feedback from the other firm and I scored 13/15 on the telephone interview but they still said that didn't meet the minimum requirement in order to be invited to the AC. Kind of strange considering my friend said last year their minimum was 13. I didn't get any specific feedback about my answers though.

Probably not the best forum to use where this is law focused. I would recommend asking on Wikijobs or The Student Room.

It probably was better - I have a feeling they had very very few spaces if any - so maybe just re-submit with a few changes?
Yeah I mean I don’t have any legal work experience so wasn’t expecting an offer but would’ve liked to get to the AC but thanks for the encouragement! Learnt you can’t take things too personally in this process :)
