Just hear that I've been invited to Addleshaw Goddard's AC (it went to my junk folder so everyone else who's waiting to here, have a look in there!). I'm super excited as it's my first AC! Does anyone have any tips/advice of how best to prepare?
Do you guys think its worth sending my application to Reed Smith considering they recruit on a rolling basis? The deadline is the 31st but I don't think I've seen many people being interviewed yet, but not sure if it is too late to apply now.
Congratulations!! Best of luck
Do you mind if I ask when you applied? Its been two weeks since I sent my app off and I have yet to hear from themI just logged on Addleshaw's website and had an AC invite. I didn't get an email so I would log on to see what it says!
I was informed a week before my upcoming assessment centre so I had some notice. But I'd mentally prepare for short notice just in case.
Congratulations!! Best of luck
Would also like to know the response to this?

Also just received a rejection from Dentons, does anyone know their benchmark? So gutted as I was confident all my answers were correct!
Sorry to hear that!

Reallyreally sorry to hear that! Not sure of the benchmark, but I was offered an interview with Dentons HR just before Christmas so it might be down to most of the spaces being filled up?
Never too late in my opinion. There are quite a few examples from users on here sending it minutes before deadline and being invited to interview/AC

Hey sorry about the rejection ! I think there benchmark is quite high ! Can I just ask when you completed the WG I’m still waiting to hear back.. did you actually receive a rejection on a Saturday thought the weekend was a safe haven??

Hi! I had one over the summer for a direct TC, so I'm not sure it will be the exact same but on top of my head it was essentially:
1) "why White&Case",
2) "why are you a good fit for the firm" (or something along those lines, also maybe one of those two may have been a practice question actually)
3) name/explain a challenge the legal industry is currently faced with
4) a time you had to show determination/resilience (don't remember exactly which of the two adjectives it was sorry)
I think either 1) or 2) was the practice question actually cause I remember there being only 3 real ones!
hope it helps
Sorry to bother you again, but were there only 3 questions? I am always used to 5 or 6 questions during a video interview? Let me know when you have a minute
