Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

[KateWilson]

I'm in the same boat! Sent my app off in January and haven't heard since apart from the 'keep tight' email...

I send them an email asking about it, will let you know the outcome

Thank you, that would be super helpful! I'd simply written them off as a silent PFO at this point

Still haven’t heard back from HSF since passing the test in early January. Is there any chance of a positive outcome or surely this must be a silent PFO?

Rejection from Bird & Bird post-AC. A bit gutted but felt I gave a good account of myself and prepared well so one of those things I guess... hopefully, the feedback call will be beneficial. Fingers crossed get positive news from Weil!

Sorry to hear that Daniel - onwards and upwards! Hoping for good news for you from Weil

Has anyone done a Goodwin Procter interview? Have one coming up in March.

I was wondering, when did you send your application in please?

I'm sorry to hear this! Always remember that the firm you finally get will want you as much as you want them That's how I'm trying to look at it anyway.. Best of luck for Weil!

From my own personal experience HSF certainly take their time. I know someone who is in the same boat as you. I wouldn't take it as a PFO just yet.

Received an AC invite from Ropes & Gray but not a huge amount of information available on it -- anyone been to one of their ACs?

Has anyone gone through the Mishcon video interview? A friend is going through her first VI and any insight into what the VI looks like would be greatly appreciated!

Excited to say i've been invited to an ac at BCLP! It's my first ever ac!

The email just says:

'A drafting exercise, a business style role play, a group negotiation and a competency based interview with a member of HR or an Associate'.

Any guidance from someone who has completed at ac with them before would be really amazing

Well done!!

Really sorry to hear this Daniel but you have the most wonderful attitude towards these things and your feedback will help! I know how much you like Weil and I really believe that firms can tell when a candidate is dedicated to them!! This is all fantastic experience for you and I have everything crossed for you with Weil too!!

Sherman rejection after they've filled all their places on the schemes. Got the same message as last year: we liked your application so apply next year. Ah well!

Although not quite a training contract yet, I'm happy to say I have a summer vacation scheme place with Simmons & Simmons. Thank you to everyone that's offered support or tips or answers to my questions. I hope from here it will be only onwards and upwards, for me and everyone else still working hard to get where they want to be. I'd be happy to share my tips in general or for Simmons assessment centres too

Congratulations!! Well done

 

[Hazal]

has anyone heard anything from HSF? Just wondering whether people are still waiting to do interviews or ACs?

 

[Ben Littlewood]

Anybody else still got no word from TS this week?

Has anyone completed a Ropes & Gray AC recently/in the past? (Asking for a friend), it is his last chance to secure a VS so any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated
