Ah ha I finished doing the Ashurst online assessments. The maths related ones and the proofreading one are a nightmare. I finally understood why you guys said it's for mathematicians! Oh well... onwards and upwards~

The numbubbles and tally-up one were very tricky! I didn’t mind the proofreading one. How did you find the matching faces one? HAHA

Are you still waiting to hear back from HSF?

Yep! I've not heard anything from quite a few.

Hello I've just signed up as a new member and for someone in the midst of vac scheme application madness, it's been reassuring reading about all your experiences! I have a video interview coming up for CMS and am wondering if anyone can share some advice? Thanks.

Has anyone heard from Freshfields today?

 

[Jessica Booker]

You can tell it’s peak application/interview/assessment centre decision time - this thread is super busy!!

omg you know what, I found the faces one to be harder than I imagined it would be?! There were some where I had to really think about how someone else would react and then I could even make out a few faces like ... is that angry or sad or ??

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone had got to the research question stage for Reed Smith? Is this the final stage before interview?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, yeah I have. I believe it is the last stage before AC.

I emailed them last week and they said we'll hear back in a few weeks. That's for the direct TC though.

Hi,
I just recieved research questions to complete, post Reed Smith SJT. However, I have exams going on and I really want to perform well in the research questions. Would it harm my prospects if I email them about this and request them if I can submit the answers after my exams ?

No, I still haven't heard anything !

Summer rejection from Reed Smith, it's a little upsetting but I'm not too bummed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It was one of my earlier and weaker applications, I don't think I personalised it or tailored it to the firm enough

Really glad for those of you who've gotten good news today though! Here's to hoping for more good news!

 

[W]

No, I still haven't heard anything !

Same the silence is frustrating lol!
