Still waiting for Links as well, don't know if it is necessary to send another email to ask for the updateThe fact that I havent got a rejection from Links... may represent some possibility for me to be invited to the AC?
They have some AC's this week, so you may hear after thisThe fact that I havent got a rejection from Links... may represent some possibility for me to be invited to the AC?
Hi! I applied really early I can’t remember the exact date but I think it was 2nd December. I didn’t hear anything at all until today!Sorry to hear it! I keep telling myself it all happens for a reason - it helps somewhat!
Do you mind if I ask when you applied? Did you hear back post app?
Best of luck phoebe!Been invited to Irwin Mitchell BLS AC after what I thought was a pretty shocking VI
Thanks!! What would be the best way to tie the points together so that it sounds concise and not like I'm rambling ??I would avoid that approach. Have three reasons, just don't say "firstly, secondly" etc. Make it sound organic! This will be much more convincing.

Dechert and Akin Gump rejections this morning, got Links rejection last Friday afternoon too
Just thought I'd ask if this seems like a generic rejection from Akin Gump as I applied on the deadline (e.g. I know Daniel had his AC before the application deadline) and it suggests they would look at a TC application from me earlier.

I've got a general interview question..
When you're asked 'Why our firm?' does it sound rehearsed if I structure it by saying 'firstly, secondly, finally'? What's the best way to make it sound natural and not rehearsed?
I think this would be okay if you link it to productivity of work rather than specifically having more free time.I have a question relating to a VI. If I am asked what differentiates us from our competitors, is it okay to talk about billable hours? The firm has significantly less billable targets than its competitors so could demonstrate greater work life balance - or does this sound lazy of me? I would have already talked about the work and the firm's reputation though. Does anyone have any advice / tips?
Hey congrats! I was wondering how long it took for you to hear back from them? I've only done their first stage interview early Feb and not heard back yet!Withers VS offer! Anyone have any tips for it? Still seems quite hard to convert into a TC!
I have a question regarding contact grad recruitment post interview.
I attended an interview over 2 weeks ago. At the time they said they would respond within a week, and told me to contact them if I had not heard by the end of last week. I did so on Thursday and they said they would provide me with an update immediately. The delay in response I gather is something to do with an issue/discrepency in my application form (which I contested but they need to make a decision on).
4 days have passed since I called them, and I still do not have any more information. This presents a bit of an issue as I have a current vacation scheme offer which clashes with theirs, amongst some interviews for schemes in the next week - which again clash with their one. I need to know soon whether they have rejected me or not.
I don't wish to continually press for an answer, but feel it is kind of necessary. Is it acceptable to call them again?
Thanks!

While I don't want to take business away from Jaysen (and a fine job he does with reviews as well), if you would like some feedback on an application either of you has submitted, I'd be more than willing to spend some time to do it. I've had a moderate amount of success this cycle (7 or 9 apps passed the sift) so I feel I have a good understanding of what makes a 'good' application (I credit Jaysen for this).
