Yup. Hey, seeing how Clifford Chance's complicated procedure is going right now, Linklaters app feels like heaven ngl

Ahhh I got resilience and excellence (and the Resource and Work management as my worst loool)

Resource and work management was my worst, and resilience was one of my best and I've just finished the winter vacation scheme at Linklaters!!! Best of luck to you both, and if you progress, send me a message!!

Our TC interviews are happening in January, so still got a wait to found out. But overall, the scheme was absolutely incredible, Linklaters are superb and they have put on a great virtual scheme. A real highlight being the Hotel Chocolat chocolate tasting they organised for us!!!

Ahahahah excellent - how did they manage to achieve that?

 

[Moe]

I don't really get how that can be a weakness considering most of us are juggling degrees, applications, extra curricular and, in my case, a part-time job ahahhah

Guessing that you will always have a weakness in this test. I feel like Resource and Work management is the price we pay for the strengths we received, but I'm sure that they will carry a balancing exercise between those values.

I am actually so curious as to how they decide between applicants through this CAPP and WG. As seen earlier in this thread, you can get 38/40 and still get rejected. Any idea?

 

[Celestie]

Lool just about that - just got my PFO ahahha

Aw sorry to hear that! Was this for a direct TC or a VS?

I’ve heard that they prioritise CAPP Assessment results over the WG - but then again, I could be wrong. This is what I’ve heard from most people though

 

[Celestie]

Still on hold - I am kinda expecting a PFO as I dunno if I am their cuppa tea.

I think I can tell the future? Is this a skill I can add to my CV??

May I ask when you applied?

Oh man, so sorry to hear that! Oh well! I'm sure you had your eyes on other firms too . What do you think led to this outcome? You seem to have predicted it so well..?!

 

[Legal_rawn]

For the CAPP test I expect they have a lot more information about an individuals performance than we, as applicants, see in that report. It most likely isn’t as simple as certain highest attributes get an AC, otherwise people would quickly work out which one they needed to get and not answer honestly. This is just my opinion so obviously I could be wrong but as someone who has made it to an AC and also not made it to an AC I expect it probably is the case. Just to put anyone’s mind at rest if they didn’t get the attributes they thought they needed!

 

[Moe]

Well, anybody else still awaiting a response?

 

[cymrawd]

Hey guys, so is everybody who’s applied for the summer vac scheme still awaiting a response?

I'm still waiting!

 

[syw]

Anyone who applied for direct TC still waiting to hear anything?

 

[HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh]

Anyone who applied for direct TC still waiting to hear anything?

I applied direct TC, not heard anything yet

 

[Zaynah]

I didn’t hear anything from Linklaters until late Jan/ early Feb when I applied for the summer vac scheme last year. I’m assuming it’ll probably be the same this year.

 

[Lucinda]

I applied to the Spring vac scheme but application still says 'on hold' (changed to this after I completed the WG) has anyone who applied to the spring vac heard anything?
