Has anyone heard from A&O for their Sept 24/ March 25 TC intake? or freshfields for WG?
Ive had radio silence

For the Dentons question about overcoming a challenge, does my example need to include an unexpected obstacle or hurdle? Would it be enough to simply explain specifically why achieving a certain goal was difficult/challenging for me? I'm unsure whether to go down the route of dealing with a problem or achieving a goal.

You could combine the two and talk about achieving a goal and the obstacles/problems you faced whilst achieving that goal

I’ve not heard anything from freshfields, my portal hasn’t been updated since I applied

 

[tc_hopeful]

Hi! Does anyone know if we're allowed to reapply again to Hogan Lovells in June / July if we're unsuccessful post-application in January?

I don't want to submit an application now if I could submit it in June/July when my application could potentially be stronger then (but wouldn't mind just submitting one now if I could just reapply)

has any 2023 cc candidates heard back post-AC?

 

[Vacationschemeapps]

Heyy when do Freshfields/links get back to direct tc applicants?

Nothing yet, when did you do the test? Also which location did you apply for?

I did the test 15th Jan and for Manchester, what about you? Also, did you apply to the tc for March 2022?

I did it on 16th, Manchester too. Yeah 2022 also. Hopefully we hear something next week 😌

Did anyone apply to the Linklaters Middle East- London TC, I passed the first stage of the Arabic test and will be taking the three-hour one soon and I am kinda nervous. If anyone has done a similar test or is in this application cycle, please PM me :')

Hi, I'm new here!

I saw a few posts above about the 2022 March Browne Jacobson TC. I got an email on the 20th (Thursday) inviting me to book a telephone interview on Monday/Tuesday. But that wasn't for Manchester office, so I hope you get the telephone invitation very soon too! So glad to finally have some progression after countless generic rejections at the first stage.

Thank you, that's so reassuring. What office did you apply for if you don't mind me asking?

Exeter.

I'm based in the South-West, and it's the only office that's at all commutable from where I live now. Otherwise, given the AC days would be on 4th, 7th, 10th February (from what they've told me), and then any final decision being made, there would hardly be any time to move my whole life to another city in time for the March start date!

It's only meant to be a 15 minute phone call, so hoping that I can hold it together and not mess up!

Good luck again to you with your application!

I had an email for a telelphone interview on Friday with interview spaces available to end of day Wed when I booked. My application was for Birmingham so possibly going by office since you received your invite Thurs for Exeter and mine was Friday for Birmingham?

Does anyone know if WG invites for Freshfields are automatic? I applied for their TC on the 14th Dec but I haven't heard anything from them.

They review applications before sending the WG😁
