Anyone else heard anything further from Browne Jacobson?

They're doing interviews this week and letting candidates know early next week whether they'll be invited to the ACs.

I did my phone interview today and all looking positive!

Can I ask which office you was from? Just want to know if any of the Manchester people have heard back yet

Exeter. I could only book my interview for today or tomorrow (Mon or Tues), whilst others have said for another office they could book theirs later in the week, so it does appear they are staggered.

Hey well done on the interview! I have mine on Wednesday, what kind of questions did they ask you if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi all, I just received an AC invite at Linklaters. It says that the AC will involve a case study and two interviews (one by recruitment and one by managing assoc & partner). I would appreciate any advice from people who have done AC at links before, in terms of what to expect in the two interviews, and how to best prepare.

Thanks in advance!

Hey congrats! Is this direct TC? When did you hear back

Hey congrats! Is this direct TC? When did you hear back

Yeah direct tc. They emailed this morning!

 

[nisadee]

Yeah direct tc. They emailed this morning!

Hey! Congrats! Just wondering, do you have previous legal experience? I didn't apply for their direct TC because I've only done one vac scheme and it was held virtually so I didn't think I'd be qualified enough for the direct TC route..

Thank you! I also do not have much legal experience - I only did one BigLaw vac scheme previously. So I don't think that a lack of legal experience is a deal breaker per se, but its probably is one of the factors that they'll take into account?

 

[Vacationschemeapps]

Yeah direct tc. They emailed this morning!

Amazing! Does linklaters send AC invites in batches or should everyone who didn't get assume PFOs?

Congratulations! Is this for TC? If yes, when did you submit your app

Thanks! Yes, it's for the 2024 TC. I applied around 4 December.

 

[John Travoni]

Thanks! Yes, it's for the 2024 TC. I applied around 4 December.

It looks like I’m not gonna hear back anytime soon. I applied like 2 days before the deadline 🙂
