For people who have received Freshfield TCs today - congrats! When were your ACs?

Have the people who received Freshfields TC offers had any further information beyond a phone call (ie an email)? I’m starting to get worried that I imagined it…

If you genuinely think you've imagined it (I've done this before...), check your call log. If your call log includes their number, then hopefully this can calm some anxiety!! But 100% have thought I'd imagined an offer before haha

Does anyone have experience with the Lewis Silkin pre-selection exercises? I would really appreciate any help you can give on structure, etc!

Thank you! I definitely received a phone call from a random mobile number, but I'm pretty sure I blacked out with relief. So what they actually told me I'm not so sure...

Still waiting for Freshfields PFO

Still waiting 🥴 getting a bit rude now to ghost candidates for so long

sorry no idea on that front, but since ACs are still ongoing i'd assume so

they replied with a rejection 2 hours after I followed up on my AC (this after a month of waiting for a response)

Anyone else struggling with motivation to write direct TC apps because you prefer the firms that you have upcoming vac schemes with?

Say it louder!!

Has anyone heard back from Freshfields today post-AC?

 

[mome101]

Is there anyone who still hasn’t heard back from Hogan for direct TC? Just like this post in case

Hey everyone, hope you are all well!

I had a quick question about applications. I have a couple of TC apps under review at the moment. I completed the work experience section a couple of months ago, however since then I have started work as a paralegal and hence I did not include this in the work experience section on these applications.

Should I inform graduate recruitment of my employment or would this be unnecessary?

Thanks
