DAC Beachcroft PFO. Hardest rejection by far. I'm not even sure this solicitor thing is possible for me anymore.
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
they said friday 5th/monday 8th at the ACanyone else waiting to hear back from Harbottle & Lewis post AC?
The test isn’t automatic, they review applications firstGot a PFO before I even did an online test with Baker Mckenzie!!!
Anyone know if there was some criteria that I missed?
There is no harm in doing so. I know there have been some changes with their Grad Rec team recently, so it maybe that there are delays because of that.@Jessica Booker do you think it's worth emailing Hogan Lovells to ask for an update if I applied for their direct TC back in December 2023, with the application deadline being at the end of January 2024?
Still a very fast responseThe test isn’t automatic, they review applications first
31/3Hey - can peeps who got PFO from Baker McKenzie TC, react or reply to this thread on which dates? They applied?
Not necessarily - it will be for some firms that pay very close attention to these things, but could possibly even be missed by other firms.Hey - can peeps who got PFO from Baker McKenzie TC, react or reply to this thread on which dates? They applied?
Somewhere around mid febHey - can peeps who got PFO from Baker McKenzie TC, react or reply to this thread on which dates? They applied?
I normally take the approach in VS apps that I want to learn more about the firm and want the opportunity to see key areas the firm is good at. For direct TC's I try to present myself as a more finished article, I know why I want to work at the firm and why I will be a good lawyer for them. Sometimes I think it is easier to write TC apps than VS apps.Anyone have any advice on how to go about a direct TC application as opposed to a Vac Scheme App?
