was it the window before the current direct tc window which is open till the 31st jan?
Yeah - I, along with a large number of other people, never heard back. Has anyone been given a WG test who applied for the current window?
So I applied back in June 2023. Didn't then get a WG test until August which I duly submitted. No outcome has since been communicated to me and I have not sent another application to HL since
I eventually got a pfo in late October. I’m not sure if you could still be on hold, but when I spoke to grad rec at a uni event they said something like 2 people were recruited in that window and that it was really competitive.
Ok, that's interesting to know that you did hear back. The low numbers that they recruited aren't surprising I guess...do people think I should follow this up with them?
I guess there’s no harm in checking, I emailed on 6/10 to ask whether I could apply for the winter vac scheme as I hadn’t heard back and didn’t get a reply. But I got the rejection on 31/10, so maybe that was their response
Today I received a WG for the HL summer scheme.
I attended one of the workshops last week and they said they received more applications than ever for it. To the point where they could only offer 1 in 4 applicants.
I would recommend applying definitely.
Hi all, if anyone has the CC video interview, do they know what is meant by the first question? Strange how its referring to region and not sure how someone would be able to answer that one:
Question 1: What have you done to learn about Clifford Chance in the region, and why do you want to be a Clifford Chance lawyer in particular in the region?
Question 1: What have you done to learn about Clifford Chance in the region, and why do you want to be a Clifford Chance lawyer in particular in the region?
I’m not doing the CC VI
But maybe region as location? So why do you want to work at CC in London rather than a different location.
Chatgpt also agreed with me 🤣
I submitted mine closer to the deadline but I've been reading posts of people who have submitted it wayyy before and haven't heard back yet! how long is it appropriate to wait before contacting GR?
Could anyone explain this question from Linklaters?
Please provide details of any Linklaters-supported insight weeks, development programmes or other initiatives that you are affiliated with (for example City Solicitors Horizons, Pathways to Law, Pathfinder etc).
They also ask us to select minimum one so does this mean that we cannot apply if we aren't affiliated with any of these initiatives? What exactly do they mean with affiliated?
In this case, would legal cheek count as I have attended their law fairs where Linklaters was present?

Some rolling firms say that your application may be "overlooked if you apply too close to the deadline" as slots may be filled - when is "too close" and therefore not worth it to apply anymore?
anyone else who applied to cms direct tc on the deadline day yet to receive the wg?
