same question I haveHow long after their online assessment did Fieldfisher get back for a phone interview/rejection?
I did my test last week and got a confirmation right away that they got it and then yesterday I got an email saying “Anyone else not heard from Fieldfisher following the online assessment?
I never attended their workshop and I was successful last year post-application review - try not to overthink it!Does anyone have any advice for the Freshfields 850 word TC application? Will I be at a significant disadvantage having not attended their workshop day?
You don’t need to put what you have done into this question. You just need to summarise what a commercial lawyer does in your own words. They are assessing your knowledge of the job and your drafting skills for this question - not what you have done in the past@Jessica Booker Please may you answer a quick question I have regarding an application question?
It states "In 250 words, tell us what a commercial lawyer does". Should I use a virtual internship I have completed as an example so I can link the question to my insight to work a commercial lawyer does? Or should I discuss more generally what a lawyer at that firm may do depending on the practice area they work in? Thank you.
I’m assuming this is for the London office? I’ve just been able to submit my app for the Manchester office.Went to apply for Fieldfisher and I see their deadline is 6 January 2024; however, it says applications are closed.
I presume they fill spaces on a rolling basis and no longer feel the need to keep the application window open and this isn't an error?
is this for HL by any chance?Any advice on what to put on an "anything else you want to tell us when considering your application?" non-compulsory question? Should I leave it blank? Is this just for any academic concessions or should I put extra details about myself?
Yeah, I was just having a look. Some other firms specify what this is for (normally if you had any mitigating circumstances at Uni), but they haven't specified, so I didn't want to assume and leave it blank without checking.is this for HL by any chance?
For my application (and it got through to interview) I put down specifically why commercial law + why Hogan lovells as well as some detail about my personal engagement with the firm to make it more personalised!Yeah, I was just having a look.

It is fine to use an example from the work experience - I would just not describe the skill on the work experience entry and focus more on how the skill was developed in the application question to make sure there isn’t really much duplication of content.I was wondering whether grad rec finds it annoying if I detail a work experience to demonstrate a skill in a question when it has already been mentioned in the work experience section?
Thank you so much, Jessica!It is fine to use an example from the work experience - I would just not describe the skill on the work experience entry and focus more on how the skill was developed in the application question to make sure there isn’t really much duplication of content.
