Yeah that.Do you mind me asking what this is for? I applied for their Legal Assistant (Paralegal) role for the London office back in March, did some online test and then heard nothing for months. I emailed in June asking when they'd get back to me and they said they'll only review my app when there's an opening and will contact me then - but still haven't heard anything.
Hey,This happened to me and I did find it difficult. I'm sure you put a lot of work into both your job and your application so I know it can feel like a kick in the stomach! I would take some time to focus on something other than the thought of a TC, like a holiday etc - its can be a lot to go through mentally so some time for yourself can really help.
Once you've had a bit of a break, I would write down all the great things you achieved as an internal candidate to remind yourself that you are a fantastic candidate, and be specific - firms that you apply for in future will see this and it will boost your application. Make a few notes on the feedback you received and how you can work on it - I would recommend speaking to your supervisor to get their thoughts too. I would also start to pull together a list of firms that you can aim to apply for this year to give yourself a new focus, especially as its almost the start of the new cycle so its a perfect time for a fresh start.
Also - are you able to re-apply to the firm you are currently at? If you have the option but you don't feel like it right now, I would take some time to consider and speak to your supervisor, because in re-applying in the next cycle you can apply what you learnt from this time round and have a stronger chance.
It can feel like a punch to the gut being rejected as an internal candidate but remember its not personal and so often comes down to a numbers game - if you're already working for them then you are definitely worthy of getting a TC with a great firm wherever that may be.
Thanks - good luck!Yeah that.
I put more offices in though and mine is for Leeds.
Hey,
Thank you for responding back to me. I do feel quite low but I’ll start noting my achievements down (truthfully my job is quite niche and I don’t quite know what achievements there are). I’ll speak to my supervisor once she returns back from her holidays. I can apply to this firm, the applications open next year though like in March or April.
It’s just I don’t understand, there’s people straight from undergrad or those with minimal experience getting a TC and don’t misunderstand me, I’m genuinely ecstatic for them, but I’m wondering what’s wrong with me if I do have experience
We don’t know the questions yet do we? So not prepping rn…Hi guys, just wondering how are people going about prepping for the Paul, Weiss application considering there’s not much on chambers/legal cheek/legal 500 etc? @Jessica Booker
Congrats! When did you receive the AC invite? Haven't heard anything yet....Anyone with any insights into Denton’s AC, I would really appreciate it
It’s not exactly a mystery as to what they will be 😂We don’t know the questions yet do we? So not prepping rn…
Definitely - you’ve got to be in it to win it!Hi guys, just wondering how are people going about prepping for the Paul, Weiss application considering there’s not much on chambers/legal cheek/legal 500 etc? @Jessica Booker
idk some firms have really rogue questions and some don’t even ask “why X firm” or something to that point, unless I’m missing something and we specifically know what PW are likely to ask for a certain reasonIt’s not exactly a mystery as to what they will be 😂
