Hey did you receive the AC invite? if yes, congratulations! and when did you do your VI?Anyone with any insights into Denton’s AC, I would really appreciate it
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
Has anyone applied to Eversheds Middle East TC 2026 back in June and has heard back? I emailed Grad Rec and they said they'll get back to us this week but there has not been any response so far.
@Jessica Booker How long should it have been before it is acceptable to email GR to ask them for an update for my application? The firm I’ve applied to has had offers to interviews and rejections but I haven’t heard back post application.
pls someone put me out of my misery 😭
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
Definitely speak to your supervisor and get her advice. You can go through your feedback together and figure out what you can work on for next time. Also even if your job is niche as you say, I'm sure there are plenty of interesting skills that you've gained and that you just need to extract and explain persuasively during your next application/interview. Hopefully your supervisor can help you with this.
It can be the case that firm's judge candidates by how they perform on the day, rather than taking account for the work that they've done as a paralegal at the firm. It may just be that the candidates who got it just did a bit better in the assessment tasks and interview on the day. So I would definitely consider your feedback and identify what you can do to prepare for next time. It's also worth understanding at what stages and how they take into account your experience at the firm, if at all, during the application process. Having gone through an application cycle with the firm and being an employee there, you're in a great position to build your skills and application for next time you apply! Nothing wrong with you, now you just have the opportunity to try again with more impact. You can also start planning where else you can apply before March/April - this increases your options and is good application/interview practice in any case!
I completely get the low feeling so definitely take some time to focus on other things. Trust me you will feel better, you just need to wait for some time to pass.
Right I’m confused, have people heard from Paul Hastings or not? Seems like a few people are indicating they have but no one has said outrighr
Still radio silence from AG - has anyone actually heard back since PFOs were sent last Friday, or know anyone that has heard anything?
