Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
You’d probably call rather than email. An email you never know when it will be read. A phone call may intercept the email before it is read.
Have actually heard of this happening. Trainee survived by taking ownership and immediately alerting the associates, who were able to tell the opposing side to immediately delete the email. Aside from that major boo-boo he was apparently a really competent trainee so everyone has moved on from it.
These things don’t have to so binary as a yes or no answer. For instance could you try and influence the client to become more sustainable in the long term?
Ahhh can’t wait for him to pop up in a meeting haha!
I’d personally attempt one last time via writing and make some insinuation that although you don’t want to explore having to receive feedback via a subject access request, that given the time since the assessment if you haven’t received the feedback within another 4 weeks, you would need to take this more formal approach. That should kick them up the backside as a SAR is far more time consuming than just giving you the feedback.Hi, I attended an assessment centre at BCLP in the middle of August. I was unfortunately unsuccessful, but asked for feedback shortly afterwards. I received no response so 3 weeks later (mid September), I sent another polite email requesting feedback again. I received an automatic email informing me I would receive a response within 5 working days...I never did. A week ago I called BCLP, and a lady from HR said she could not deal with the matter, and so I had to leave an answer phone message, but I have still heard nothing in response. Given I reached the final stage of assessment I would really value some feedback (especially given I completed a vac scheme with another firm this last summer and they gave me the feedback for a different participant, including their project!!), and with the new recruitment cycle upon us any constructive criticism would be most welcome.
I have noticed that they have changed the length of time for receiving feedback on their website since I telephoned them. It now states that feedback can take up to 2 months during a busy period, but it has now been longer that 2 months since I first requested it.
Does anyone know what my next steps should be? The firm's website states that they give feedback, and from reading other threads I know other TCLAers have received it. Not sure if this is more an area for @Jessica Booker , but any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Thank you very much for this advice. I have found out through the forum that I am not the only candidate to whom this has happened, so I will start your suggested process straight away.
Yes - they will understand some people won’t be able to make it.Hi all, if there is a webinar hosted for future trainees at firm X and I can't attend as I will be travelling back to the UK on that day, should I send the grad rec an email explaining why I cannot attend? I think it is a firm-wide webinar, and the grad rec said it's not compulsory, but you are encouraged to join. Thank you!
A friend of mine is a future trainee there - she just had to do an informal interview at the end of the VSDoes anyone have experiences with the HSF partner presentation? i’ve read the reviews on TCLA but just a bit confused on whether they give you advice on how to lay out the presentation?
also if the assessment for a TC purely through your performance on the vac scheme or do you have a final TC interview aswell?
