How long does it take to hear back from Akin Gump?

Hi all,

sorry if this has already been asked - got the CC ‘your profile is of interest’ after applying for the Direct TC for 2023. What does those mean, have some Direct TC 2023 applicants already been sent the WG?

Some were sent WG last week and are apparently hearing back about whether they've been invited to ACs this week. Others (like me) were sent the 'profile of interest' email last Friday. I haven't heard anything since then. Can I ask when you received your 'profile of interest' email?

 

[F99]

Also, has anyone else who got the 'your profile is of interest' email for CC 2023 heard anything/had their portal updated since?

Work has been crazy and I haven’t had a chance to record my Irwin Mitchell VI yet 🤦🏼‍♀️

I received the email on Wednesday 1st December and it says I have to complete it within 7 calendar days. Dumb question, but is this a tomorrow (Tuesday), or Wednesday deadline?

If the deadline is tomorrow I might have to do it this evening 😅😅

It is most likely Wednesday, but to play it safe I would do it by tomorrow in a just in case basis.

I suspect we’ll hear something after they decide who to invite to AC among the people that already got the WG. 🙏🏻😊

Does anyone know how many CC are planning to recruit for 2023? I imagine it must be quite a low number?

30 the grad recruiter said this.

30 the grad recruiter said this.

I wonder if they like people they will make offers for 2024 as well

I didn’t realise the number was that low - makes me think that I should have applied for 2024!

Who knows

I think it is because that might just be for the normal TC for 2023 and not include the ignite TC.

What sort of test is the MB test? As in is it SJT? Verbal reasoning? WG?

2 tests in one essentially - SJT followed by verbal reasoning

Does the Irwin Mitchell form have no questions?

 

[Haris]

Yes! But I passed the WGT in 2019

Congrats! So just to clarify, am I correct in thinking that Clifford Chance won't ask an applicant to do a Watson Glaser Test again if they have passed it in any previous application cycle?
