Am I the only one who is not hearing back from Reed Smith, Mayer and Links after completing the tests?
The only thing I've heard from Reed Smith so far is that my application is still under review and they'll be in touch closer to the app deadline, which is the 10th of December.
Does anyone know, because the Clifford Chance website says that 2024 TC is typically for final year non-law students and penultimate law students, if I am a master's student studying part-time (graduating in 2023), will I be eligible for the 2024 TC as well?
May I ask when you completed the WG and what office you applied for? Thank you
Check your spam. You should get the report straight after completing the test.
I completed mine on the 6th and got an email today. I got no confirmation email after I did the test and no report. The email I got today just said I reached the benchmark and my application is now under review.
Give them a few days and don't worry too much. Someone told me they got their result 4 days after they did the test. ☺️
Just received a pfo from HSF for their spring scheme - I’d met the benchmark for the test so I’m assuming it must be based off of my application 🥲
Hey - I think this application question seems to throw people off the most (especially as this is their only question, or it was when I applied!). I did the summer vacation scheme with the firm in 2020, and to help with this I would suggest:
1) any news about business - but something relevant. By that I mean something that you are interested in (and can show that interest) and something that is relevant to the job role that you are applying to (what is the impact of this story? how will it affect the firm? your career? the future legal market?)
2) for my answer I gave a brief synopsis of the story (aka a headline - 2 or 3 sentences). Then I explained why I was interested in the story giving 2 reasons and linking this to both my experience and the firm. My news story directly impacted the firm as it was taking place in a country where the firm was advising the government, which I included.
This is what worked for me, but I think they are much more interested in how you explain your interest in the story, and what you took from the news, rather than your ability to explain the story itself.
Hi guys. Bit of a niche question but I feel so much more confident with a beard! Would most firms care if on a video interview I had a beard or is it a clean shaven only kind of deal?
Hi guys! Just wondering if anyone knows when the exact deadline for Linklaters' Summer VS? It says 10th December on the website but does not specify if it's 00:00 or 23:59.....
Just asking because I'm in the middle of exam season atm and would really prefer to do the assessment after my exam on the 10th! Thanks!!
