Addleshaw AC! Does anyone have any advice or tips? It would be very much appreciated
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Excellent point @S87! Both are great approaches which have been tried and tested; I just think there is a slightly different cultural attitude in the US which is manifesting itself in the way US firms recruit here. I recommend candidates apply to a mixture of both UK and US firms and working out which approach seems to suit them better
It's a personal decision! If you feel well prepared and don't want to be twiddling your thumbs and getting yourself stressed out waiting for the AC then I would work in the morning to keep your mind off it. If you have any worry that working in the morning will prevent you from getting in the zone, then don't take the full day off!Do people tend to take a full day off for ACs (where the AC is only around 3 hrs)? Not sure if I should work in the morning or use those hours to get some extra rest? (Sorry for the odd question!)
Feel free to PM me!Hey all! I just received a W&C Video Interview invite. I was wondering if anybody had any advice or tips on what I should look out for? I've never passed a video interview before so I'm a bit nervous haha. Thanks in advance
Details if anyone was wondering; Applied on the 13th of December for the Summer Scheme.
I’ve got past the initial sift with a few. Not the MC but other city firms that have a particular sector strength in areas I have a clear demonstrated interest in through both my education and work history. For context I’m late 20s and graduated from undergrad a few years ago now.Are there any UK based firms that value maturity and experience?
I’ve only ever got past the initial application stage for US firms and this makes me wonder if I should just stop investing so much in UK firms.
My sense is that some UK firms focused in quite specific areas (IP, shipping, music etc) may take individuals with more maturity and experience (again my purely anecdotal experience from PGDL friends...)Are there any UK based firms that value maturity and experience?

@George Maxwell's post was so good that it needed to be linked twice 😀I think both links are for the same page - may I clarify whether it was supposed to be a different link for article-based interviews? Sorry if I've misunderstood, thank you!
Dark jeans, jumper etc. If you’d wear it laying on your couch watching a movie it’s too casual. Think business casual.If a firm were to have a 'casual Friday' or whatever during the VS, how casual is casual? Anyone have any experience of this/advice?
I've had success at 2 silver circle firms - feel free to message me if you want to discuss further. I'm an early 30s career changer.Are there any UK based firms that value maturity and experience?

try nearly 4 weeks 😫Waiting on this AC result is driving me crazy and it’s only been three days🥲
Honestly I think I’d have gone out of my mind! We were told we’d hear back by the end of Feb so I am not optimistic 🙄try nearly 4 weeks 😫
