Did anyone else get a PFO from Trowers post-app today with an offer of a feedback call? Surprisingly nice gesture??
Mayer Brown PFO today (post application) but also got an invite to Gibson Dunn first stage interview! Any advice would be amazing, not sure what to expect!
Personally I would not worry too much about facing these questions, although the interviewers could ask you them in theory - I don't see why they would be considered inappropriate. I think it is unlikely you will get asked them but if you know the answers then it sounds like you are prepared anywayHey everyone, bit of a unique question today - I have a CV based interview coming up and I wrote down that I run a small business. Could the law firm ask me questions like "what is your annual turnover, profit margins, how much you pay your employees/in tax" like really dragon den style questions to test my commercial awareness or are questions like these construed as inappropriate?
I would definitely do it! I know people who got a direct TC without a vac scheme and 0 years work experience (legal or non-legal)Anyone thought of bothering to apply for direct TC without a vac scheme but 3/4 years paralegal experience?
Are they not usually?! 😂Well, sometimes people surprise me. I spoke with someone who works at Macfarlanes and they were incredibly nice!
Absolutely would do (and will be doing) that yes.Anyone thought of bothering to apply for direct TC without a vac scheme but 3/4 years paralegal experience?
I'm doing mine in the spring too! Pop me a message if you'd like to connectTLT Bristol Vac scheme offer too!! Are you doing yours in spring as well? Congrats!! 😄
Hi! I can't confirm as I haven't had mine yet, however from what I gather from others there is no interview. Check your TopScore, as I believe it sets out the running order and plan for the AC and mine doesn't include time for an interview! Hope this helps and best of luck, you will do greatHi there,
I have my Osborne Clarke AC very shortly. Can anyone confirm whether it will include an interview or whether it will just be WG's and commerical tasks?
Thanks in advance!
I've seen people mention they have AC invites from a couple weeks back so I have assumed PFO by this pointAnyone else still waiting for Akin Gump post WG?
Besides choosing what you’re interested in, I guess I’d say try to do a seat in both a transactional and a contentious seat (if both are an option) - try out the best of both worlds!Does anyone have any advice on choosing vac scheme departments? I will of course choose what I find interesting and want to experience, but can anyone give any further recommendations?
