    to be clear, i was not expecting anything from linklaters having been unceremoniously rejected post-app for two years now...but I do question the process slightly. I asked for my WG score post-rejection only to learn that it was 99th percentile.

    for a recruitment system that places almost all its emphasis on psychometric testing (bar 3 work experience questions), one may think that getting a decent WG score may improve your chances even an iota...

    is this an incorrect assumption? I suppose capp assessments would tell me it is...

    Back down you go, candidate; you may be able to recognise assumptions, but that's not really how things work is it, old boy
    I think its Capp, grades and then WG, not sure but it's really stupid, I think I did well in both so I like to believe its my grades

    Linklaters pfo as well. :(
    I haven’t managed to secure a vacation scheme for this year. Is there anything I can do in the summer to get experience? Is it worth emailing some smaller firms for experience or should I do some online virtual experiences?
    I was in the same position last year. I managed to get on two insight programmes, did some online virtual internships and also did an internship in a completely different field (which still offered great professional experience)
