Has anyone received either an AC or rejection from bird & bird post-VI?
That's a straight up uni essay. I do think some HR/recruitment teams get carried away and forget to have basic respect for applicants' time.The Farrer & Co first stage application requiring a total of 1850 words is a bit much😭
Especially for Farrer, it doesn't make sense. Why ask for a 350 word cover letter then make you answer seperate questions about transferable skills, extracurriculars, positions of responsibility and why Farrer, each being 300 words?? That's basically the four parts of a cover letter 😭That's a straight up uni essay. I do think some HR/recruitment teams get carried away and forget to have basic respect for applicants' time.
Thank you! How much time were you given to complete it? I'm worried based on when I have applied it will fall over Christmas :/4 or 5 days. They told me it can take up to 10 days.
It is untimed, so you can complete it at your own pace. You must also complete it within 7 days of receiving the email.Thank you! How much time were you given to complete it? I'm worried based on when I have applied it will fall over Christmas :/
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.Yes! Absolutely! There were firms that I didn't get to meet in any significant way during legal fairs or events, but who I nevertheless researched thoroughly before applying. That research really came out in my written applications and got me through to the next stage. If you can show that you've researched the firm and convincingly demonstrate your interest in them, it's worth applying!
Hey, we were at the same open day I had my travel costs come in on 2nd December, so maybe it's worth sending a nudge?Has anyone heard back from W&C on their travel costs being reimbursed? I attended an open day on 14 Nov, and was wondering when is an appropriate time to send a gentle reminder on it?
Hey! I did the DLA fast track AC (I did the insight scheme) for SVS a month ago and we were all assessed in Manchester, regardless of office.Hello! I just received an AC invite for DLA Piper but it’s in Manchester? As far as I remember I applied for the London office — I’m so confused since, apart from the location of the AC, they do not mention which office I’m applying to anywhere. Has anyone received an invite with similar information or has any insight into this?
The invitation email said 'You will be notified whether you have reached the assessment centre stage in January', so I'm not expecting anything yet - once January hits though will be v nervous!Anyone heard from Taylor Wessing post games assessment?
Oh oops my bad, thanks! Yes for sure...The invitation email said 'You will be notified whether you have reached the assessment centre stage in January', so I'm not expecting anything yet - once January hits though will be v nervous!
Same lol. Though for some reason, I'm not mad about it. I guess my heart was never really in it.PFO from NRF 😤
Did you apply for the vacation scheme? I only received an automated feedback report and a message that my results are being reviewed, but no mention of WG percentile.I got 21st percentile for Linklaters WG. Am I out of the running? Funny thing is I got 75th percentile for CC TC and passed. So strange how this test is.
