Has anyone received an interview invite this week for Shearman WVS? I'm still waiting for a response but I'm not sure whether they're still giving our interviews.

Just wondering but could a (lack of) thank you email to a partner ever decide a choice a between candidates? I know when I was applying for IB it was standard to send one (and I often got responses/feedback), but I know it's not the norm for law firms from responses I've seen here.

Don't want it to look pushy/strange either

@Jessica Booker
Absolutely not. It will not influence the decision on your candidacy either way

The only time I have seen it cause a problem was when someone sent a long, apologetic and detailed email that went on about all the answers they would have given in the interview, which showed a complete lack of self-awareness.

Hi guys, I have an interview coming up tomorrow however am recovering from a pretty bad illness and am worried this may impact my performance. Do I flag this to the interviewer beforehand?

I'd call grad rec today and let them know as well- maybe they can reschedule it? If not, letting them know either way is good so that they have this information on hand. And do let your interviewer know too in case the interview goes ahead as planned. I hope you feel better soon🤞
