cleary AC! does anyone have any tips 😭

 

[Harrison.jm]

Anyone have tips on how to answer the interview question like "what other firms have you applied to?"

This is to see whether you are being strategic in your apps. Be really careful because if you are in an interview for a PE-focused firm, for example, and you say you have applied for HSF, you will have to justify what the commonality is between the two. Be prepared for that!

Has anyone heard back from Addleshaw Goddard (Leeds office)?

All this waiting is driving me nuts...I keep stopping what I'm doing to check my emails

VI for addleshaw goddard! really happy but in a bit of a dilemma as i am mid exam season. to do the interview well, i would have to take two days out and hence squander my exams. i have an AC coming up after my exams so not sure if i should just focus on that. as i know that the degree is ultimately the priority. difficult one!

would be a much easier decision if all of my firms had replied to me

What scheme and office is this please? 😊

This was me - I just had to put the phone on charge in another room as I found I don't really check my emails that much when I am on my laptop.

Omg congrats 😁 do you mind if I ask when you applied?

I wasn’t told anything or emailed at all, was it for the vacation scheme/Training Contract or just training contract? Is it normal to not hear anything back at all?
