Has anyone not heard back from Hogan Lovells about Lift Off? Starting to feel a bit sick from the stress of not hearing back yet... Is it bad if you haven't heard by now?
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Mine's on hold too. I was told by Sam Lee(?) that they will let everyone know by January, so you have time still!I'm on hold too, but I bombed that WG. I took mine a few weeks ago.
If you do it like "Paul Hastings (PH)" it should be okay?Can we abbreviate Paul Hastings to PH in applications to them?
Hey! Yes! Got an invite. I applied the day before the deadline - Thurs (30th Nov) and finished the online test on the following Wednesday (6th Dec)Did you get invited to AC? If so, would you mind me asking when you applied?
On their website they do so I'd assume it's fine. But I agree it does feel kinda wrong using it hahaCan we abbreviate Morrison Foerster to MoFo in our applications? Just feels wrong lol
That is fine as it is something they commonly use.Can we abbreviate Morrison Foerster to MoFo in our applications? Just feels wrong lol
Is that the WG score by any chance?I was wondering the same.. Last year my application percentage was 66% and this year it says 77%? So I am not sure..
I attended an application workshop with Hogan Lovells and they said you should never be afraid of bragging (as long as it doesn't come off very obnoxious I imagine), the whole point of the application is to convey how great you are - so I think that would be fine.Bit of a random question, but I need some outside perspectives.
I am writing my answers for Hogan Lovells' SVS, and detailing some of my academic awards. I have currently written: 'I possess an excellent academic track record, achieving XX prize and the highest results in XX'. Does that come across as bragging a bit too much? Should I prefix the sentence with something like: 'I was honoured to' or 'My hard work helped me' to mitigate that risk, albeit risking waffling and taking away words from my other experiences?
Cheers in advance
Amazing, thank you so much!I attended an application workshop with Hogan Lovells and they said you should never be afraid of bragging (as long as it doesn't come off very obnoxious I imagine), the whole point of the application is to convey how great you are - so I think that would be fine.
I'm in the same boat, bud! Is it evil if I say it depends? Most of the time it's 3-5 working days. If it is as busy as it is now? A week/week and a half. I think their Winter Vac Scheme is now/has just happened so getting the TC contracts sorted, signed and done. Combine that with app reviews, organising ACs for vac schemes, etc, it's like rush hour at the Oxford Street McDonald's this week - no chance of a break. They're good with replying but with the above, a little leniency is best!hi all, anyone who has recently received a response from HL grad rec regarding a query, how long did it take to hear back from them ( I know grad rec are busy I just wanted to know when to roughly expect a response)?
Congratulations! Huge achievement!Gibson Dunn SVS AC invite )))
Also, Clifford Chance TC AC (noticed the email got sent to my spam bizarrely from Candid)
5 ACs for January is a fever dream. Would love to thank the TCLA Community for all their help and support and hopefully I'll be able to convert at least one
2022 is still recent enough, as long as it is within the year, it is totally fine!I'm filling out a question asking to talk about a recent commercial deal - do we reckon a deal from August 2022 is recent enough or should I find one from 2023 instead?
I am pretty sure it’s the progress since it was on the application portal.Is that the WG score by any chance?
Not at all! ☺️ Applications should be the place where you can feel free to show off your aptitudes! (Although.. I don't see how you perceive it as bragging - you really achieved that, with your own efforts; it's something commendable and they will admire you for it)Bit of a random question, but I need some outside perspectives.
