walker morris PFO!

Tbf I only applied as their website was pretty fun to read 🤣🤣

Walker Morris PFo throughly deserved!! What was I thinking at 3am😭
Do not ask me for application advice 🤭

Would anyone who used jobtestprep to prepare for their WG and managed to go to the next stage (or generally get a good score) be willing to pm me? I'm trying to gauge the scores I should be getting on there to be comfortable with taking actual WG tests

LMAOO! I'm sure GR were in stitches.

 

[Miss Chocolate]

it's the "palpable" for me. I would have promoted you straight to partner if I was reviewing your application.

@walker morris you’ve missed a great opportunity to take on a future partner 😌

It was 3am!!! Plus £61k NQ didn’t deserve me using my brain to answer 😭

(Joking I’ll take any training contract)👀

If anyone has done Mishcon’a video interview before, please could you message me? Thank you!

 

[aspiringlawyer47]

Has anyone done the SPB digital assessment before?

 

[Kodak123]

Yeah, I guess you're right. it's just the wait that's extremely debilitating - it's even approaching the degree to where my studies are becoming materially affected by it. If my application is inevitably going to be rejected, I'd rather know as soon as possible to best mitigate the fallout damage.

Nah Milbank is defo done, they’ve offered places for their schemes

Out of interest - how do people remain concentrated/switched on throughout an assessment day?

Reflecting back on my recent post-ACs, I felt I lacked energy and my concentration levels were low towards the end of the second half of the day. For my Slaughters interview, my mind was elsewhere when the partner was speaking to me, and I was dazed out.

Any tips to overcome this? Anyone faced a similar situation? I want to avoid this for future AC's.

Anyone with any insights into the CRS VI or Trowers & Hamlins AC? I can help you with Forsters, BCLP, Travers and Maples Teesdale.

Hahaha! Great advice, some law firms’ coffees taste like soil 😂 but I’ll swallow my pride next time and drink it!
