Sterling apologies for any misleading caused...

No worries, I’m new so still trying to grasp all of the abbreviations 😂

Does anyone have any tips for the W&C Ac? It’s my first one ever and I’m not sure how to go about the written exercise or what to expect. Thanks so much! @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker

Congratulations for receiving the assessment centre invite!

I shared some general tips that might be useful as starting point in this post: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-167210

You just have to keep working hard like I am sure you have done so far, do you research on the type of assessment you are going to face by talking to future trainees at the firm and keep up to date with firm's news and commercial news in general.

I am sure you will smash it,

Good luck and congratulations once again!

Has anyone heard back from Bird & Bird since the AC for Spring VS?

Hii, did they just call you? Or was it via email?

The partner who interviewed me called, then later GR sent an email outlining the details

Thank you! Many many congratulations!! I had my AC with them last week but I didn’t feel very confident after, so it’s probably a PFO 😭😭

 

[Futuretrainee!1!1]

have they given an update as to when they'll reply? or does anybody know?

I have an interview next week

 

[bella98]

I am yet to know but one time grad rec told me that we would definitely see each other again after a final stage interview - which I took to be a good sign - and then I received a rejection two days later

At Osborne Clarke's AC, a senior associate told me my presentation was outstanding, one of the best they'd seen, and that I should feel proud of it —-> Fast forward a few days, and I got PFO'd – guess my presentation was so good, they thought I was too good to be a trainee🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey, congrats on your AC. When did you hear back from them about your AC offer?

I heard back today at 11 and did my VI two weeks ago exactly

Thank you so much for this informative post! Your support in this process has been so helpful, as well as the support of the forum as a whole.

I was also told 'I look forward to seeing you around the corridors' by a senior associate and then didn't get the VS 😊 Something else at the AC must have massively let me down ahaha
