I was in the middle dot for all but 8 of the qualities! For the other 8, I got 6 on the right and 2 on the left! Absolutely no idea what any of that means though hahah - happy to give more detail but I do not understand the feedback very much on these tests

The 2 Paul Hastings questions seem awfully similar ?? Why do you wish to complete a work placement with us? and What has attracted you to Paul Hastings?

PMC anyone? Should I just take this as a rejection?

@axelbeugre Hi Axel, I have my first AC next week and just wanted to ask if you've got any advice thank you!

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre

Hi Jessica and Axel! (+ anyone else who’d like to give advice)

Unfortunately a firm I really like has PFO’d me for their vac schemes but I know I can reapply for their TC’s and I’m hopeful about it - What changes do you think I should make to show my continued interest to work at the firm? My rejection was post VI so I think there might be something to do with that given it was my first VI. Thank you!!

Hey @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre - do let me know about this please Thank you!

The 2 Paul Hastings questions seem awfully similar ?? Why do you wish to complete a work placement with us? and What has attracted you to Paul Hastings?

I would focus the first one what you hope to gain from the vacation scheme (so why the opportunity) while the second question can be more focus on why the firm.

3 people or less for the placement in the London office. Around 4-5 in other offices.

I asked one of the members from Graduate Recruitment on LinkedIn and she said 4-5 for London as well.

Thank you! I haven't heard anything yet I was in the middle dot for the majority, with about 50/50 to the left/right.

When did you submit your application if you don't mind me asking? I know it's non-rolling but I love the firm and scrambling!

 

[Farhan65756]

Oh god I thought they were taking 5 people in London as well
Which office did you guys apply to?

London for me
Also one of the members from Grad Rec said 4-5 for London too. I asked her on LinkedIn.
