Has anyone heard back from Burges Salmon today about the Assessment Center?

Not yet. Will lyk

Has anyone received the Watson Glaser from Hogan Lovells Lift Off scheme? How long did it take for them to send it?

An update - WG received yesterday. Deadline in 7 days.

The open day is on Thursday Nov. 7th but they said that they would circulate details today xx
Checked my spam and all but have it received anything:/

I wouldn’t expect anything until close of play today.

 

[Jessica Booker]

is it a bad thing to prioritise vs/tc apps over open days rn? my time off from work is finite and i’d rather prioritise vac schemes/interviews over open days? i’ve done some online events and met a lot of firms during uni last year, but i’m worried im putting myself at a disadvantage by not doing lots this year?!

This is not an issue at all - a lot of successful candidates will never have applied to or attended an open day and just have other evidence of their motivations and pursuit of the career.

Covington AC 😁

Congrats, when did you apply?

Anyone heard from Gibson Dunn?

Anybody who has done the DLA Watson Glaser - is it particularly hard or just the normal level of difficulty for a WG? (if that makes sense lol)

I would personally say harder than Clifford chance but pretty standard to be honest
