Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Explain that to the firm - I am sure they would be able to consider increasing the amount they reimburse. Its stupid if they don't because the flowers in their reception will cost more than your train ticket!
This template is a pretty traditional format that is suitable for Slaughter and May - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/cv-templates.2296/post-27243
If your CV is 4MB it is likely created on some form of software that uses more imagery or has a lot of information imbedded into it. I would only expect a CV to be 100s of KB rather than MB, so it might be worthwhile putting it into a more traditional word document.
Heard today evening and did the VI two weeks ago. All the best!
Congratulations! Any tips for the application and WG? Thanks in advanceDLA AC for London! Any insights would be really appreciated
Application wise it’s two very short 200 or 250 word questions (I don’t remember exactly) so focus on conciseness and cut the fluff that doesn’t relate much to your motivations for joining the firm. If you keep it simple concise and impactful you should do great!
Hi @wowcha and first of all huge congratulations on the AC 🥳 !! I have not applied for A&O but when I was preparing for my other ACs, one resource from TCLA was particularly useful to me. For a number of firms, TCLA has in depth information and advice about the AC process directly from candidates who did the AC in the past. Fortunately, we have one for A&O as well, which you can access here. You can also find here a more recent similar post, for the 2023/24 recruitment cycle.
Absolutely no worries and best of luck in the AC! You got this 💪!!Thanks so much for your help!! I'm very grateful.
I’m worried I haven’t interacted with the firm as much - do you think this would affect my chances? Especially because I don’t intend on applying to the London office
Hi @Pola123 and @Amehta1 and huge congrats on your AC, it is an amazing achievement 🥳! Regarding DLA Piper-specific interview preparation resources, I thought to link the TCLA Interview Experiences page we have for the firm. It was written by other people who completed the AC in the past and gives you both a detailed description of the experience and some advice. This resource was particularly useful for me when I was preparing for ACs at other firms, so I do advise you to take a look - you can access it here. You can also find a more recent added post on this for the 2023/24 cycle here.
