Hi guys, do you think it is too late to hear back from Sidley now? (Winter Vac S)

Hopefully not, fingers crossed!

I think people have had interviews and now just waiting to hear back !

I don’t think so? I emailed grad rec and they said they’re in the process of screening applications. I’m assuming that means more interviews may still be held.

For the question "How have you chosen to use AI tools (such as ChatGPT) in your application (99 words)?" I have answered this question as, "I have used AI tools such as ChatGPT to check for grammatical errors and Grammarly to assist with proofreading in my application." Is this a suitable response, or should I add more detail?

Do Bird & Bird not accept LPC graduates? Only SQE?

 

[fingersarecrossed]

Is it easier to get a vacation scheme at a city firm than get a paralegal role?

Has anyone heard from Ashurst yet?

Not that I know of but remember last year people got case study invites 4 days after the holding email.

Does anyone know how long HSF take to tell you if you have passed the SJT and personality tests?

On their website --> At Bird & Bird, our preference is that our future trainees study the SQE route. However, we will not base our decision on who to recruit for our training contract based on whether they have completed the LPC or SQE, or if they have or have not studied a PGDL, LPC or SQE at all. We will discuss individual circumstances with all those offered a training contract.

How do u get the Linklaters wg score?

 

[juaanperez]

They record u throughout the whole assessment. You have unlimited time to prepare for interview questions but your camera is constantly on. Basically the same as for A&O if you've done it.

Thank u so much
