I usually go with tie, better to be overdressed than underdressedTie or no tie for ACs?
When did you hear back and what office?Does anyone have insight into the Addleshaw Goddard AC? Am happy to provide insight into ACs for Hogan Lovells, Eversheds Sutherland, Travers Smith, Slaughter and May, TLT, and Freshfields as well as VIs for around 10 other firms!
On their website they ask for a 2.1, it doesn’t mention strong or high, so I can’t imagine they are as strict as some other firms.Hi, anyone know if Orrick is really strict with grades? Checked all trainee profiles on Linkedin and IIRC each and every one of them had listed a first.
are we all waiting for the second batch of rejections?Who is still waiting for an update from Hogan Lovells?
A few people have had AC’s and SVS offers for HL and I saw one person for RPC. 🙂Any ACs or offers for HL / RPC (Summer VSs)? Still waiting for a response and PFOs are making me check my junk email every 5 mins 😫😂
HL: applied 31/10, WG done 09/12
RPC: applied 24/10, WG done 05/12
I am in the same boat, I emailed them today and still waiting for a response. Did you apply for a VS or direct TC?I applied to HL in October, not had a WG invite or PFO yet - should I assume PFO ?
We’d still ask that such detail aren’t shared as the types of assessments can still be used across cycles.Sorry Jess! I should've clarified that my experience was from the previous cycle!
No - it really won’t matter which one you choose.hey guys - when a firm is running two separate vacation scheme dates - ie a June and July scheme - would picking the later one affect my chances of securing the TC in anyway?
100% agree.Is anyone else starting to get resentful? I feel like I have made so many sacrifices for the TC cycle and so far there's been no good news. I know people always say 'if you want it badly enough just keep going', but how badly does one ever want employment? 😭 I want to work as a lawyer and I want a job. That's all. This is beginning to feel like a waste of my time. Like paralegals get exploited and paid so little and everyone keeps doing these roles until they land a TC...I feel like I would be progressing more if I was doing something else. Negative dump post, sorry guys.
please let me know if you hear of anything, im wondering this tooAnyone got any updates from RPC? They have been awfully quiet 👀
You don’t need to overthink/worry about this - just contacting them with the details you have outlined here is fine.hi all! i need some advice about staying in contact with partners.
i had a meeting with a partner from one of the firms i'm interested in several months ago. i got this opportunity through a mutual contact. we had a great chat, he was very friendly, and i learned a lot about the firm and decided to apply there. i got rejected post-app (was sad at first but it's okay).
i would like to send an email to the partner, updating him on the progress of my application. i also would like to express my interest in a paralegal position at the firm after my graduation, and ask who can i talk to regarding this to understand whether i'd be suitable for them.
i am not sure how to approach this as i have never had a partner contact before. i would like to maintain this connection as he was extremely friendly, and i feel like i can learn a lot from him in general.
any advice on how to approach it would be appreciated!
38th percentile does not mean that 62% of people get through the process.My post was not too offend - but to emphasise my opinion in a tongue in cheek manner regarding the pointless nature of them having a WG, if their ’pass rate’ is gonna be so low.
have you heard any updates on this?does anyone know how many batches of RPC AC have been sent out or done? its almost end of jan so im wondering if theres any more left
i emailed them.When/where did they say this?
