‘Er… yes, even I can see that it would…’
‘It wouldn’t just be within employment law though would it?’
Both of these comments came across as very rude and condescending. There is no need for it imo. 🤨

Same with Travers Smith unless they change it this year.

Damn the waiting is painful 😒 just roast me or accept me, my emotional reaction will be the same at this point
Obviously I’m not Jessica and she may have a different opinion due to her years of experience, but from a candidate perspective, do you really want to hold onto a firm who doesn’t value your time by leaving you hanging for so long and ignores your correspondence?
I would see that as a firm who doesn’t really care about the talent it attracts which may speak some volumes about their company culture. After an AC they should tell you if they expect to take a long time due to the amount of applications, how busy they are, etc, but to go without any communication doesn’t sit right with me as a candidate.
Congrats! Do you mind sharing when you had your video interview and when you've heard back?
Maybe the first with hindsight could come across as rude but it wasn't meant to be. I was actually trying to joke that even as a non law student I can see the relevance.
The second definitely not. It isn't just an employment issue. Hence the comment framed as a question. This is same type of thing as when you consider all sorts of commercial issues and processes. It has much more off a crossover in the same way as AI, CSR, ESG does these days which led on to my comment about wider commercial awareness which is what firms are looking for.
I apologise if the original poster took it that way. It wasn't meant that way and did not warrant in any way the comments piled on me after. It is a shame a few people piled on without taking the time to think through what was being said.
man i wish tcla had a mental health provider partnership, truly becoming a one-stop-shop for all application season needs
NRF AC! I'm so shocked but super excited! I appreciate all the insight I can get since this is my first AC ever!
Think it went ok, it was just basic SJT and a small section consisting of Watson Glaser ques - can’t really judge these sjt’s feedback reports much because one might think they did really well and the firm might think it wasn’t up to the mark or vice versa😢
My strengths were - open communicator and growth mindset
Weakness was personal responsibility (think I focused too much on collaboration or teamwork)
Did you apply for the discover scheme too?
Does anyone have any insight into the second round mofo interview by any chance ?
Congrats!!! Do you mind sharing when you did your interview and when you heard back?
It takes exactly one week to get a feedback report after you do the test ( it’s mentioned in their assessment invite email too)! If it’s been a week and you haven’t received one, I suggest you email grad rec to check this and also check on the all hires portal if you 100% submitted the test
