As I'm writing this I can't believe it. CC just called me and offered me a TC.

I don't know what else to say - I'm in disbelief.

if you have any specific questions let me know and I'll try my best but I'm really really freaking out right now.

Thank you to everyone on this site that has ever helped me with anything though.
CONGRATS!!!

Hey, you aren't likely to hear from them till May as they normally deal with their summer vac schemes first. ACs are normally in August too.
Ahh really, they said at their open day (Dec) to get direct TC apps in as they were reviewing them.. also saw someone on LinkedIn say that they got a TC. Maybe that was 2023 TC then?

Ah I see. They may have changed their process from last year then but I reckon that was for 2023 given they are currently recruiting for 2024/25.

How was your interview? Was it tricky / technical??

@Jessica Booker @AvniD

For Hogan Lovells, for the (optional) 'other information' question, is it okay to write about why law/why HL as there isn't really a section for this?
I'd only write about things here that you haven't been able to mention about yourself anywhere else rather than the firm/law- anything unique about your background, any mitigating circumstances etc.

For the Dentons question about overcoming a challenge, does my example need to include an unexpected obstacle or hurdle? Would it be enough to simply explain specifically why achieving a certain goal was difficult/challenging for me? I'm unsure whether to go down the route of dealing with a problem or achieving a goal.
