Hi! Hogan Lovells does not prescribe a word count limit for its work experiences section. Would it be alright if some of my work experiences are around 300 words, or is that too much? Thanks

Notified earlier than expected - got the official invite to AC for Browne Jacobson!

If they are substantial work experiences (eg lots of varied responsibilities, for long periods of time) then yes, but I wouldn’t expect 300 words probably wouldn’t be needed for short internships or part-time jobs in retail etc.

I got 96% of FF WG, is that good. Cuz I heard that sometimes when you score high, you also may get rejected.

I haven't heard back yet, but I am assuming FF are going to be back to people really soon. Maybe even this week for AC. Because on the email it said that they are carrying out AC in Feb

Hi everyone,

This is for those that have completed Freshfields' WG test for their direct TC app. Did you guys receive a confirmation email after submitting it? I have received one and I'm worried something went wrong. Have emailed grad recruitment but they don't open until Monday.

Would help put my nerves at ease if I knew if this was normal or if something went wrong.

Thanks
