Trowers & Hamlins AC for the Exeter Office
OMG, i had a missed call at 5:05pm and they left a voicemail - it was graduate recruitment from Reed Smith!! 😳😳😳 I missed the call because of an EU lecture - just my luck!✨✨✨✨✨✨ manifesting an offer for Reed Smith today ✨✨✨✨✨✨
The AC i had two weeks ago went poorly :')
I would send an email just to recognise you have missed the call and mention that you will try and give them a call when you are available tomorrow morning. You could also explain when you will be free tomorrow if they do want to also call you back.OMG, i had a missed call at 5:05pm and they left a voicemail - it was graduate recruitment from Reed Smith!! 😳😳😳 I missed the call because of an EU lecture - just my luck!
They asked me to phone them back or email, so i phoned them immediately after my lecture at 5:55pm and no answer - they must have finished for the day.
Half of me is extremely excited as phone calls (i believe) are generally a good sign, but the other half of me is terrified it will just be a rejection but they wanted to give feedback.... 🥲🥲

I have had various Grad Recs contact me when I updated my LinkedIn (however they were largely competing MC firms). This is also true for five of my other friends. A few of my friends received straight TC offers from their VS Interviews as a result of this too.1) I am not convinced many recruiters are actually looking at LinkedIn in the first place
2) If they do, it's a risky tactic - in many instances, it might actually put a negative spin on how I viewed someone (as I would consider them more interested in the other firm).
Okay lol. This was true for my friends and I, and something we did for our TC offers as well (which helped).I don’t know if this is true… I doubt any grad rec people are regularly checking your LinkedIn to see whether you’ve accepted any other offers…..
I think in the specific context of flagging offers to recruiters to express that you want to go to *this place,* sure - I did this recently with competing paralegal offers - but if it's just a LinkedIn posting you're not communicating that preference. Ultimately it probably doesn't have a huge impact one way or the other on LinkedIn, but I see where Jessica is coming from.I have had various Grad Recs contact me when I updated my LinkedIn (however they were largely competing MC firms).

I'm not sure how to view your second response - that may be true for some Grad Recs, but when I had flagged my other offers directly to Grad Rec (or discussed it when they contacted me) or during interviews for Vacation Schemes (as I appreciate competing TC offers are genuinely more worthwhile as leverage), I feel I was viewed more favourably. It also gave me a good opportunity to re-affirm why I'm interested in the firm I'm interviewing in, because you can use it as an opportunity to tell them that you're waiting on said firm, that you're more interested in them, etc.
Thank you Jessica!I would send an email just to recognise you have missed the call and mention that you will try and give them a call when you are available tomorrow morning. You could also explain when you will be free tomorrow if they do want to also call you back.
Thank you so much!Manifesting this for you😇
I find it surprising that MC firms are doing this to be honest. Will be interesting to find out why when I catch up with them next.I have had various Grad Recs contact me when I updated my LinkedIn (however they were largely competing MC firms).

Is it for W&C? If so, it does not matter! With some firms it may make a difference but with the vast majority it will notthis is my first AC so i wanted to ask if when i book my ac matters? is it better if i do it earlier or can i give myself some more time to prepare
Criminal..I mean Nando’s is pure magic!i knowww right??? all this time, i just thought it was hype - like how good could chicken from a chain restaurant be??? omg i was so so so utterly wrong. i deserve a PFO from nando's.
going to try wagamama when i get my next PFO!
Hopefully soon! I had my AC last week and haven’t heard anything yet and I know when I was booking my slot today was the last day that could be booked.Anyone know when OC are getting back to everyone post-AC?
what firm is if u don't mind me asking?'tell us a bit about yourself' 250 words. I'm unsure how to approach this, does the firm want me adopt a competency-style answer and be like 'I am commercially aware because xyz' or do they want me to talk about my personal interests?
This is for Ashfordswhat firm is if u don't mind me asking?
