Hi guys this may be a silly question but how long do you usually have to prep for an AC once you've received the invite? The firm hasn't given out timeslots yet so I was just curious about the general timeframe

Anyone heard back from RPC post WG? Been quite a while now

 

[hw12]

Does anyone have good WG practice tests? I think I’ve tried every single one online already.

 

[hw12]

I haven't booked yet! There's currently no slots but it says to keep coming back and checking!

All the best!

Could be anything from a couple of days to a few weeks unfortunately.

Anyone recently applied to Freeths Legal Assistant? I saw their listings on LinkedIn for specific locations but I already applied on their general system and haven't heard back yet. Should I apply for the LinkedIn listing as well?

Has anyone already done the WBD work placement/vacation scheme? How did you find it? How was the TC interview? x

In the Travers Smith app, there's a section under the work experience entries that says 'Other Work Experience: Outline Details/Responsibilities if required'. Is this where grade rec wants us to put online events/virtual work experience programmes?

Or is this where insight weeks etc should go because we weren't actually 'employed' there? The other work experience boxes all specify an employer field

 

[wolfwoman]

getting stressfully close to the ACs

has anyone heard from them yet?

 

[JadeWadey01]

When do people reckon we will hear back from Weil and Macfarlanes?

 

[wolfwoman]

Nope 😬

has anyone heard back yet?

 

[wolfwoman]

I’ve emailed Penningtons Manches Cooper a few days ago and not had a response. The stress of waiting is sooo frustrating. It is my top choice - hoping for good news.

Hi, did you hear back from PMC yet?

 

[JadeWadey01]

Also is anyone still waiting on Harbottle & Lewis? I haven't heard anything and haven't been rejected yet

 

[wolfwoman]

Has anyone heard from Sinclair Gibson yet?
