Is this post interview or written assessment?

 

[Phoebe123451]

Is this post interview or written assessment?

no - post-app. Have you received an invite to an interview or assessment?

If it’s post interview then I think it depends on how quickly your interviewer gives their feedback to grad rec but they’re quite quick

It’s the next stage

Was this for the Vacation scheme or TC? How long after submitting your application did you get an email to do the test? Thank you

Separately, I did an AC with Dechert just over two weeks ago. They said we'd hear back within two weeks and I know people who got offers but had to wait more than two weeks. I'm getting really worried because I assume it's a pfo at this point.

However, I've spoken to a few people on here and no one seems to have been interviewed after me, and received an offer. Can anyone please let me know if grad rec has been in contact? Thank you.

I was offered a place on the Dechert VS yesterday and did my AC on 24 Feb

Hey I just had my 2nd round yesterday and don't worry they are very chill so refer to them as Mofo! Your interviewers will almost definitely say Mofo instead of morrison foerster

Hey - Can you please provide tips for the second round? What questions and how to prepare for it? TY

hello, I recently did an interview and am awaiting an outcome. This particular firm seems to check references before they give out an offer, and I was asked by grad rec if the reference I provided in the application is still valid. I said yes as it was my academic tutor. However, I have recently discovered that he has gone on parental leave until the 17th of April. Should I email the firm about this? I'm obviously not sure if they have tried reaching out to him or whether they intend on giving me an offer, but I don't know if I should flag this to them or whether they will contact me for a new reference.

I don’t think there is any harm in at least telling them this.

IS this for Mofo? Can you share anything about the interview?

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Thank you! Should I have another reference ready when I email them? I'm worried about sounding too confident by insinuating they would want to get a reference as they are giving me an offer. However I also don't want their response to be delayed as they couldn't get in touch with my current reference if they do decide to give me an offer. I also feel a bit silly as I confirmed to grad rec that this was a fine reference to use during the interview but I wasn't aware he had gone on parental leave

I don’t think you will come across as over confident unless you reference them making you an offer.

They will understand the situation - you won’t be expected to know someone’s parental leave is coming up.

Bakers AC! :O considering in an earlier email they said 17 March was the last AC date..guess they delayed it!

@Jessica Booker If you are completing a written assessment and the timer runs out on Launch Pad, does what you have written automatically upload or do you have to click submit?

I was proof reading and the timer went so I did not have a chance to click submit.
