Easy solution: stop applying to these places. They'll get the message soon enough with lower numbers and lower quality chosen.BCLP has 4 x 500-word questions for their SVS. 2000 words. An essay. They want an essay All that just to get "we regret to inform you"...
Having engaged with the firm a lot this year, it’s definitely worth it! Give it a go, you might surprise yourself!BCLP has 4 x 500-word questions for their SVS. 2000 words. An essay. They want an essay All that just to get "we regret to inform you"...
But both of these firms have strength based interviews which maybe explains why they both opt for long questions to assess your strengths from those app questionsEasy solution: stop applying to these places. They'll get the message soon enough with lower numbers and lower quality chosen.
But they're banking on dog eat dog / rats in a sack to continue regardless so....
I spoke to grad rec a few timesDid you email the firm?
If you need an equivalent essay to work this out, then something is not quite right with the process. Law is not academia either.But both of these firms have strength based interviews which maybe explains why they both opt for long questions to assess your strengths from those app questions
Unfortunately I do not think there is an actual way as law firms keep this piece of information very confidential. Additionally, there are people who get invites and reject them all the time so the number would not even be accurate. It would definitely be easier though if it was known for sure!Does anyone know if there is a way we can find out how many people would be invited to ACs for a specific firm?
Hey @S87,Hi @Jessica Booker,
I completed my studies outside the UK, but I noticed that many vacation scheme applications do not have the space to explain my home country. Do you suggest getting in touch with the graduate recruitment team to understand how to provide the extra explanation? Thank you in advance
I think it really depends on the situation and the interview itself. I would not quantify the number of minutes it is advisable to speak in an interview. This, in my opinion, depends on a number of different factors, i.e. interviewer-interviewee relationship, whether the interview is flowing well or not, whether the interviewer is very interested in your answer and let you speak. So, it is quite difficult to put a number to it. I would say that as long as you have seen graduate recruitment engaging in a positive way with your answer, then this is all that matters.Hey guys, if you were to have an hour interview with grad rec and they ask "why our firm?" how long would you spend talking? Would 5-7 minutes be overkill? Thank you!
Considering drafting skills are a key component of a lawyer’s job, I understand the logic of longer questions and unique questions to the firm.If you need an equivalent essay to work this out, then something is not quite right with the process. Law is not academia either.
Do they give any form of feedback at the application stage? If not, you are getting nothing out of it apart from an automated email in the vast majority of cases.
Imagine writing a 2000 paper in any other situation and getting a robot rejection.
Unfortunately we don’t have a profile for this firm.Thank you so much!
Do you reckon there's an application guide for Milbank? It's not included in the courses for Premium. Where can I get more info on the firm?
The London oneCongratulations!!! Can I just check which office you applied for?
