Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Lumree]

CC rejection for me as well. I had more hope on this app as it was my best ever app so far

The important bit there is ‘so far’! You no doubt learnt lessons from your CC app that you can apply to your next application - and I bet that application will become your best one.

 

[Ella D]

Also got a CC rejection! Followed all the advice from the Open Day this year so difficult to know where I went wrong.. they must have been looking for something very specific. Good luck with the rest of your apps everyone!

 

[Helena]

So sorry to hear about all the CC rejections. Onwards and upwards everyone. Plenty more firms out there that you will be the right fit for. Keep up the good work.

I remember I wrote narratives for work experience section. Double check

I remember there being a work experience section, was this definitely for a Vac Scheme?

I am honestly struggling with the form haha. I think I am tired.

Ok, so I found the work experience section and I have filled that in but now I can't find GCSE and A-Level section other than the contextual info section. I have gone back and forth through the form but there is nowhere for GCSES etc. Did you guys definitely provide that info too?

The HSF form glitched alot! Just logout and login again. and yes there was definitely a GCSE section!!

They invite 24 people to one assessment centre for each vac scheme. So I guess they will wait until all the VIs are done and then pick the 24.

Hi guys, how do you find out if you've passed the HSF test?

 

[Alice G]

Hi guys, how do you find out if you've passed the HSF test?

They will email you usually within 24 hours of having done the test to let you know good luck!

 

[nyasha]

Does anyone know if we’ll hear back from White & Case or BCLP before the new year?

 

[Aminata]

They will email you usually within 24 hours of having done the test to let you know good luck!

Hi Alice, thank you. Just to confirm, will graduate recruitment email me? As I have only received the Sovaonline report.

 

[Alice G]

Hi Alice, thank you. Just to confirm, will graduate recruitment email me? As I have only received the Sovaonline report.

Hi yeah the report is just sent by the test provider and I remember getting two emails I think to confirm the test result. I can’t recall who from but the report is separate and often comes a little bit ahead of the test benchmark emails

 

[Alice G]

You shouldn’t have to wait too long I should hope

 

[Caitlin]

When did you apply, if you don’t mind me asking? As I haven’t heard anything since October

Of course - I applied 18th October and did the Watson Glaser about a week after!

Is this true? It says on the website they only have 40 people across their two AC's, this would surely mean it is pretty easy to pass? (I have been invited to an AC btw)

That's what they said on the Open Day. Congrats!
