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

[Andreasyau1]

Anyone know if giving negative feedback to the VI provider about the firm going to reduce my chances or are the feedbacks anonymous??

Might give you extra marks for having a critical mind? (Jokes)

Hahah or they might just think ‘who does she think she is’

Just got direct TC AC from Hogan Lovells!!! Anyone done one this/last cycle and have tips? They're one of my top choices so would really appreciate any help

Congrats! Can I ask when you applied and when you took the WGT?

My company uses one of the most popular VI providers (which I think is also used by some law firms) and the feedback we receive from the candidates is always anonymous.

Not sure if the same can be told for the law firm that you applied to, but I would assume so!

No, I'm afraid but I would honestly imagine all providers would have very similar, if not the same, rules regarding feedback reports.

tbh, I gave simmons and simmons a bad review and I got rejected, not saying there is a correlation but....

Debevoise, Sidley, Covington, Ashurst?

lmao if i get rejected this is what i’ll go with and not the fact that i stuttered my way through the interview

Debevoise, Sidley, Covington, Ashurst?

Nothing from Debevoise, Sidley or Ashurst for me as of yet...

I haven’t heard back since my VI.

 

[ComplianceChange]

AHHHHHHH I just got my first ever interview... at Jones Day! (Crying while I type, never thought this day would come)

does any one have any extra tips - I know they're quite different to other firms.

Nothing from Debevoise, Sidley or Ashurst for me as of yet...

When did you apply to Ashurst? Is this for the direct TC?

 

[JayB]

Is anyone still waiting on DLA Piper? I heard they’ve completed their ACs, which can’t be right surely?

 

[ComplianceChange]

For anyone wondering, I applied to Jones Day on the 12th December, Academic Reference request on the 24th December [Referee Sent in on the 2nd January] and I got the interview offer today on the 21st January

I am still waiting... I am guessing it will be a rejection at this point as so many offers have been made.
