I just realised that we all got individually assigned numbers for the Willkie Written Exercise.
Suddenly realised that “Weds 20” is not in fact Wednesday 20th February, but my personal ID number 🤣

Hi, would it be possible to ask for a training contract in an earlier intake than the one applied for if offered a training contract after the vacation scheme?

Yes - you can ask. Whether the firm can offer this will be dependent on a load of variable factors though.
Some firms offer waiting lists for people who want to move intakes though.
guys, does it matter how long it takes you to do the amberjack (pw)
I think the test has been confirmed to be untimed. I took 90 minutes to do mine so I’m hoping timing won’t be an issue. 🥲
does anyone have any advice for how you'd go about structuring the following question, please, because it asks for soooooo many things in a short word count. I will give you a virtual cookie!
‘In no more than 500 words, please tell us about your extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance which you are most proud of. How will these experiences help you excel as a Clifford Chance lawyer? Please note your interviewers will have access to this answer only at interview should you be invited to an assessment day. The rest of the assessment process is entirely CV blind.’
good luck
don't ignore this pls 🥸

a way to cut down numbers in what seems like a blatantly discriminatory way.... targeting disabled/neurodivergent people to cut numbers is crazy💀
I never got a response either. Maybe I’ve dodged a bullet here. Pretty shoddy from the firm, honestly.
Next thing it will be targeting anyone who went to state school or who was a first gen student. I think it’s a poor reflection on them tbh.
Doing all of this to cut down numbers is crazy work but it’s their loss not ours at the end of the day. 🙂

i didn't take that initiative unfortunately, i had too much trust in them! not sure how else to take this message in their email other than not taking the assessment, even if it was due...
'If you require any reasonable adjustments, please email us on ukearlycareers@freshfields.com to let us know what adjustments you require. We will consider your particular needs and implement any reasonable adjustments as far as possible. Please do not attempt to complete the test until you have heard back from us.'
freshfields wants to be a boys club again i guess😍
yeah... they were good with all of this when i applied only last year, quick replies and i got through to AC... this year there must be different grad rec
