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

[Holly]

Hi! It's on Tuesday! I would appreciate if you could send over some general tips. Good luck on your AC's!

Sure, will send some stuff over now

Do you have to tell them before you start the VS that you'd like a TC interview during it? Or will that be something they speak to you about once you're actually there?

I think they assume you'll do the interview at the end of the vac (the last week is basically just interviews) but if you want to do it at a later date then you can just let them know during the VS. I know someone who did their TC interview a month later because she wanted to do it after all her other vacs were done and they were fine with that. So it's completely flexible and definitely don't worry about letting them know in advance before the VS or anything.

Ah okay! Congratulations on getting a first-round interview! Thats amazing in itself! I'm so sorry I can't give you any advice on how to approach the interview specifically for Stephenson Harwood but let me know how it goes! Is it anytime soon?

Passed the initial screening for NRF (summer vac), invited to do the WG test.

Hey, sorry to ask something that has already been somewhat covered, but I had a Freshfields TC interview on Thursday afternoon and still havent heard anything back. Would that suggest that I havent got it?

Also had Gateley VS last year and they took ages to get back to me about anything.

No. It is one working day since your interview. All it would take is for someone to be on annual leave on Friday and the could delay the process.

How long does it roughly take for them to get back? Also will it be by call or email? Thanks Jessica.

The biggest law firms in the world wanted to pay for your train ticket, you are on the brink of success, keep pushing it

Freshfields AC invite (TC)!

Well done!! Congrats!! How long did it take them to get back to you?

 

[manchunited]

No set time. They will get back to you as soon as they can, but when I was there that was known to take up to two weeks (at the worst).

Could be either

not always the case. Will be a call if you are easy to get hold of... if you can’t answer your phone, expect an email.
