If this is HL after job sim for Summer, I don't think anyone has heard back yet.

Hi! How does everyone do their work experience sections? I have been doing paragraphs but I have now started to doubt myself and think probably short sentence like a CV could be better?

All but one firm I've spoken to have explicitly said they prefer work experience be given in prose, so you're most likely doing it correctly.

Any more Spring Mishcon AC invites?

Not for me, do we know if they’re doing batches?

Some firms don't have any application questions, they say they check our written communication skills from the work experience section.

Grad rec said that they send invites for the AI chatbot interview in batches and also the SJT. I am assuming they are sending AC invites in batches too. Or we can hope thats the case

I did my Cleary WG Dec 21 but no response, do I email or keep waiting? nervousss

They have a couple more ACs upcoming in February so they'll probably send all invitees at once! If you feel like you did okay in the Watson Glaser, you'll probably be invited don't worry x

 

[johnsmith]

Are these mayer brown ACs for spring or summer?

Spring is their main focus

 

[lawstudent2]

Spring is their main focus

Thank you!

So I stopped vaping 24 hours ago cos I’m sick of depending on flavoured battery powered air and now my anxiety for everything is through the roof, especially since firms are not getting back to me! Well, I did get Farrer PFO post app for VS yesterday, but managed to get to first stage interview last cycle for DTC 😂

If I start spamming then pls turn a blind eye, I’m going through it atm 💀

I GET YOU! I can’t do without flavoured battery myself😔😔😔

Fun fact is I started using it when I started working at a law firm (workload and stress) and then came the applications stress after🥲

More power to you for trying😍
I wake up and first thing I do is find my vape on my bedside even before my eyes open🥲🥲
The longest I’ve quit is 3 days because I came home from uk and it took me 2 days to get over jet lag and go buy it😂😂😂
