hey guys v random but did anyone apply for spotify’s summer legal internship?
Hi, I am applying to Dentons' Middle East VS and one of the application questions asks about a time I received constructive feedback. I recently did an AC for a VS but couldn't make it to the VS and I received some feedback for this from the law firm. Can and should I mention this or would it be perceived negatively?
Q2. Tell us about a recent instance when you received constructive feedback. Please outline 1) the context, 2) the feedback you received, 3) the learning points and 4) the actions you have taken to improve your performance.

TW reject via phone call…I'm not sure about PFO via email but I have only ever received offers via phone; I actually was panicking once because a firm had called me and i'd missed it, I asked my parents whether they thought that they'd call to reject; they said "not unless they are exceptionally polite". It was an offer! So i'd generally take a phone call as a good sign!! From the AC's I've attended, I do believe all of them said they do provide feedback calls if there is a PFO to explain why-so maybe that is the call element! I hope this helps and best of luck
Super random, but I got an email at 6.50am today stating that "You have been registered as a candidate on LINKLATERS LLP." The page then brings me to pearson talent lens. I have applied for the Summer Vacation Scheme, but did anyone else also receive this email, and is this an AC invite?
That seems like such a weird thing to do? Why not just email and then offer a feedback call later on? I get that it’s to show respect probably but that seems like a way to accidentally get people’s hopes up…
Absolutely. Luckily I missed the call so got an email saying they had tried to call and that unfortunately I hadn’t got the VS. And then they offered a call to get feedback. I suppose it was crap news however they communicated it but a phone call would definitely have made me think I’d got it and would have been embarrassing and sad when they then said PFO!
They do have a really high offer rate - 28 of us on the AC and 15 places on Spring VS so maybe that’s part of the reason.
I applied to a few firms on this list, and the Debevoise application stood out for asking an unusually large number of first-stage questions. It look me a long time to draft the answers, and knowing what you're getting into is helpful here. These may not be verbatim (2025):
- Please explain why you have decided to pursue a career as a solicitor and what has attracted you to Debevoise? (250)
- Please indicate if there are any preferred practice areas that interest you. (250)
- Please detail any extra-curricular activities and leisure interests, including any relevant responsibilities and achievements. (250)
- Please tell us about a difficult or demanding achievement that you are particularly proud of, focusing on why it was challenging and the contribution you made towards achieving the end goal. (250)
- Please tell us something that not many people know about you. (250)
- Please tell us about a recent commercial deal that has captured your interest. If you could represent a side, which would it be and why? (300)
- What do you hope to get out of a career at a Firm like ours? (250)
waiting 2 weeks post ac actually is so stressful!!
AG have been awful this cycle, I'm so done with them
