Hey, has anyone done the BCLP interview recently and heard back if they've progressed or not? Just wondered how long it takes for people to typically hear back

 

[summer207]

Can anyone who has done the Weil VI share insight into the number/theme of questions and how much time to prepare? Thank you!

Can I ask how you prepared? Do they do a range of commercial, situation and competency questions?

 

[SebKru10]

Anyone's heard back from either Norton or Baker McKenzie for the spring vac scheme post interview?

Hey, I'd recommend doing some in-depth research of the firm and understanding of the role of a trainee, and also competencies you can slot into behavioural/scenario questions

 

[CorporateLaw101]

Has anyone heard anything at all from White and Case since sending off application? They say they review on a rolling basis but no one seems to have been invited to anything!

 

[violeta]

If the deadline to do a VI is 14 January (GMT+00:00), is that tonight or tomorrow night?

anyone?

Hi there,

I have just been promoted in my role, however the promotion takes effect in March. I need to send an updated CV for a TC application. I was wondering if it is possible to write "promoted to [x], effective [x]" on a CV or can you not put on future achievements?

@Jessica Booker do you have any insight?

 

[AspiringTrainee]

anyone?

Personally, I would argue as that is tomorrow. 23.59. But do not take my word for it. I would just do it today to be on the safe side if no one else gets back to you.

Same here RE Taylor Wessing, applied on the deadline and nothing yet with regards to next stages- feel like they had loaaaads in the last few days before the deadline.
