Me🥹
hey!!
Since you have done the test last cycle can I ask about your experience? Like what does the test actually look like a don what exactly is the aptitude test, is it like a Watson glazer test?
Regarding to BCLP’s interviews ,i just emailed the recruitment team and they said that for direct apps to TC’s they’re only going to start progressing people to interviews in April 2024
Apparently the reason they took that long it’s because they are non-rolling.So they send the tests right after the deadline closes. I know somebodies poeple who also just got the test today
Right!! I’ve only heard about one person who got the BCLP invitation for the interview. But at the same time haven’t been rejected yet so we can just wait.
I submitted my Gowling app like two months ago.I literally thought I got rejected turn out not yet
I'm assuming if the associate is away ,you cant contact him. If im away i wouldnt like to be contacted and i would assume people would see it that way.I mean tahts how it usually works, you don't contact people who are away unless its extremely urgent.I wouldn't consider this that urgent
Hi!
I'm drafting my application .Currently struggling with the first open text question regarding what i find attractive about BCLPs departments hahah. I cant seem to find nothing unique to talk about
anyways so far thats it ,what about you?
Vacation schemes require you to be physically in the uk ,that's the only way they can assess you , and because these firms don't sponsor the visa, you would have to sponsor it yourself. If you cant afford to get a visa id suggest to try apply directly to TC's.
I'm an overseas student as well so...
I´d day if you want to apply now look into law firms that have no academic requirements like Cliffors Chance.But if you´re looking into others that do require make sure you´re experience is strong enough
