Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
If that is true I should just quit now lol (also 25). Just kidding - like the others said I think it's just a way to make you feel uncomfortable and see how you react. We're definitely not old :cool:- Laura T

Skadden Telephone Interview
Yes of course! I'd say that it was really focused on your application, nothing too difficult. For example, he asked me about my degree choice and why I am now pursuing commercial law. He asked me a bit about my work experience, and skills/hobbies. And then there was why Skadden and tell me about...- Laura T

Skadden Telephone Interview
Yes don't stress about it too much! Like you I had my first formal interview about two weeks ago and it also didn't go great. I think when you're just starting out it's really the nerves that can get in your way. Now I'm just reminding myself that even if it doesn't work out, you always learn...- Laura T

I did mine on the 16th and they told me it could be around 2 weeks to hear back because they'd just started doing interviews. So maybe we'll hear something towards the end of this week.- Laura T

Hi guys, any tips for a VC interview at Shearman & Sterling? It was the first application I sent out, so this will also be my very first interview ever. Safe to say that I am excited, but also extremely nervous :confused:- Laura T

I am a Dutch student and our high school education system does not have an equivalent of GCSE/A-levels. In fact, we have a single final examination during and at...- Laura T

Kirkland App
Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with K&E interviews? I am currently considering applying for the direct TC but I am doubting whether or not it is better for me to wait to apply for their vacation scheme next year. The reason for this is that I am a non-law graduate...- Laura T
