    I'm not trying to be a scaremonger but I just got rejected by Clifford Chance. Recruitment said I did not have an in-depth understanding of the firm and clients. Felt like a heavy load was lifted and the feedback was thorough. That's enough application from me! Good luck guys! 😭

    Clifford Chance has me praying to God. Crazy thing is, I'm an atheist. 😭🤣🤣

    You do not need legal experience. Any experience will suffice as long as you can draw relevant skills needed for the legal role you're applying for, from your non-legal job/activity.

    that's really wholesome. When did you have your interview, what time did you get the call, and what was your feedback, if you don't mind?

    Another day, another waiting game for CC's feedback call. I have never been more genuine in my life: I do hope an offer comes out of the call we all receive.
