    At what point would people recommend chasing a law firm? They told us we would hear end of last week, and I’ve heard nothing. I messaged grad recruitment on Monday but not heard anything back. They specifically said we would hear back either way. What would people recommend?

    Hi has anyone heard from Flex Legal? @Jessica Booker have you sent invitations? Conscious that we were told we would hear either way and that the ACs are meant to be this month

    Thank you Jessica. I was worried that because I haven't had an email from Flex Legal themselves yet that my inbox may have marked it as spam. Thanks!

    I'm personally applying for the Manchester office, which you can't do Spector specific, but if I was applying for London, if would think about the following: Do I have a genuine interest in the sector? Do I have evidence/experience backing this experience up? (ie if Real Estate, have you been...

    I would personally angle it more in the way that it is large enough for you to interact with high clients/do high profiled work, but not too large that your training contract is one of a big mass. If they are a regional firm I'd focus on that, or if they have a specific niche (ie a boutique firm...

    I’m not sure how well I have done, but I’ve always passed. I spent less time practising and more time understand the logic / reasoning behind it. Until that becomes my logic. I found listening to the podcast with Assessment Day’s creator really helped. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss...

    Birketts invitation to interview! :oops:That's all my applications back, in the post-application stage. This is my second (third unofficially) cycle, and I really think that really really researching firms and only picking firms that I love, was really important. I applied to 5 firms: Eversheds...
