Our assessment centre consists of five components: a written exercise, a small group task, a large group task, an oral presentation, and an interview.
Thank you! That's annoying cuz I just realised have a flight at 4pm on the same day😭. Not hoping for AC invite then.
Hahahah, you could postpone your flight or reschedule it to a night flight same day if available, if you get an ac invite if that would be possible for you (it would hopefully be worth it)😂
Agreed what a complete joke.
I understand that circumstances can change but this genuinely isn’t fair. For things like this, which are arguably foreseeable for a law firm, surely they should leave an ‘FYI’ of some sort on applications before people start applying??
I think last year it was the last week of April. So still a bit to go.
Not myself, they mentioned on my AC day that we would hear by May 5th and I got the sense it would be closer to that date than earlier on aha.
It has been a rough cycle. Only one telephone interview for me. All that after 30+ TC/VS apps. Still, open days can be helpful. Maybe try that if applying again. Then you’ve shown commitment to firms.
That’s the thing, I’ve been to numerous open days with HL and I even did their lift off scheme last year. They really are my top firm 😔
There’s plenty more firms out there. Easy to get set on firms. But they’re more similar than different. You could always reapply to them. I felt this way for W&C.
Applying to firms is a lot like dating - just because they laugh at your jokes and flirt with you and maybe even have one-night stands with you, doesn't mean they're invested. Maybe they just enjoy the attention you're giving them. Attraction ≠ Intention ≠ Investment. Don't invest in someone who won't invest in you.
by the time one enters their third/fourth cycle, all firms become dream firms tbh
Yes. I got to a first stage int with them last year. I can't remember what I wrote but I will check for you later today.
