At least we are all in the same boat! Must just be having delays

I’ve received a holding email advising they will get back to us next week

Guys, if I close my reed smith assessment before VI (it says I can take a break but I want to do it tomorrow), will it automatically submit? I don’t want my camera to be recording all night until tomorrow

It doesn’t automatically submit

idk about yall but sending an application 5 mins before the deadline feels so good

 

[farrow]

Hopefully because you have had good news?

@Tintin06 sorry dude. it's so tough out there. hope you have support?

Hello all, does anyone know if the prep time for the Government Legal Trainee VI is limited?

Hey everyone, I remember seeing a link to a document that specified which firm include the WG in their application process but I can't seem to remember where. Please could someone direct me to it?

I’m not sure which document you are referring to specifically, but I came across this one from a TCLA thread a while ago: 😀

Firms that do not require the WG

Hello everyone! I was wondering if some of you knew of firms that do not require the Waston Glaser test - I had a trainee mention this but didn't give me an example of firms. Thank you!

Hi guys, I’ve had an email from Beale and co HR saying i will be sent a link to a questionnaire and should’ve received it by now but I haven’t gotten it (checked my junk folder as well)

Can anyone confirm if they’ve received it?

Many thanks

Has anyone got any good tips or know of any techniques to get better at Cappfinnity assessments, I always do terrible and feel like the reflections I get on my strengths/weaknesses aren't accurate at all. I have another SJT coming up and would appreciate any advice or websites to look at.

Has anyone heard back from Perkins Coie direct LBA application?

 

[EG3]

I'm applying for a paralegal role and the application asks for a salary expectation.

I've got an LLM in the relevant area of law (undergrad is BSc) and it'd be my first full-time job (no prior legal experience but its not necessary for the role). It's a national commercial firm, one of the top for the relevant practice area, and its in one of their southern regional offices.

What should my salary expectation be? I have no idea what is reasonable

This will be my final time asking but did anyone ever hear anything from Penningtons/PMC DTC? I assume I have been rejected as it is now the end of June but equally haven't seen anything posted on this forum nor have I heard from the firm.

I received an email on 23/05 saying they expect to provide an update on outcomes by the end of July!

So don't stress yet, apparently they usually take a while.

Assuming a PFO for Haynes Boone since first interviews are being held on Tuesday 1st July.. another day, another rejection!

Just did the GLD VI. Does anyone know if there’s a baseline pass mark for each question or whether it’s an overall grade for all questions? I messed up one question big time but the others went quite well I thought 😟
