Hey I applied on the deadline.
I recieved an email yesterday with an offer to attend- it was addressed as Dear All, - so I’m assuming it was sent to all successful applicants.
I am happy to provide notes from the open day, I write absolutely everything down, and if you have any questions, happy to ask them aswell!
How did you find the AC, any general things you've learnt from attending?
Congrats! When did you apply?BCLP interview invite ! Got to interview stage last year but failed it. Really hope this time I’m better
Can anyone help with advice or resources for Bird & Bird WG, Linklaters WG, Weil SJT & VI, Freshfields stage 1?
I have autism and struggle with psychometric tests so any advice would be really appreciated

Ngl could be very famous last words but very manageable:
In terms of what I learnt
- Tasks was not overly complicated - some tasks required using multiple different sources of info, so I managed to make several explicit references to them throughout my task's
- People there was not trying to trick you out
- Interview was extremely conversational
In terms of what I learnt
- Learn how to wrap things up - So during the group activity, I did was last presenting my part and I did not really prepare a concluding remark. But oh wells not that deep.
- When listing, remember to use different lingo/ structure like firstly, secondly and etc apart from also this blah blah also blah blah and etc
- Finally remember even though Timekeeper role is bait , remember to still appoint one. We forgot too lool (also none of us did not know how to read analog clock so made tracking time a bit long but is what it is)
I’m starting to think I will have a bunch of PFO coming into my inbox.
- DLA Piper: I was informed I passed WG on the 29th October but I hadn’t heard back from them since.
- Reed Smith: sent the application on the 7th Nov but haven’t being invited to the test yet (assuming PFO)
- Bird & Bird: I applied on the 11th Nov but I haven’t not received the test invite (I saw someone got it on the same day)
-Hogan Lovells WVS did the Job simulation on the 3rd October I’m 100% sure it is a PFO at this point

I think this shows you can work under pressure 😂
Has anyone else received an email from the grad rec team of Eversheds about their open evening next Monday with the reimbursement form sent as an attachment to the email?
I applied for their insight evening, was invited but then that got redacted and instead it was a PFO, so just slightly confused about whether this email is also another error like last time. 😂

Dogs do have a sixth sense of detecting danger...maybe it was tryna protect you against a firm with bad vibes 🤣
