Many of us have experienced this I'm sure! Once, I realised I was waffling and quickly said 'so to answer your question' and I could swear the interviewer gave a little sigh of relief 😂

Just received a phone call. My heart beats out of my chest.
Turns out its a fraudulent call from the 'National Crime Agency' telling me I've committed a crime.

If it helps, I felt this way about an interview I did on an assessment centre and I ended up getting a VS invite "on the strength of" my interview. I also had a VI which I visibly cringed at myself, and got through to the next stage. Sometimes we aren't a good judge of how things went. 😅
I had the exact same call! Why on earth, do I keep receiving scam calls?
Congratulations 😜K&L Gates PFO
I'm waiting to hear if I get an interview for a paralegal job from them hahahaha
Getting a PFO from a scammer pretending to be HMRC would really be a new low though, wouldn't it?
It’s fine mistakes happen haha the fact you acknowledge it aswell I appreciate! I applied mid January 😊 good luck with your application x
Mayer Brown PFO post telephone interview. Got to the AC before with a lot less experience and didn't really know what I was doing at the time. On days like today I do not get this process whatsoever. It honestly feels like a game of luck and it's so demotivating. I wish I could know the answer as to why not, like why then and not now?!
Completed a TC interview for a certain tech-focused US firm (think VC) in September, the rejection only came through in December. Immediately emailed back to ask for feedback and only got a response yesterday to organise a feedback call for today. Call was confirmed for 2pm, only for me to be ghosted.....again.....

Honestly try not to be too hard on yourself, this cycle has been so so competitive compared to before, more firms are receiving more than 50% extra applications so it may just be the most minute thing that becomes the deciding line, Mayer Brown has also definitely become more competitive over the years, since I last got to the telephone interview 2 years ago they have added another stage to their app process! And this round I still haven't heard back after months because they've been so swamped so honestly it isn't you it's the situation!
I have experienced something similar... I had a TC interview at the start of March 2020 for a magic circle firm in which I was rejected. I have requested for feedback multiple times and each time they reply they are ‘too busy at the moment’ to give feedback and will get back to me in due course (doubtful). Very annoying considering how much time I invested prepping for the interview and they can’t even be bothered to give me a few sentences of how I could improve / where I fell short so I can improve for the future!
I'm in the same position (minus the email), I think last time someone emailed they said they were swamped and they seem to have given out a batch of telephone interviews a few days ago so hopefully they'll get back to us soon!
Thank you, I felt so horrible when I realised 😓 haven’t heard anything from them either so I’m expecting my PFO soon enough! Good luck with the rest of your applications, I hope you get some good news!! 😊X
Latham AC and will be taking place in person!!
