    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    Same! I’ve emailed grad rec asking them though. Will update when they reply. I really doubt there’s a partner interview in this new recruitment cycle. From TCLA, I’ve seen that there used to be. But I know that they’ve changed the process this year. I hope there isn’t. The whole process has...

    Nothing math related. In each micro assessment you have 15 minutes to read through documents, give a written answer and do a video recording.

    I agree. My LinkedIn isn’t even up to date. I don’t use it to update my progress or anything like that in all honesty.

    On a superficial level, I think the first best step is definitely having a diverse grad rec. It’s a loud statement. Honestly speaking. Also, I think firms that have specific programmes for ethnic minorities usually paint a good image prima facie.

    To be honest,I was shocked to meet the black GR because before then I only knew three other people in the team and they are white but we got along so well and I don’t even know why but maybe it has to do with my personality too. Even with my associate interview, she did an international...

    I honestly can’t explain. I’m usually chatty and everyone got my banters, we had an ice breaker task to bring something that signifies strength and i reached for a novel about the civil war in nigeria. When I spoke about this, everyone seemed interested and inspired. Everyone was generally warm...

    I’m even happier to hear this. We were 7 in my AC I was the only black candidate in my ac and there was an asian man; the other five candidates were white but I still felt really comfortable and it was really pleasant!

    Also, one of the GR is a black man with dreads. It seems very insignificant but it was a huge statement for me when I went into my AC. I concluded my AC by asking him how much he is able to show up as himself everyday as a grad rec in the firm and he smiled and said “look at my hair, look at...

    Not to toot their horn but if anyone is black I actually recommend Kennedys and this is because I have previous experience with the firm and I’ve just finished my AC/Associate interview for a 2022 TC. This is my first cycle and my priority with choice was a firm I was sure I will be able to show...

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    I have no idea when to expect to hear back but after my AC on Thursday grad rec said to us all 2-3 weeks because they still had AC’s running this week but I don’t know how reliable that info is! I had mine on Friday last week. It went well tbh. It didn’t feel like an interview. Felt like a...

    She also started with telling me she was a trainee not too long ago so I should be calm and I should remember that she’s been here before so she easily made it like a normal conversation more than an “interview”.
