    Hi all, I am a law grad / current paralegal and I am trying to get together a list of firms that look at candidates with paralegal experience/past careers favourably, and really value this experience. I know a lot of firm's tend to make it out they all feel this way, however I know this is...

    Same here!!! I thought i would be so relieved at the outcome of securing a VC, however as mine is not until the summer I feel like I have tooooo much time now to stress/panic prepare myself lmao. Nothing is guaranteed, but I really am hoping that if we've got to that VC stage the numbers should...

    For situational hypothetical interview questions, is it best to incorporate previous examples of where you have dealt with [x] problem? Or just simply stick to what you would do in that hypothetical situation?

    I emailed them around 1/2 days after completing the WG. They took around a week though to respond.

    They disclose the percentile you got, but they don't say whether you have passed or not. If it helps, I've recently secured a summer vac scheme offer from HL after not doing that well on their WG test. So from this, i would say they consider your score in conjunction with other factors of your...

    Does anybody have any advice for group based discussions at an AC? I am conscious of the fact that I may not always be the loudest in the room, and that my opinions may not get heard. Does anyone have any tips for this, and in general how to ensure that I stand out essentially. I have found it...

    Hi @Jessica Booker , I have an upcoming AC, and one of the questions I have seen people get asked is '' Why are you only now applying to [our] firm''? For context, it is not application/CV blind, and this would be my third round of application cycles, and I haven't applied to the firm before...

    In an interview, when answering a question on a 'firm's deal of interest', do you think it's fine to answer about a deal worked on by European teams (not London), even though i'm applying for the London office? The London team have strength in the area of this deal though, and it's one of...
