    This is what it says on the CC website: If you have successfully completed the test before for a previous application, you will not be asked to complete it again if you are submitting a new application. Please note that we do not take the specific test score into account providing you have...

    Hey, CC invite users after reviewing their application to the WGT. If they pass, users are then eligible to go onto the AC. The "your profile is of interest" message is an email that some users received who submitted their application but weren't invited to the WGT. Essentially, CC is saying...

    It just says "Completed... Updated: [date]" or something like that. No other information unfortunately :(

    WG is purely pass/fail. If you pass, they’ll read your app. It doesn’t matter what your score is (source: CC website).

    Assessment Centres - How To Prepare?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been fortunate enough to have secured 4 AC’s (in past cycles). And while I prepared as much as I could at the time, I unfortunately didn’t get an offer. I was hoping to create this thread to see if people who have been successful or people looking back at their ACs had any...

    Nws! If there’s no space in an app to write about societies and uni/academic stuff, then just add them in the work experience section like you would for any other job. :)

    Clifford Chance Work Experience Section

    Hey! There definitely is a limit as I wrote loads for one work experience entry and I had to reduce the characters. It's easily 600 words + though so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Nor are they looking for you to fill the entire word count (hence why they've not provided you with one) so I...

    CC (and other firms) have stressed to include all work experience e.g. volunteering, casual/informal, formal, etc. So be sure to put all of them down. But, as stated by @kat_ above, be sure to put down not only your duties/responsibilities but how you made an impact, what you achieved, etc...

    Hey! The only advice I can give is to do their practice test. I'm not sure if they have the reasoning on their practice test but if they do, I recommend reading that. The test is on events you may encounter as a trainee, so I used my own working experience along with HSF's core competencies in...

    For everyone that was invited to CC's WG Test earlier this week and submitted their test: 1. Have you heard back on whether you're being progressed? 1(a). If so, how long was the gap from submitting your test and getting the email? Thanks! :)

    Hey! Congratulations on passing the Watson Glaser Test. From what I know, the people that received emails saying "Your profile is of interest..." are people who haven't yet been invited to do the Watson Glaser Test. Therefore, they're one step before you as you've already passed the test and...

    I think we’ll hear back by mid-Dec. They probably want to review 2023 before they get to 2024. AC dates are published on the website (I’m away from my computer otherwise I’d copy and paste).

    Hey! Same here. My app says it was "last updated" on 18/11/2021. I submitted 10/11/2021. No WG test invite received but I passed it in a previous cycle so I'm hoping for a straightforward reject/accept email. From past experience, "last updated" may mean: application has been opened by CC...
