Linklaters 2019/20 Application
I just spoke to Linklaters on the phone and they said that they will let me know in the next couple of days. And that they are holding ACs throughout the next few weeks so there is some hope left!- ComplianceChange

Linklaters 2019/20 Application
Personally I think there is no harm in calling them! You don't even need to say your name and you can call from a withheld number "Hi, I was hoping if I could speak to grad rec... I applied for a TC and I was wondering when I may hear back..." I mean there is a risk they will ask your name...- ComplianceChange

Hey Samar, I think that you are absolutely right- I recently handed in my notice to my job because it was a really toxic environment although it was a brilliant role. Being happy in life is so much more important than destroying your mental and physical health for a role that will take no...- ComplianceChange

Summer direct TC application window
Hey guys, Who is ready and motivated to start applying for these direct TCs? I have received a barrage of rejections this season and I'm now getting my research started on the firms I'd like to apply to for the summer deadlines. Does anyone have a list of firms that have an application...- ComplianceChange

I absolutely hate the game-based assessments, I mean specifically the silly arctic shores ones or the ones that Ashurst use. I don't mind the WG really but I haven't really applied to firms aside from CMS that require it, and therefore haven't really done much of it.- ComplianceChange

You may think that but when a firm [specifically] PwC has nothing to go on aside from the game score it is not fair, especially when someone is severely dyslexic and they don't take that into account. I have no issue with WG- they at least have more meaning. Suppose we will just have to agree...- ComplianceChange

Is it the Arctic Shores one? If so yes that is what PwC use! The funny thing is they say on the rejection email to reapply next year. I guess if you're really committed to that particular firm you have no choice but to keep applying and trying to get through the game! A catch 22. I have e-mail...- ComplianceChange

I got through to a PwC (non-law) graduate scheme a couple of years ago prior to them using the game- it used to be a simple bunch of psychometric testing (verbal, non-verbal, numerical)- I am not sure why some employers thing they need to up their use of technology just for the sake of it. I...- ComplianceChange
