Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019
Rejection from HSF today. Weirdly, they said I was rejected for a training contract, even though I applied to a winter vac scheme. I did tell them prior to the assessment that I'd have to be considered for summer or a training contract so I hope they didn't jump the gun and just assess me for a...- Hazal

How to approach this 600 word question for Clifford Chance
@Daniel Boden good luck with your application! Well when I hear a recruiter say "more about you" I interpret it to mean, they literally want to get that painted picture I mentioned, instead of an aggregate of your individual achievements and skills. So linking everything would be my motivations...- Hazal

How to approach this 600 word question for Clifford Chance
Clifford Chance have chosen to be a bit radical this year by asking applicants (I believe it's their only question?): You have told us about your academic achievements and work experience and now, in no more than 600 words, we are keen to hear more about you. This should include your...- Hazal

So HSF is known to interview and assess all the way up to the week before the winter vac scheme. It's quite mean but there's still hope- Hazal

Yeah so CAB I've checked. I think the vacancy they had last was a weekday one. Beyond that, I'm not a law student so can't necessarily give any form of legal knowledge- Hazal

Fair enough. I've had a call before to let me know about a rejection but that firm did explicitly say whatever the outcome, it would be a phone call- Hazal

You know, I actually don't know? I just assumed it was an email because they didn't say anything about a phone call but could be either. Thank you! I kind of lose hope as the days go on haha- Hazal

I wholeheartedly agree, don't worry! Especially because I only have space in my working life for one summer vac scheme so it would be helpful to know and move on accordingly. Very hard :( every email notification I miss a heartbeat, only to find out it's just a CITY AM newsletter- Hazal

Commercial awareness or interview books?
2013/14 actually. The price difference was quite a bit so I read reviews about the difference between the two dates. The consensus was that not much changes so there's no point needing the updated one if you already had the other. Do you have either of the editions?- Hazal
