    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Haha it's okay - I knew it was a mess when they sent that report back! Ummm I think it was aroung 8500, BUT I have heard from a few people the score doesn't matter it's just a "fun element" that makes it seem more like a game! I wouldn't worry!

    Rejected from PwC. However I have been disillusioned with their silly game for some time now. Really lacks the diversity and inclusion they pride themselves on!

    No reason at all. I wasn't expecting to get through because my application wasnt it's best (I had to rush put of the could try for a funeral) but I was hoping for the little feedback thing they allegedly do!

    I really admire Jones Day, I don' think that a question about age is appropriate but i don't think this deems them terrible on the whole! Haha Camilla! You would think more life experience would be a sought after trait also. I can't imagine myself laughing at a couple of partners asking this...

    Okay Jessica, I am now having a moderate to large freak out about them asking me this- if NoJay is correct. Panic mode has set in. How does one respond, and what if my reasoning is not adequate?!

    paralegal interview- tips?

    Some basic tips, Have a genuine interest and willingness to learn about the area- it will be obvious if you're faking it. Generally the three interviews I've had for paralegal roles have been very conversational. By conversational I mean that we have needed up discussing the area of law...

    Thank you so much for this- You're right! Being an adult is a case of falling down multiple times but getting up again more quickly after each fall :)

    Does anyone have a list of firms that recruit off the back of a straight TC application? As most seem to want a VS done.
