    Linklaters PFO post AC.. I have another AC tomorrow but got the call today and I'm feeling so gutted I can't think straight. How do I let this PFO go and focus on my next AC? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, am feeling quite disheartened right now. 😥

    I sent out applications to HL & Macfarlanes over the last few days and have not received a test invite from either of them... as the deadline is approaching I'm wondering if I should be worried/email GR.

    W&C PFO 😭 Also, does anyone have advice on drafting an email to a firm to let them know you can't attend an event? I just received an invitation to the Gibson Dunn open day, but this coincides with the Freshfields Graduate Workshop, which I've already confirmed my attendance for. I'm quite...

    Congrats, I also got an invite! I got an email from Dechert today too letting me know they've filled up their WVS but are still in the process of reviewing my application, so will roll it to the Spring/Summer Schemes. Has anyone else received this email?

    I have a few interviews for WVS coming up and I'm a little bit anxious as I've never attended a law firm interview - I'm hoping the nerves won't make me trip over my own feet under the pressure! Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare for interviews with HR & partners respectively? Thank...

    Hi, I have an upcoming AC with Cleary! I addressed my cover letter to Graduate Recruitment and submitted my academic transcript separately, with minimal grade breakdown on my CV. Hope this helps 😊
