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

    Have Shearman & Sterling invited anyone else to AC? I’ve only heard of a few, really fast to hear back since the deadline was 19th! (I haven’t heard anything yet)

    Thanks so much for the encouragement! It has definitely given me confidence as I wasn’t even going to apply to CC as I thought I had no hope of making the AC! However being so close is perhaps more upsetting! Yeah I got some good feedback it all came down to my misunderstanding of one...

    Are you going to reapply next year? I really have my heart set on CC but I’m not sure where they stand in regards to reapplying after interview stage.

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

    No I didn’t have a Scottish woman. Both mine were Male. I don’t think my partner interview was unfairly difficult I just unfortunately didn’t prepare well enough in the hour we were given :/

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

    Shearman & Sterling only closed applications last night and I believe they don’t assess on a rolling basis (I may be wrong) so we will probably hear in the coming weeks.

    So disappointing when all the other feedback was great! Everything happens for a reason even if we don’t know what that reason is yet :)

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

    Wow crazy competitive. I only did well in one interview out of the two, with stats like that I’d imagine you have to be on point with both.

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

    Has anybody heard back from CC post AC for TC? We were told we would hear *by* Friday but apparently they are not contacting anybody until the last interviews are finished? Usually successful candidates are contacted the next day or is that just for VS?
