    https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/hearing-back-from-firms-ac-interview-tips-share.709/page-4#post-4206 These are the questions that came up for me :) - I applied for summer

    Who do diversity schemes apply to?

    You will usually be able to tell if you are applicable because different schemes have different criteria. For example, I think for SEO you have to meet at least 2 criteria such as ethnic minority, attended state-school, parents' income is below a certain level and/or parents didn't go to...

    Not yet! I applied day before deadline though so I usually expect to hear in 2 to 3 weeks.

    Your biggest weakness

    No problem :). So at this point you would say what you've done to combat your weakness. Give examples etc. I think they're just looking for self-awareness, not the weakness itself, so knowing how to make yourself better is a good trait/sign.

    Your biggest weakness

    I would say...think of instances where you've felt uncomfortable in a scenario. For me, I'd look back to when I was working in retail and a customer was being difficult/rude and how I reacted to it. It requires some soul-seeking and being really critical with yourself. You're bound to be bad at...

    Thank you! That's annoying. But best of luck to you too if you decide to go for it

    No Word Count

    Oh very nice! I applied on 5th and haven't heard back yet so go for it. They must have extended it to get a few more applications in so you're still in a good position

    No Word Count

    Hey, isn't MoFo's deadline already past? (6th Jan). Or are you applying in a different country?

    Never too late in my opinion. There are quite a few examples from users on here sending it minutes before deadline and being invited to interview/AC

    Shearman & Sterling

    Hi Alice, For the first question, I think there are many approaches and all are OK as long as you have answered the question and refer back to it as many times as possible. It's not a case of saying what makes Shearman different, it's why that difference gives them an advantage, so don't lose...

    Summer Vacation Scheme Thread 2019

    Haha fair enough. What I mean though is, do you think the deadline is in 2 hours time from now so 15th Jan on the dot or end of the day 15th Jan? I always play safe with the latter :p

    Summer Vacation Scheme Thread 2019

    Anyone know what the official cut-off time is for CV Mail applications? This is specifically for Osborne Clarke. So, 12AM on 15th Jan or 11:59PM on 15th Jan?

    Taylor Wessing Questions

    I think some recruiters are impressed by this, I remember one firm saying so (possibly Macfarlanes). But I know others advocate that you stick to the question and save your word count. Essentially, I would see what I could do with the word count. Having said that though, if you read into the...

    That's so weird. I think Gmail is pretty trustworthy so maybe that's not it

    CV/Cover Letter Firms

    To add to this, if you don't have the name, but want to put in the effort to find it, LawCareersNET and Chambers Student usually have it somewhere. For Chambers, it's under their True Picture insights, under the "Firm Profile" tab I believe.
