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

    hey, it’s not stupid at all! I usually access it by going to the Freshfields graduate careers page, click “apply” and that will take you to the portal. Then you click “my jobpage” to see your application(s) :)

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

    Hey everyone! I have a question - I’ve applied for a TC at Freshfields, and my portal has been updated a few days ago but I haven’t received a WG test invite. Does this mean that I can expect a rejection email? Thanks! :)

    Yeah I’d assume that the Dechert VS is quite competitive - but like you said, it would be nice to get a reply! Their application form took quite some effort too

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

    Hi Daniel! :) Just out of curiosity, did you ever hear back from Dechert? I applied for the VS too (sent in my app in December), and haven't heard back. I sent an email to the Graduate Recruitment team two weeks ago, and still haven't received a response. Btw, I had a similar situation when I...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hi Judy, I thought I'd jump in - for the CAPP assessment, you'll get the report automatically; for the WG test you need to request a report from the grad rec team! Hope this helps :)

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hi Sammie! It is very strange indeed haha! I just checked my feedback report for the WG test, and you're absolutely right - it says maximum time allowed is 30 mins! Mine wasn't timed but I completed it within 15-20 mins - I am wondering if there would have been a "cut-off" if I would have gone...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Hahah I’m glad I’m not the only one! No I didn’t request any reasonable adjustments, but there definitely wasn’t a timer when I was doing a test (I think I checked after every single question just to make sure ) and the instructions didn’t mention any time limit... very confusing :/

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Mine was not timed, I spent 15-20 mins on it, but I’m not sure whether time is taken into account :) I’m really confused - How can it be that it was timed for some people, and not for others?! It’s very odd :/

    Simmons & Simmons video interview

    Congrats on completing the VI, I hope it went well! And sorry again for not replying sooner, I am new to TCLA so I didn't even know you could receive notifications for someone replying to your post lol! Re the AC invite, yes that was a typo - I meant to say that I did my VI around 30th October...
