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

    Also got a CC rejection! Followed all the advice from the Open Day this year so difficult to know where I went wrong.. they must have been looking for something very specific. Good luck with the rest of your apps everyone!

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

    I did one last week so feel free to DM me! It’s very different style to other ACs so there isn’t much you can do to prepare, although it definitely helps to know the firm really well.

    Has anyone else not heard anything from Ashurst post-tests for Winter VS? I assume they have filled all their places now but am wondering why I haven't heard since doing the tests on 27/10

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

    Yeah I did find it quite difficult to change my app too much as the questions were identical, and I figured what I wrote last year must have worked... How did you find out your WG score? I definitely will email them and ask as it would be good to know whether it was my WG score or app that I...

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

    Sorry to hear that! I also got to AC with them last year with my app, which was broadly similar just updated this year. I don’t know my WG score but it never has been an issue for me, so maybe they have a tendency not to interview people a second time? I was also quite disappointed as I had...

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

    Hi, I didn’t get an email afterwards saying whether I’d passed the benchmark, I just got a rejection email a few weeks later. I think your app and WG score are assessed together! Good luck :)

    Norton Rose Fulbright Winter Vac App

    I had the same issue - after I did my test it just froze and I wasn’t sure if it had submitted properly as there was no more questions or confirmation! But I emailed Pearson and they confirmed that my test had been submitted so I think it’s all good!

    Ashurst Application 2019

    Hi, I was just wondering how others approached outlining why you are applying to Ashurst in the covering letter, given there is a separate question 'How is Ashurst different to other firms you have applied to?' Would you suggest briefly explaining why you are applying in the covering letter...

    Resources to Practise the Watson Glaser Test

    I just completed a Watson Glaser test and was going over and checking my answers when the time ended and my page just froze. This has never happened to me before as normally I press submit before the end of the 30 mins. Does anyone know what this means - will my answers still have submitted even...
