    Knowledge Paralegal Interview

    Hi all, I have an interview for a Knowledge Management Paralegal position at Clyde & Co on Monday (entry level) - has someone interviewed for such a role? I am not sure what questions to expect/prepare for - any advice would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks, Mirela

    Received a Friday at 17:30 rejection from Skadden post AC interview and written exercise :( It hurts a lot as I genuinely thought this was my firm. I'm still waiting on Gibson Dunn and V&E post application but I am not super hopeful. Hence this might be the end for me during this application...

    Might be a stupid question but what exactly do I say in an email/phone call to a firm asking for updates? I don't want to sound too pushy but it's been a month of waiting ... :confused:

    I just got an invite for a VI with W&C!!! I had almost written it off as it was a month of waiting. Does anyone have any insights/tips for it? Would be much appreciated :)

    I'm still waiting for a response post application - stay positive! :) I remember someone mentioning here that V&E said they'll inform people around the end of Feb.

    I saw the other responses afterwards yes! I have no idea in this case, I had met the firm (both graduate recruiters actually) and I thought my application was good - maybe they want a specific combination of strengths? I can only guess :D

    I did the tests for Mayer Brown earlier this month, got average results for all VRT components except for one. For the SJT my top three strengths were work ethic, attention to detail and collaboration - I got a rejection a few days after :( Hence why I do think that they look for above average...

    The interview is next week while the ACs will be happening in London, the written exercise would be at a later point :)

    I applied the day before the deadline but I have no news yet, maybe they will be sending invites over the course of this week!

    Rejection from Shearman but Skadden made a huge gesture by making me do a video conference interview instead and a timed written exercise by email. This is my first interview with a partner/associate ever and my first written exercise so any tips would be much appreciated! :)

    I picked spring as my first choice, summer as second so I guess spring? I'm not entirely sure how it works

    I asked whether I can have it at a later time but they told me they are holding ACs between 10th-13th Feb only :( I want to ask if they could move me to a direct TC application but I don't think the chances are high, they have a separate AC application closing in summer ...
