    Hi there, Does anyone have any tips for Jones Day's interview? I have mine in a few days and I start getting a bit stressed. As I am not even British/don't live in the UK, nobody in my surrounding has ever experienced an interview like that/I don't have any feedback... The bottom line is, I'd...

    Jones Day

    I am sorry about that, but as someone from this forum told me earlier 'your name is on another firm's TC list' ;). Thank you very much! Ah, I completely hear you & I think it is a good sign they asked for a reference. I read many times that they don't ask everybody who applies. So you're just...

    Hey, I just received the email asking for the reference. But they mentioned the following 'we have indicated to your referee that an early response would be helpful, ideally within 10 days of our request.' so I don't think you should have to worry! I hope you'll be succesful! ;)

    Mayer Brown Tests

    Hey, just to let you know that I received my report for the assessment this morning (took the tests on 23/12). I achieved an average score on each category - so not that great but I was expecting it ahahah. And in the email, they added 'We will be in touch again in due course regarding the...

    Yes, on the application! & as LawDudeForce mentioned, they might be the only ones to do so. ‘We aim to provide all students with guidance on how to improve their application. As a result, please find below feedback which we hope you will find useful.’

    Yes, Thanks for the clarification. I was just referring to the last bit of the email mentioning that my application was ‘strong’ when wondering if it was generic or not! :)

    Just got rejected from BCLP. It's a bit disappointing, but it is super nice to have a feedback. They said I didn't know enough about the firm & didn't show a clear enough understanding of their 'DNA'. They also added 'We would like to take this opportunity to highlight that we considered your...

    So, do you think we'll automatically be invited to the phone interview if we pass the tests?

    I don't think you can prepare really. Personally, I found it a bit overwhelming & I did not do well at all. There are 3 parts and each of them is composed of mini-games (one is about recognising emotions on one's face, another is about matching calculations (if they're equal to the same number)...

    Mayer Brown Tests

    I actually understood the very same, but I had to wait 1 month to receive the invite (application: 20/11 - invitation to tests: 23/12). + The email reads the following : 'I am pleased to inform you that we would like to progress you to the next stage in our recruitment process.' Now I am...
