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

    Not sure about Dentons but Paul Hastings says on its website that they only contact people who are successful. I reckon they will take their time in responding though because they have a whole year's worth of applications to read as they only read applications after the deadline.

    Sorry I have no idea if they recruit on a rolling basis. I don't think so though because I sent my application on the date of the deadline, wouldn't recommend doing that though!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I came across this question: What are you expecting to gain from a career in law? Is this similar to the 'Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?' question? My answers to both questions seem to be similar e.g. building a certain skill-set and client base.

    Hi, How long did you have to complete the Watson Glaser test? Was it 30mins to complete 40 questions? Also Freshfields said to complete it 'by Wednesday 7th August' - do you know if this is close of business or midnight on the 7th? Thanks in advance!

    Amount of work experience

    Yeah, I rather not give up this job I think it will be more beneficial for me in the future to have industry knowledge, but I am unsure as to how picky law firms are.
