Hi Jessica,
Do law firms tend to care which year (our of the two before your TC starts) you do the LPC?
I would prefer to do the LPC straight away and then go travelling before the TC as I think the Covid situation will be better then. Im sure this will be a pretty common situation for people...
thanks for this, its a weird one. I originally applied to the Bristol scheme, but could no longer attend the dates so they said that if i was successful at interview they put me on a VS at another office but still assess me for the Bristol TC. They haven't made public the dates for any of the...
Hi Jessica,
Ive just been offered a VS and have 5 days to accept the offer. I did another AC at a different firm last Wednesday and haven't heard back from them yet (I actually prefer this firm). Is it worth me contacting them and telling them that I need to hear from them before the deadline...
Ok thats great thanks.
When taking notes during a competency interview, what are partners taking notes about exactly? May sound like a vague question, but are they rating it out of 10 or something? Do they make a note about the specific example you give in order to discuss it at a later date...
Hi Jessica,
I have couple of interviews coming up. Ive only done one interview so far, which was successful luckily. However id still like to know how I could improve, as they didn't give me any feed back other than telling me I got the VS.
Would it be weird if I asked them for my interview...
Also just got an AC invite. VI went horrendously, have literally no idea how someone could have watched it and thought 'yeah lets invite this bloke for an interview' lol. First AC so pretty nervous!
I also thought this, and then decided not to link them. However, do you think the question is also asking you to explain your decision for choosing commercial law as a career path? ("Please outline the reasons why you wish to pursue a career in commercial law" not simply "why Osborne Clarke")
Hey guys,
I have never been so stuck on a question! TLT's application includes: "Please choose a sector. What can the legal industry learn from this sector and in particular, what can TLT learn?"
I am trying to stay clear of talking about innovation in other sectors (particularly the Digital...
Hi Jessica,
I did a lot of work for Uber and Deliveroo as a bicycle courier during my degree, how would law firms check this employment history? I didn't actually have any contact with anyone from either company throughout my entire time there.
Thanks
Hi Jessica,
What are your views on people referencing money as one of their reasons for choosing a career in commercial law at interview? Do people ever do this?
Hi Jessica,
If a firm makes candidates re-take the WG test during an AC, is it likely that the benchmark or the way they use the result will be different in any way? What is the logic behind making people re-do the test?
Thanks :)
Hi guys just thought id mention that I only got 59th percentile on WG test, but still got an offer to HL BaSE Gold. They may not put that much weight on it. So when you take the test, chill. :)
