Anyone head from travers’ smith post app?

 

[Kubed]

Do it with a tip sheet in front of you to remind you of what to think when you're answering each section of the test - I did that and it really helped me! Would be happy to send over a word document myself and a friend put together if that'd be helpful?

Sorry to be jumping on this but I'd be grateful for a copy as well if that's ok? Thanks a lot

Anyone heard from Addleshaw post VI?

 

[Bugsy Malone]

I’m still waiting too! And I’ve been seeing quite a few people being moved to the case study stage

Okay phew, I'm not the only one! I think people had completed the case study before I was invited to VI last year, so they're probably just doing it in stages and we're still being considered! Hope you hear good news soon

Umm to be honest I would've said "I'm sorry but we don't share the results externally" in the second email.

I know it seems like a detail but having worked as a lawyer in another jurisdiction for 3 years I'd say those things matter.

I do understand it's probably a cultural thing haha I'll just have to get used to English graduate recruiters.

I think it can come across as quite blunt if you're not used to it and I think it takes all of us a while to get used to at first!

Rest assured, malice is not intended

Yes definitely. I arrived in the UK in October to start my LLM so it's definitely been super frantic haha.

Thanks for being nice though! It's been tough so empathy is always appreciated

Nope nothing! I’m still waiting for a response post app. I applied on 4th December

I got my PFO today from my written app : )

PwC video interview invite! [not sure if this is automated or not... thought I'd completely screwed up the test though]

Same - feeling slightly less cheesed off about that Gowling Rejection now...

 

[ZaraB]

PwC VI interview invite!! Would appreciate any wisdom/insight from anyone from last year who completed it!

Kinda concerned as I should be getting this as I am on a fast track application... anyone else in the same position?

 

[Callum Tanton-parham]

Not the answer to your question, but when did you receive your AC invite?

28th Jan!

 

[jan28]

joining the queue of people... haha would you mind sending a copy over to me too please?

 

[rb26]

After receiving 2 rejections earlier today, I finally got some positive news getting a VI invite for PwC baby steps!

 

[Matt_96]

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Pinsent Masons? I haven't heard anything today...

I just got a rejection from PM. My 7th of the cycle so far......sigh.

You're welcome. Bloody hell I hope you're coping well with the lockdowns in a new country!

Literally clicked off TCLA for a moment and came across this, absolutely awful coincidence - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55854459

Have Willkie given any indication what percentage they invite to video interview, and from there to AC?

Not necessarily about percentages but fro further context most people on here who got VIs applied before December. Since then, next stage invites have been given out. Seems they took rolling basis quite literally
