Addleshaw Goddard AC!! If anybody has already done the AC and has any advice please message me, I would be really grateful to hear it!

 

[ellens]

nope, applied way back in December and thinking to email them lol

I spoke to one of the recruiters people when I applied as I had a question and they said it would be about two weeks after the deadline which was the 31st of January so it might be worth emailing them

Has anyone applied to Michelmore and have you heard back?

I applied and have not yet heard back post VI.

 

[sberry1992]

Does the Kennedys portal still say Situational Strengths Test for anyone else? Do you think that means it has been unsuccessful?

Mine says that yes, I am not holding out much hope now. I wasn't that confident but after such a long wait it's disappointing nonetheless.

I'm in the same boat - if you've found anything that's worked, please let me know

My current strategy is wine and chocolate

Hey! I've not been on this forum for a while so apologies if this has been repeated a lot recently but I just got a VI invite from White & Case for the summer scheme and I was wondering if anyone had any insight into what type of questions to expect?

hi congrats! - hate to ask but when did you apply?

Very well done!

My experience of the NRF AC (successful) was that it was split into 3 parts: an assessed negotiation, an interview (covering strengths, competencies and commercial awareness) with 2 partners, and a written case study.

I would advise consulting a few of the articles I've written in recent weeks for some starting points on all of these elements:

Does anyone know if Gibsons finished with ACs?

surely not lol idk if the forums are ready for my Gibson Dunn Haiku if they ghost me

 

[OEO]

I haven't heard anything, have you? I feel like they should get back to us quite soon since they said it was immediate start but I guess it depends how many applied!

Neither, I was thinking the same thing! I can imagine lots of people would have applied. Good luck!!
