Just got a holding email - when is your interview?

Mine is next week. In the email, there was a link to book slots. But the interview is not with Dentons HR, they have outsourced it to a recruiter, seems odd.

 

[Jenna]

Yep both are TC x

Can I ask when you applied to Dentons?

 

[Ifmhouse4]

trowers AC got cancelled in London because of corona

I just got that how annoying! But they said they’re making alternative arrangements so I think it will be video interviews etc

 

[Pallatablelawyer]

WBD rejection. Expected as I had no idea how to answer that question

 

[Ratish S]

there is a paywall. anyone have access?

Sorry there wasn't one when I uploaded. The other link was basically talking about Taylor Wessing closing their office after a positive case of coronavirus.

 

[FutureCity]

Has anyone done a VI with DAC Beachcroft and has information to share? Thanks.

If anyone is feeling bad about rejections, I have received 12/14 rejections this cycle! It’s not my time right now but that’s ok

Same on the invite. Nearly breaking my spacebar blowing up those balloons was worth it after all.

What do you mean by weird? Do you know how many there will be, and how long we get for each?

 

[Shaz]

Rejected by WBD - their test was a very strange one...

I've just gone through the set up and tried a practice question. Looks like it is 4 questions, 45 seconds to prep and 90 seconds to answer.

Rejected from WBD. Really disappointed I thought it was one of my best apps....

Dentons delayed my AC for vac scheme to 27th march (it was first shifted from 27th feb to 20th march and now due to covid-19 they have shifted to 27th March) hence 2 delays. but someone on here said they are full for Vac so howcome they're still interviewing me for Vac S?? Any help on this (sorry I am panicking) @Jessica Booker

I just want state that take everything said on this forum with a grain of salt. Everyone is in the same position as you and speculate to make themselves feel better

They may have said it is full knowing they have a number of ACs to complete, so are just not interviewing anyone else, so there are some spots left for those who have already been scheduled.

If you still have an AC with them, regardless of what anyone says/thinks, they still have places on offer for a VS.

If this wasn't true it would be a great financial/time cost commitment to the firm for effectively no result. They're not really in the business of creating practice AC sessions for everyone!

I hope it goes well
