Do you or anyone know how soon are the London AC invites? Because that’s a week away. What’s the notice usually like

It’s just strange that no one else here has already got an invite to AC for the bham office?
Does anyone know if they’re likely to hand out more invites next week?

 

[LegalLordLox]

Well she got invited on Wednesday and it was for an AC which was on 2 feb! She couldn’t attend so emiLed them to ask for alternative dates.

I also find it odd that no one on here has had any info on the Birmingham office, I'm trying to remain hopeful that they have more places for next week but I don't want to get my hopes up.

Also applied to Birmingham and have not heard anyone else from Birmingham have any feedback yet

I applied to the London one and also got a rejection (today around 4.30pm). Oh well, wasn't meant to be. Will be applying for more vac schemes this weekend. Also, I found it quite unprofessional of them to make us wait over 3 weeks, I understand it takes time but they could have sent a holding email to us. I had some technical issues with the video interview as well (one of the questions froze and had to get in touch with their IT support, they resolved it but it ruined the experience) plus I didn't get an automated email after completing the video interview and had to get in touch with them to confirm they got it. Overall, the whole experience was bad so it makes me feel better about the rejection now

Omg same! My question 2 cut out and then I had to go back and finish it after I completed the interview. I feel like they were very unprofessional in having us wait so long.

Yep, I got tech issues, too. I had to contact IT support a couple of times. I did not get the confirmation email, either.

Apparently waiting another week....

Received my rejection last night also, can't say I'm not surprised. Well done and good luck to everyone who got AC's!!!

Is anyone on the AC for London on the 9th at half 1. Would love to make some friends before hand 😊

I am sorry to hear this. Which office did you apply to?

 

[a4049]

Does anyone know if there’s going to be an interview in the AC or is it just the drafting exercise and group exercise?

 

[Aspiring.lawyer.to.be]

There is a competency interview with HR

 

[Aspiring.lawyer.to.be]

Case study interview interview is on final day of vac scheme

 

[Aspiring.lawyer.to.be]

All the best with your ACs!

 

[LegalLordLox]

Good luck everyone who got through to the AC! Don’t forget to let us all know how it went!
