Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Frank]

For those waiting to hear from Sidley - just spoke with HR, they've said that no news doesn't mean we've been rejected. They might not have reached the app yet or made a decision. If we're unsuccessful, they won't make the candidates wait. So no news is (hopefully) good news

in total shock but have an A&O TC AC next week - if anyone at all can help me I would be so grateful! It is my second to last shot this cycle so I would be so thankful for any insights and tips for prep!!!

Congrats Alice. Good news at last. I hope it goes well.

For those waiting on Skadden, at their open evening, they said they say it's rolling just so they can manage the workload easier but they only hand out Assessment Day invites after the deadline. Their deadline is tonight so I imagine everyone should hear back by next Friday.

So so happy for you Alice - go get it !!!!!

Has anyone completed a Weil video interview this cycle?

Yes I did. There were only 2 questions and they were Why Weil/What sets them apart and Why Commercial law? I think there was 1 minute to think and 1.5 minutes to answer

Rejection from CMS I didn't reach the benchmark for the critical reasoning test. But I have got a video interview at AG so hopefully that goes better.

Alice - when is it? I am catching up with an ex-A&O colleague soon (who has far more recent insight than me), so can ask them

I haven’t either

I also haven't heard. When did you guys apply?

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

Interesting... I applied to Dechert in early November but still nothing so not very optimistic about them but we shall see. Fingers crossed for the others!

You could be in a hold pile
They could be rubbish at turning people down
You could have got "lost" in the system due to a technical or human error fault

I also haven't heard. When did you guys apply?

I applied early December. I hope we hear back soon
