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

Does anyone else overthink a lot after an AC/interview? Had one today and thought it went well but starting to think about anything that could have gone wrong :D

I really relate this! I left one feeling very positive, aware of a few things that I’d like to change if I did it again. Hours later..days later... pulling apart of everything in my head hahaha

Congrats!! May I ask when you applied?
I applied in October but they've only been reviewing apps following the December open day! I also think that they're only responding to people who are available to interview at certain times i.e. there's a section on the form at the beginning that asks you to list dates you're not available to interview and I'd forgotten I'd said I wasn't available to interview in January due to exams so if you haven't heard back yet that might be why!

In the course of the last 24 hours:

- I had a VI and at some point I had a cough fit which took over 15 second from my answer and I kept on sneezing throughout the rest of the interview. So, apparently having an interview when you're sick is not the best idea, kids.

- I got a rejection following an application that I spent hours on and then received an AC invite for the one that took me 30min to write.

- I spilled coffee on my light grey carpet and I have been googling how to get rid of stains ever since. The stain is still there, nothing works. I am planning on moving the furniture around and passing this burden to the next tenant. #oops

Life can be quite funny sometimes.

Well done!!
What firm did you receive the AC invite with? :)
