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

[Serah O]

You go!! Such a great firm and just have confidence! I believe @Daniel Boden had an AC with Macfarlanes last year and probably wrote a very good interview summary on it so definitely squeeze all the TCLA knowledge!!

Thank you. I definitely will

Have you done the SST?

I’ve not been sent it yet so I’m getting really worried do you think I should call?

Have you logged into you apply4law, it might already be there. If not and you applied a while ago, drop an e-mail to GR.

Just got invited to the Mishcon de Reya case study! Interviewed late December, applied early November. Any tips on how to prepare? Very scared, this is my first case study and MDR is my first choice

Just seen that Roll on Friday survey results are out today https://www.rollonfriday.com/news-c...ear-2020-results-reveal-most-lawyers-arehappy

May help those deciding on firms before 31st deadline. Not convinced how reliable the rankings are though....

Two amazing news today! Got through to White & Case VI and received an invite to Macfarlanes' AC. This would be my 2nd AC this year. I'm so happy because I've never had more than one AC in a recruitment cycle before!
Massive thank you to Jaysen for reviewing my application.

I just had a phone call with the Grad Rec for Macfarlanes so if you want my notes just PM me

Are macfarlanes doing 1st stage phone interviews this year??

 

[JoNo]

Are macfarlanes doing 1st stage phone interviews this year??

No I’m assuming Alan is referring to a post-AC feedback call

They just do a direct AC after a successful application submission

Just to clarify, if the deadline to complete a VI is 28 Nov 00:00, that refers to midnight between the 28/29, and not 27/28 right?

(Also, any and all tips for W&C VI would be immensely appreciated!!!!)
