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

[Jenna]

Just got a Linklaters AC invite for Spring. Applied in early December, WG percentile in the high-50s

Congrats! This sounds exactly like me. What was your result from CAP?

 

[Andre]

People are getting AC invites for Hogan Lovells but still nothing for me despite having done the test on 12/01. I am just thinking because the people who are getting ACs are for summer VS and I am for TC, should I expect a response later?

 

[CharG]

Does anyone know what questions are asked on Dechert's Video Interview?

 

[Rachel S]

Congrats and all the best for the AC! May I ask when you completed the VI for Weil? Also, is it for the spring or summer VS?

Thanks very much! I did a VI early January and it is for a Spring vacation scheme.

Was expecting to hear the outcome of an AC yesterday (when they said they'd let us know) but they've emailed today saying it'll take another week as they're still reviewing. Not sure if this is a good/bad thing... have I been put on hold whilst they do more ACs?

 

[Ratish S]

Strength: Motivation and Resilience
Weakness: Resource/Work Management

I know people with all combinations of strengths and weakness who got invited, so take this with a pinch of salt

Pinsent Masons VS offer! Third cycle of applications and first ever VS secured - can't believe it! If I can assist anyone with the process, please reach out .

Congrats! Which office was it for?

Yes. They told me they arent looking at direct TCs yet.

Thank you. It's in Glasgow.

Yes. They told me they arent looking at direct TCs yet.

I actually did a direct TC AC on Tuesday at HL which they told us was the first one of the cycle. Might be because I applied for the 2021 intake though?

Amazing! Expect interviewers with a range of personalities!! I had the loveliest competency interviewer then two of the scariest men I've ever encountered in my whole life who smiled probably twice (I mean once each) during the case study and situational looool. It was very hard not to just say 'are you actually ok today? is everything ok at home?'

I believe they also had a direct TC AC in December. Yours might have been the first of the year though.

Any one applied to Freshfields? My application status on the Taleo portal "has been updated" 2 days ago but I have heard nothing from them. I have no idea whether this is a good sign or not. My experience with Taleo tells me that an "update" on the app portal equals an email with the decision but this time there is nothing.

 

[DavidJC]

@Jaysen knew I wasn't the only one

I could've sworn I read somewhere that they could be used to redeem application reviews and other rewards somewhere then as soon as I started collecting them I couldn't find that post anymore and I wonder if I was just hallucinating

 

[Mirela Mihova]

If any one has any experience with Covington AC it would be much appreciated!

Congrats on getting the AC! I'm still waiting to hear back, can I ask when did you apply?

eversheds

Does anyone know whether HSF ACs are rolling in that I should book the earliest AC date available to have better chance? I booked the latest date and now wondering whether I should maybe change it to earlier one? Thanks x
