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

[NSinger]

Any ideas on how would you answer a question about falling behind on a piece of work?

Not sure! It’s odd because one of my friend had his status updated when he received the WG invite and it wasn’t updated beforehand. Then, I’ve seen some who have had their portals updated and a day later received a WG invite strange..


I’m curious to know has anyone on here received a rejection from FF!!!

Yes, a couple of weeks ago, post-application for summer. Didn't check the portal.

1. Checklists to stay organized.
2. If deadline is not terribly urgent, renegotiate the deadline.
3. Extra time at the end if the day to do the task.

That's how I structured my interview answers.

Does anyone have any advice for the White & Case AC! I'd greatly appreciate any advice/experiences, especially for the written task!

I'd be interested to know as well!!

Has anyone been rejected by V&E yet?

Has anyone been to an AC for Hogan Lovells for a 2022 direct TC?

For anyone still waiting on DLA Piper, I think we should assume it’s a PFO, as couple of people have emailed them and they responded back saying they were rejected already, but apparently no emails were sent off! But take this as a pinch of salt, although I would assume it’s a PFO by now as a lot of offers have been given out! and their emails about waiting “2 weeks” is absurd!

Yeah I just got a rejection email saying they have filled all their places

Anyone done a B & B AC recently? Would love some tips if anyone has some...

 

[M1999]

didn’t get a rejection email from DLA piper and don’t think I will ever get one but taking it as a rejection.

Rejection from Shearman but not too bothered as it was a last-minute application!

 

[Abgaal]

Rejection from Shearman

 

[Samar]

Shearman rejection

Thank you for your application to the Shearman & Sterling Spring/Summer Vacation Scheme. With limited spaces, competition is fierce and unfortunately we have decided not to progress with your application at this time.

Just completed the Bakers VI, the questions were all competency based and were actually so nice! Wasn't even asked why law why us. STAR will help you a lot. Have a bank of examples at the ready. Breathe, relax and put your notes on the split screen.

Anyone heard back from Ashurst?

 

[STWO]

Has anyone been rejected by V&E yet?

Has anyone been to an AC for Hogan Lovells for a 2022 direct TC?

Nope not yet, but i feel like the rejection is coming haha!

Ditto on the Shearman rejection!

can someone please help me in listing a couple of agencies that help find paralegal roles? I’ve heard there are a few out there and I was advised to be a member of a few to increase my chances of getting one. So far I’m just part of F-lex and it’s been some months but haven’t had an opportunity from them yet. Any recommendation is welcome
