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

[Andre]

No for summer vac scheme

Ok ok! I completed the test on 12/01 and have not heard yet for Direct TC

 

[skizzle]

Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with BLM AC? Would really appreciate any tips!

 

[JoNo]

Was this for direct TC 2022?

They are working through their vacation schemes first and then direct TCs. I think you should hear a response by the end of Feb/beginning of March. I know this, as my friend is a paralegal at HL!

Also invited to White & Case interview! Extremely shocked as I submitted my VI almost two weeks ago and had prepared myself for the rejection - don't give up hope if you're still waiting!

Just received a Kirkland rejection post-AC.

Hoping for better news in the coming weeks from other firms!

 

[Jen E C]

Thanks!, I applied for spring

 

[NickyRaykes]

emailed first, heard nothing and then followed up with a phone call and was told I should have already received the rejection. I spent more time on this one than any other application and content wise the people that have proof read it for me have commented how impressive it is, so I pressed for reasons for rejection and she said content was good but grades were insufficient. What a joke. Definitely makes you wonder if they even look at all applications.

Yeah that's deffo a joke! Sorry to hear that! They have lost their head of Grad Rec this year so maybe that's an explanation for the mess. This is clearly an error! I feel similar, my TW app is deffo my best one but I guess the game is the game!

Yes this was the same as me I had assumed it was a rejection! Good luck!!

That is useful! I thought that to be honest. Surely though if I had failed the test they would have rejected me by now?

 

[Mirela Mihova]

Just received a rejection from Covington which was the top of my list Good luck to anyone still waiting!

 

[bzheng]

VS offer from Covington!! 1st of the cycle!

I think today was the last round of RPC ACs

I had my AC at RPC and the recruiter said it was just today and Wednesday

 

[LawGirl]

No for summer vac scheme

When is your AC ? The closest one I could get was on the 5th of March. Really worried as they give offers on a rolling basis.

 

[Legallygrace]

Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with BLM AC? Would really appreciate any tips!

hey! What office was this for? When did you complete the WG?

 

[Miki3999]

I wonder if there will be any point in applying in to firms that have TC deadlines in July and are recruiting on the rolling basis. I don't want to submit rushed applications, but I just don't have time now :/ (especially for Macfarlanes who's application form is basically a summative essay.)

 

[Daniel Boden]

Also just been rejected from Kirkland post-AC. Pretty gutted I won't lie as I really thought they were the firm for me and felt I performed well on the AC . Hopefully the opportunity to get feedback will be useful!

Definitely going to use this as motivation for my interviews with Travers Smith and Gibson Dunn next week!

Hope others had better news but Friday evening rejections suck!!!

That’s the thing you just don’t know, it just all seems random sometimes

So Sorry to hear, did you get some feedback? I hope you smash your interviews next week. Onwards and upwards
