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

[Al1793]

I'm not sure but emailed grad recruitment and they said the following and I did mention that my portal was updated:

We are still in the process of interviewing for the vacation scheme and we will shortly start reviewing training contract applications. As soon as we have an update for you, we will be in touch. This is likely to be over the next few weeks.

This was Freshfields btw

Sorry for chase up question, did they say this after you'd been invited for WG or had you received no response? Bit confused too as so many people seem to already have TC AC invitations :/

I’ve only heard of one person with a TC AC invite and that’s @MVE49 who was invited late this aft! Are you sure they’re not VS AC invites?

I had received no response but my portal was updated

I think a few of us are in this position. No WG and portal updated . Seems that some are VS bit done TC?
No idea

 

[Caitlin]

Congrats Caitlin! Do you mind sharing if this was for direct TC or VS?

VS

No news is good news tbh. I have seen that some have received rejections pre-WG. We havent! So let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best

 

[Alexahills]

Hey there. Mind if I ask if this is for a VS or direct TC? I'm still waiting to hear back after their SJT and VRT for direct TC. Thanks!

I am still waiting as well :/

 

[Shane]

I am still waiting post WG on FF so if anyone else is in the same boat please let me know.

I'm the same, but I just did the WG on Thursday..so not really sure how long it will take to hear back if they are reassessing are application in light of our WG scores. Hopefully we hear back soon though !

Thanks so much for responses! Really appreciated. Favourite firm by such a long way so possibly agonising over it disproportionately... time to relax a bit and keep fingers crossed

Hi, just wondering if you had a confirmation email once you had completed the WG for FF? I got an email when I first started it, but nothing once I had finished and I'm worried that it hasn't gone through...

[ZH]

No idea, I only know that I wasn't successful haha

Sorry to hear this but well done still on getting the AC - was just wondering whether they gave you feedback and any advice you would give on AC prep?

Thanks!

 

[ZH]

Waiting for AC outcome. They said around 10 business days. Yourself?

Yes, they said that to us as well! I expect some people will get notified this week

Any advice on how you guys found the AC / tips for prep?

Thanks!
