[QUOTE="eleven14og, post: 164260, member: 18458"] I did take some time off applications for the past week but I heard from a lot of the firms I applied to! Starting off with good news: Taylor Wessing AC invite! yay my first AC this cycle and also the first one since i graduated! RPC WG invite Fieldfisher online test invite Also got PFO from Macfarlanes and WFW. Kinda expected the one from Macfarlanes. I did attend some events at the firm but I didn't really have much to say when answering why firm. I had a hard time convincing myself let alone grad rec. So I think even though it is a numbers game, genuine interest in the firms is still pretty important. I know it may not be the best strategy as someone who may be kicked out the the country in 10 months. But I don't think I can pretend to be interested in something and be happy with it. Also not so good at acting so grad rec would definitely tell if I'm faking it lol With WFW I'm a bit surprised cuz I got to VI last summer for their direct TC. They changed their questions and I think I answered them pretty well. Although as part of the why firm question, they asked which area of work I'm interested in. I tend to struggle answering questions like this as it felt like naming deals for the sake of it. But tbh I think my app is pretty solid so maybe it's because i didnt pass VI for direct TC? Anyways rejections are normal just need to keep moving forward. [/QUOTE]
