    Is anybody in the know re O'Melveney?

    I am wondering if they are opening TC route, on one TC deadlines site it says they are. However, on their site it looks as though not...

    @Jessica Booker hi Jessica I was hoping maybe you had some advice for me. I have just received an invite for an interview for a paralegal role at Farrer & Co. I was wondering whether you had any tips for an interview which includes knowledge and competency based questions as well as a presentation. Do you think the interview will be similar questions to TC interviews I’ve done before? Thanks :)

    When is it reasonable for a candidate to contact graduate recruitment for an update post-AC? Asking for a friend.

    Person in question did interview on 20 March and was told to expect an outcome after 3-4 weeks - still hasn't heard anything.

    Hi @Jessica Booker,

    Hope you are doing well.

    I attended an assessment centre ('AC') for a law firm in February and am still waiting to receive a response regarding the status of my application. While browsing on LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago, I found out that one of the attendees of the AC immediately received an offer a week after attending the AC (per industry norm); however, I am relatively perplexed by why I have not received a rejection email yet. I tried contacting graduate recruitment multiple times, but they ignored my emails.

    Being experienced in the field of recruitment, I have two questions for you:

    (a) Is it normal for firms to abstain from sending rejection emails to attendees of ACs who have been unsuccessful, and should the lack of communication be interpreted as rejection?

    (b) Similarly, from a recruitment perspective, is there an explanation for why they have yet to send a rejection email? For example, the firm is waiting for offer holders to confirm whether they are interested in accepting.

    Kind regards,
    Abdulla

    Still no one received a VI from BM?
    Wondering the same, also considering they’ll probably give people a week to complete the VI and that their first AC is on 16 May. To me, it seems like they’re running a bit behind schedule! I think the deadline for everyone to take the WG test was today though…
