anyone heard back from CMS post WG?

 

[Vakil]

My interviewer was really lovely and it was very conversational. But I defo stumbled in places and waffled on some answers so not super confident

Agreed. It was such a good interview experience. Relaxed, fair, and conversational.

Is there anyone who applied to Slaughters in or before the first week of October and hasn't heard back at all?

 

[sans]

Has anyone completed the Irwin Mitchell online assessment video interview? If so, what type of questions did they ask?

 

[WeGotThis!]

Has anyone heard from Gowling WLG?

 

[applicant3000]

Have there been anymore Slaughters DTC interview invitations? Especially thinking about those who applied in October!

Hi!

Whilst I’m not too sure if Travers Smith are rolling or non-rolling, it’s definitely not too late even if they are rolling! Most firms will receive the majority of their applications close to the deadline, and the most important aspect is submitting a strong application that you are confident about

They advertised as and have historically been non rolling then they invited a bunch of people to first stage interview.

Are there any international candidates applying to CMS? I have a few questions about the eligibility

 

[RJ Ruban]

For people who applied to Freshfields direct TC, is anyone still waiting for their test (automatic if I'm correct) invite?

I read on another thread they do a screening first and see if you are eligible then send short list you. I heard back like a week after for the assessment!
