I haven't heard anything from them, it's been months

Does anyone know the typical hours for King & Spalding? Can't seem to find anything online. Is there a lot of weekend work, do you get a life?

I'm wondering the same for Arnold & Porter.

has anyone heard from Shoosmiths (Manchester) post online test

 

[addy2004]

same, i thought the online test was automatically sent after submission? I havent heard anything tho.

I've not heard anything either, though their website says they primarily recruit from VS. I imagine once they finalise that, we should hear about DTCs

it's automatic but manually sent so it usually takes a while to receive it.
