[AP2000]

1. anyone know when Taylor Wessing are running AC's until?
2. anyone know when white & case typically start getting back to people for the summer vacs post initial app?

happy tuesday folks!

Not sure about precise date for TW, but until March.

At this point, I mentally checked out of RS. But I got nothing yet, hope I hear back by the end of today so I can get it out of the way. Did anyone receive an AC during the rapid-fire rejection streak?

Ah good luck! I'll be so glad if someone 'comes out alive' out of this mass extinction event

 

[x0.nora98]

Has anyone had an AC with Gowling today?

 

[manchester12]

AG VI (Manchester)! Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare or if the questions were mainly competency-based?

Well done!! It is more just about you and why you're interested in the firm at least mine was anyway!

Anyone had any Gowling London office PFOs yet? (Not-so) patiently waiting for a response...

Hey guys I received an email from BCLP. It's my feedback report from the online assessment. Does this have anything to do with me progressing to the next stage?

There isn't anything conclusive about the email. The report showed 3 of my highest scoring strengths and 1 of my lowest scoring ones. Is my application still under review?

yes, they will invite to a first stage interview if you met the benchmark!

Hi, are you referring to the online assessment?

Nope, they will reply to her VI after their AC (10 February) because they may invite more people. So expect Reed Smith 2.0..PFOs storm

Does anybody know anything about the K&L Gates recruitment process. Seems difficult to find any info about it online.

What's peoples advice on answering the question have you had any VC offers or TC offers already when asked in interview. Is it worth being very vague and answering truthfully but just leaving it at yes or no as the case may be and then only saying anymore of asked a follow up question. Or is it best to name the firm/s and then say something about your commitment to the firm your interviewing at. Any advice would be appreciated as had an interview today and went really well but then kinda of ended on a bit of sour note when the interviewer said I have one final question which was that.

 

[Asil Ahmad]

BCLP open day rejection but am not too fussed about it as it is an open day.

 

[stemlawgal]

Or a silver lining for those who haven't got a PFO today...

 

[emilyrose99]

so sorry to hear that, is this for the summer vs?

For spring

same I thought the whole aspect of having to release last year's assessment scores very annoying. I performed quite average in those tests because it was my first time taking Eevelian assessments. With more experience, I think I would have performed better and would have had a good chance of making it to the next round as my cover letter was strong but nope they had to be annoying about this.

I haven't heard anything and I applied in October. From my research, it's an application and then an interview. You're right that it is all very vague.

I've been to two open days with them and can send you notes if you'd like
