This is not an application related but is it only me or anyone else finding the forum slow today when posting or reacting to posts. As I have been finding the loading stuff on the forum really slow today compared to usual.
Thank you! would you mind me asking what type of questions were involved in the VI? (eg. Competency, Strength-based, Commercial Awareness)
doesn't seem to be the case at my end - perhaps check your connection?
Anyone got any idea what’s happening with Womble Bond Dickinson and when they plan to open their app process?
I’ve been grilled somewhere else previously specifically because I have one grade below a 2:1 😭 so I would prepare just incase!
Just received a rejection from a final round interview I did last week, way to knock my confidence the day before I have an AC :/
Updated on WBD application just rang up their graduate recruitment and they said that they are opening applications by the end of this week hopefully. He said that they are making changes to make it easier for applicants to use the application portal.
Don't worry you lose some and gain some think about getting that dream call and take a break this evening it might helpful.
I got grilled about my 2:2 grade from 2nd year of English and my 78 for my employment law module so be prepared to explain why you got your highest mark as well!
Thats rough, and rejections after getting so far through the process always seem to hurt a bit more than that early post app PFO. Make sure you take some time to be kind to yourself and take pride in the fact that you got so far and are an in demand candidate as you have another AC lined up already! Perhaps it could be a motivator leading you to perform even better in tomorrows AC as you don't have the other role as a back up anymore.
Hi, I know this sounds cliche but it really does just take that one phone call. Once you get that one offer, your entire attitude towards interviews, AC rejections etc changes. I did like 6-7 ACs before getting any success and it really tanked my confidence, until I got the call a few hours after my GDC final round. A few days later, I got rejected from Weil post AC, but my attitude towards rejection became much more "positive" (for lack of better words). My focus really shifted away from self-criticism and towards seeking feedback ASAP, reflecting on whether the firm was really right for me etc. So please do keep persisting - don't let the rejection affect your AC tomorrow.
If I may ask, which firm interviewed you? And are you by any chance on the Baker McKenzie AC tomorrow? If you are, then I'll see you there!
Have you done the VI? How did you find it, and any tips? I've got one at the end of this weekDoes anyone have any tips / guidance for the Eversheds VI? Thank you
