Any tips for Denton's telephone interview??
Wow, kudos for even getting through that, my concentration could never!Just did a test where I was expected to finish 60 questions in 6 minutes! I only managed to answer 40 and safe to say, it has to be one of the more difficult assessments I had to take this cycle!
Made my day! Gosh I needed a good laugh ahahahahSometimes when I am rejected from a law firm, I reflect and genuinely conclude that they weren’t right for me.
It’s a bit like post-nut clarity.
It was a proofreading exercise for Mayer Brown!Wow, kudos for even getting through that, my concentration could never!
Just out of curiosity, what was this for?
I think it is natural that you'll be nervous for a high-stakes AC. Although you might be marked down for presentation skills I think they will be more interested in your overall content, e.g. your commercial awareness.Help!! I just had an AC presentation and the content of what I was saying I am confident, in but I was literally so visibly nervous and shaking, and finished quite a few minutes ahead of time - how bad is this?
Well done for getting to AC! I'm sure you did great, a presentation is always intimidating so everyone is nervous. As someone who has done two case studies (successfully) and was told in both "well that was shorter than expected" I don't think it really matters as long as you covered all the right points. In both I took around 4 minutes rather than the 10 so if you feel confident about the content that should be enough. This is especially true if you were able to answer any follow-ups as often this is the harder part of the assessmentHelp!!

Thanks!!I emailed them a while back and they said that the latest I'd hear back by is mid-March so you still have some time. Email away if you want though (when they told me I'll hear back by Mid-March after my email I received an AC invite in 2 days haha).
Go for it! Nothing to lose.Farrer PFO.
My rejection email said the following:
“We are very sorry not to be able to offer you a place on our scheme and hope this does not deter you from applying for a training contract with us if you have not already done so.”
Genuinely curious if anyone has thoughts on whether it’s worth applying if I couldn’t even secure a spot on the vac scheme?
Well my love if you do not try you will never know. Always worth a try with small changesFarrer PFO.

I think this calls for a Taco Bell fella.
