Has anyone heard from kennedys post AC?

I’m not sure what they communicated to you, but on our AC (Manchester) they said that they would still be holding AC’s up to the beginning of this week. And that we could expect to hear from them following this week. But they gave no indication of any sort of time frame

I would be very grateful for some advice regarding Summer Vacation Scheme Placements. I am fortunate enough to have been offered a vac scheme place for this summer at one of my favourite firms but following this I have received interview-stage invites at two other firms. However, their vac scheme dates overlap with the Vac scheme place I already have been offered (and accepted). Is it still worth pursuing the interviews from these other two firms even though I would be unable to accept them? I am currently studying for summer exams and a little worried about the time I may potentially be spending preparing for interviews versus revising for exams.

Has anyone heard from Shoosmiths Manchester?

Has anyone heard back from Bristows at all? I think final interviews were about two weeks ago, unsure when we might hear back..

You may be able to ask to be considered for a direct TC instead depending on the firm

Good joke bro. Maybe if commercial law doesn’t work out you could become a comedian?

Is it bad or is it still ok to state in an application that you spoke to an associate in the firm but that associate has now moved to another law firm. In your answer to why you are interesteed in that firm. Is it bad and will your answer look weak or is it still okay.

You spoke to them when they were at the firm and that shaped your interest in that particular firm so in my opinion it shouldn’t really be a problem

Thank you very much for this.

Did the WBD app and had to speak to people coming into the room whilst doing the SJT to tell them I was doing a test- is this going to be a red flag for me cheating

I don't think so but can email graduate recruitment and let them know just in case.

You may be able to ask to be put on the direct tc list but any interview experience at that stage would be good!
