anyone still waiting on mofo, sullcrom and gibson dunn?

 

[Autotunedbird]

hello for Mayer Brown, did they send the test link automatically (I applied on the deadline but haven't received the link). Thanks!

That's odd, yeah I got an email from them instructing me to go to the application portal and complete the test there. Maybe check your application portal just in case?

Hi - everyone gets the tests but they send it out manually; I waited about a week before I got mine

The fact that some many people got DLA Piper rejections even though they didn't apply makes me wonder whether they even looked at all applications or just mass rejected all once they filled the places?...

They can’t have people’s contact details without some form of registeration for an application. It might be that they were tidying up their system and sent rejections for a very old vacancy or sent a comm out to anyone who started but didn’t complete their application. I don’t think it’s necessarily an indication of the current applicant pool anyway.

Still waiting on Gibson Dunn. Not hopeful though as I’m pretty sure they’ve had ACs already

 

[JessicaIsabelle]

Anyone heard from RS..?

Nope, I think we’ll hear tomorrow based on when people heard last year but I’m constantly checking my email

 

[CorporateCrocodile]

Does anyone have experience being supported by a law firm through disability that stops them taking too many assessments in one day? Please pm me if you’re happy to chat? Worried about how and when to disclose that six hour in-person ACs are too much for me without seeming like I wouldn’t be able to handle the job.

Clyde & Co PFO even tho I didn't apply
