out of curiosity, if you got to an assessment centre interview and kept calling the war a 'special military operation' during the 'what news story interests you' question, would it count as discrimination if they didn't hire you because of it?

What a question lol! Describing it as Putin did? I doubt that would lead to them not hiring you.

I guess if you kept suggesting you were sympathetic to Russia, it might be slightly questionable.

However, I don't know, unfortunately, I guess you will only find out when you hear back re the interview.

Out of curiosity, why were you calling it a special military operation?

Hi - does anyone knows any London boutique law firms which are currently open to internship applications? I would be super thankful for any help!

Not all boutique firms, but firms with applications still open for vacation schemes:

No - even if it could be proved that is why you were unsuccessful.

Have Latham Spring ACs all taken place?

I am not 100% sure, but I think they may have passed already. People that have done ACs are expecting to hear back this week or already have heard back (Spring + Summer)

 

[onthefencelawyer]

Has anyone heard back from PwC post-AC?

 

[jamesbaillie]

Have mishcon finished AC interviews for summer vac scheme?

I'm waiting to hear back post-VI

Nobody that I know who did the AC (including myself) have heard back yet...I think it will probably be the tail end of this week when they communicate outcomes

Does anyone know Bird & Bird's VS to TC conversion?

Hi, I was told by a friend that the offer rate for the Spring VS last year was around 50-60%

Hi, what sort of topic can the questions I ask at the end of an interview with graduate recruitment be? Can I ask something more specific about the legal profession or should it focus more on the training/vacation scheme process?

I would ask something you genuinely want to find out more about in relation to the firm that would help you work out whether the firm is right for you, but that isn't something very obvious/you could easily find out on the frm's website.
