You can try to ask, my cohort tried but unfortunately law firms have relationships with the providers that cannot be ended so abruptly and only because the candidates do not want to be at that school. Realistically speaking each provider has a bad reputation if you ask people who go to Ulaw you will hear the same thing so there is no point personally speaking.
Thank you and was thinking that also as they are busy people so just thank them for their time.
Ditto this. I also think it helps those that feel they unsure about their interview performances to email your interviewers direct. At least in my experience (and I am sure this is not every firm nor every interviewer), the ones I have emailed post-interview have feedback their enjoyment talking with me or even proactively encouraging reach out when successful. It helps - especially if you are offered the scheme - as you have already developed your rapport with potential supervisors. It means you're going in day one with already relationships ready. I similarly do not think it makes or breaks your chances of getting an offer, but I have - again in my experience - been able to roughly gauge how I performed by some feedback. Ultimately, it lets you build your network, gain a bit of insight, and makes you look very proactive on your part. It also gives you the opportunity to ask any burning questions you had post-interview about the firm (as most will reply asking if you had any follow up questions you were unable to ask).
I didn't say you need legal experience. I said the competition is people with strong extra curricular, society exec positions, university prestige and strong grades. The suggestion of being a paralegal was if she has since graduated uni or doesn't have enough time left to really adopt these factors, legal experience for a year would provide the most direct and available chance to make up for not being involved enough at university. She could equally go and become an accountant for a year, but this may raise questions in the interview that are easier avoided. She may also work stocking shelves, but again, this puts her at a disadvantage in the current climate of fierce competition.
i haven't heard of lessons being cancelled, but I would add its not uncommon for you to get into BPP for your Monday morning 9am and then being sent an email saying your class is now online which is rather irriating
You could say that you are available in 2 weeks but if need be you can rearrange to accommodate their needs, that is the approach I used to take when presented with a similar situation.
Honestly, I don't know - I've also never heard of a firm just asking a candidate when they fancy doing the interview, rather than just giving them a date or option of a few dates. If I were you, I would avoid telling them you can only meet after 2 weeks, what do you have going on between then and now that you can't move?
Yes, it is okay, I personally did it with partners and they were super nice about it so I do not think there is any harm in reaching out, especially if they invited you to reach out in the interview, which they did with me.
yes this happens to me whenever I submit an application with cvmail
