Post TIWas this post initial application or post online assessment?
I would say that it is pretty difficult to say but as far as I am aware you have a very good chance if the interviews go well since you have surpassed the most difficult part which was getting the offer.Hey everyone - first time poster here! I've recieved one assessment day for Cleary Gottlieb and one final-stage interview for Slaughters (as for vac schemes they have no ACs). I was wondering, at this stage, what my chances of securing an offer for a vac scheme were? I know the answer won't change anything as I will prepare in the same way. But I was wondering nonetheless.
I would imagine that it is directed to those individuals who have multiple languages and they want to explain whether English is their first language or second etc etc. If that is the case then explain that, otherwise just leave it blank and just put English as first language if that is your situation.anyone know what they mean by "please give details" under the language skills section in applications ?
This is such an amazing motivation post, thank you to @Legalstalker! This reminds me of my table last year and after the many rejections, offers started to come so always believe in yourself and be confident in the process! I hope this motivates a lot of people!Happy Friday everyone!!
If anyone needs a sign of motivation here it is…
I had a mind block after my Fieldfisher PFO post TI and wanted to give up all together. But I’d say rejection pushed me to apply to more places. There are some firms I’ve put more effort into than others, and others I applied to just to improve my understanding of tests.
- This is my first cycle applying
- Yes I have applied to way too Many firms
- Yes I have a rejections sheet which is just as impressive 😭
- I probably won’t get any offers due to the sheer amount I have applied to but I’ve found joy in applying.
- how did I find the time? I had a week or so off of work as I was sick and used that time to apply x Christmas break.

I would say that a deal made in 2023 or late 2022 is recent enough. 2021 is a bit too far. If you can find something a bit more recent, I would focus on that.Is a deal from late 2021 considered 'recent'?
Yes, I think it’s too 3 strengthsFor the macfarlanes' feedback report, does it show top strengths as well as weaknesses?
I’ve had no news since 12th December 😪One full week without any news🤟
Sorry my bad. My pain is nothing compared to yoursI’ve had no news since 12th December 😪
It’s just shorthand for a rejection, stands for please F off - typically used by the legal community to make light of the copy paste emails we all receive 😂sorry what does pfo mean ?
Forum slang for “Please f**k off” - jokingly referencing when a firm turns you down.sorry what does pfo mean ?
If it is late 2021 I think this is just about okay. But sometimes certain type of deals don’t happen a lot (especially over the last couple of years where deal activity has been a bit limited at times), and things like litigation cases can also take many years - so if it’s particularly unique or long winded 2021 might not be so bad.Is a deal from late 2021 considered 'recent'?
I'm sorry to hear this! Is this after an open day? And for the TC or spring/ summer vs? Best of luck with the rest of your applications!Finally linklaters pfo
