told them a few days ago i couldnt attend the placement if i was successful so had to withdraw it, but they said they would review my app for a TC. today they gave me the rejection after "reviewing my application for both the placement and training contract."
I think it’s something they send to all but don’t be disheartened rejections lead us to the correct path !
Well done! May i ask what your strength & weakness was in the feedback report, if you dont mind?😊Thank you! I found out less than an hour ago via email and it’s for the London office
In my experience, I have had success in breaking down this question into 2-3 core reasons for the firm. Starting with 1-2 reasons (so maybe you like a firm for its PE and competition practices), identify why that practice is important to you (it might be they have a mandatory seat there or, alternatively, their unique position gives you the opportunity to work on advanced deals in that practice), then my 3rd reason relates to the culture and/or training at the firm (this could be focus on diversity, pro-bono, unique training contract structure), etc. that format has worked for me but ofc everyone approaches it differently.
I follow a similar structure and have had good results this year
What were your scores like for the WBD sjt. The test was similar to other ones I have done but my scores turned out to be very different.
The third band (highest) for applied verbal intellect and numerical intellect. And then 3 for Grit, 9 for applied intellect, 6 for Creative force and 7 for Digital mindset. Not sure why that score for grit... I always try to take initiative and be proactive etc. I think it will highly depend on the VI whether I get to the next stage.
Mine was 6,4,4,4, Yes I think the VI is considered more when it comes to making a decision.
Do you mean the bit where it says " Engage with us on social media (see links below) for firm wide news and legal updates which will ensure you maintain a high level of commercial awareness." - If not, then maybe you got a bespoke email rather than the generic pfo ...?
