    Hi all, looking for a bit of recruitment advice. I’m planning to apply to Burges Salmon soon. I did an AC with them in the cycle before last, and last year I applied for a paralegal job. Initially I was unsuccessful however I received a call back offering me a paralegal position in another department. I had to decline as I had another job, however is this something I can mention in my application and would it be beneficial or would it hinder the application? Thanks!

    How much notice do you usually get for an AC? This is my first cycle and I'm generally a bit crap at interviews. I don't want to set myself up for extra disappointment by preparing and then getting rejections but equally don't want to be unprepared if I do get one, do you get enough notice usually?

    You usually get a few weeks’ notice so there will be plenty of time to prepare! My soonest post interview has been 3 weeks and my longest about 8 weeks! Good luck with your first cycle 😊

    Hi! Is this for a particular firm/firms? It would be easier to get an accurate answer if you know which firms 😊
    hey, I was just asking in general, if anyone knows any firm's usual AC dates, because I am currently completing a year abroad, so to know when I can expect to book tickets and stuff if required, know who to coordinate with in my uni etc. If anyone knows any firm's, that would be greatly appreciated! For instance, Baker, HSF, Simmons & Simmons, White & Case, etc.
