So Early careers called a few days later for me - 2-3 days and then sent the offer and contract a few days after this - there is a discussion first around how it all works. BTW did you pass for london?

Is anyone waiting on a response from Cleary after completing their WG test? I completed it on the 15th and haven't heard back since... also didn't receive any confirmation email which is slightly worrying. I may email grad rec in a week or two

Has anyone done the Simmons and Simmons video interview? do you have any tips? 🙏

White & Case just rejected me for last cycle 🤣

Last time I had contact with them was August…

 

[Aspiringsolicitor01]

Damn not heard back from anything in like over a month lol

Ikr I’ve got 5 applications where the deadline passed over a week ago and I’ve not heard a peep.

I have 13 applications in limbo!

These experiences should be in your work experience section anyway, and you typically include the employers name there anyway, so there is no issue with referencing other work experience/internships and being specific with the firm’s name. If anything being vague about it can cause more questions than not.

Amazing, thanks for your insight on this

@Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu i have a virtual insight evening tomorrow. I’m not sure what to expect as there’s no schedule or agenda sent through to me. Other than a list of questions about the firm is there anything you advise that I prepare for?
