but swr it was rigged man
I haven’t done the test so I’m not sure exactly what it involves but it’s been called a verbal analysis test in past years, and it’s before interview/AC
Akin PFO post TI. A bit disappointed cos I thought the TI went reasonably well.
I’m thinking it’s cos it went over by 20 mins. They said it should be 25 mins mine was 45…
I applied 15 Dec, sat the SJT and WG on 5 Jan, got the TI on 8 Jan and sat the TI 22 Jan.
Lowkey think Weil is gna be a PFO post AC. Oh well it is what it is on to the next I guess!

Pardon my asking, but isn’t it usually a good sign if interviews run over time? Doesn’t it mean that they enjoy talking to the candidate?Akin PFO post TI. A bit disappointed cos I thought the TI went reasonably well.

I feel like if time had been an issue, they would have cut it short
Thanks, hoping it isn’t Watson Glaser but it probably is isn’t it
Weil gang……has anyone heard today? If people have received offers (today or otherwise) please could you thumbs up?? I only ask because graduate recruitment were quite certain they’d get back to us all by today so I can’t tell if they’ve gotten back to everyone this week and will reject next week or if they’re still considering offers?
thank youuuu
thank youuuu
Just found this, hope it helps! But it seems sort of like WG inferencesThanks, hoping it isn’t Watson Glaser but it probably is isn’t it

Yeah it was an email. It baso said the following:
Dear Harvey,
Many thanks for taking the time to speak with us during your recent telephone interview.
After careful consideration, unfortunately we are not able to progress your application on this occasion.
As you may appreciate, we receive an exceptionally high number of applications each year for a limited number of positions and our recruitment process is highly competitive. Due to the volume of applications that we receive, we are unable to offer feedback at this stage.
We were impressed with your performance and would like to encourage you to re-apply in the next recruitment cycle.
May we take this opportunity to thank you for your time and interest in Akin, and to wish you every success with your future legal career.
Many thanks

Idk tbh cos I’ve seen someone post they also got an Akin PFO post TI and theirs was 50 mins. I also saw @Shiv Lawy mention they felt it was more of a box ticking thing than anything, which I’d also felt too. Perhaps the grad rec team are nice so they didn’t want to cut the TI short. Oh well.

Hey, does anyone have experience with Dechert Interviews, Addleshaw Goddard AC, and/or Clyde & Co AC? Would be happy to trade insights with other firms (UK and US) or prep together for it!
Just finished my last VS app this cycle, gonna watch movie this weekend
and see the outcome in the upcoming weeks, all the best guys!

got an email from Hotel Chocolat and had a jump scare hoping it was an update goshhh
A new velvetiser would make the application process go a lot smoother...
I think it going over time isn't always a good thing, I wonder what you guys think but if it goes super over time maybe the answers weren't as concise as they wanted (not saying this is what Harvey did) just find it really interesting. Were they answering your questions a lot and having a conversation when you ran over or were they still asking questions? Sorry to hear about the pfo regardless.
