Anyone heard anything for Bristol office Simmons vac scheme?

 

[Bruce Wayne Attorney at Law]

So happy to say that I accepted a TC offer right before Christmas 🥳🥳 A huge thanks to TCLA for the support over the last two years ❤️

NGL was so tempted to tell you guys earlier because we've been in this together but wasn't allowed to share the news.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly you have been a star on this forum and will never forget your words of wisdom which helped me a lot during a particularly challenging and frustrating time. You more than deserve the offer, congratulations once again!

How are people seeing their WG results for links?

Email grad rec

 

[Bruce Wayne Attorney at Law]

Sorry guys kinda random but I'm currently looking at W&C's deals and I must say I'm really impressed by the firm's dedication to escalators.

I think we should all write to them about their escalators, make the grad rec believe how much we stan escalators, confuse the hell out of em.

Oh, I think I applied for spring so i'm not sure if that person had an AC for winter?

Oh sorry I was trying to work out whether they sent out ACs all in one go (I.e if I don’t hear today, assume it’s a PFO) or if it was staggered! Sorry if it was unclear!

Hearing back from Simmons? What a positively preposterous concept!

"Tell us about your interests"

Well...ever since a young age I've had a fascination with escalators and their dynamism and versatility. This draws me to the firm, as I understand that the firm likes escalators just as much as I do. I think we possess alignment beyond my understanding, hence why you should accept me!

Interesting! My strengths are working with others and resource management and my weakness is leadership preference

Wonder what this means for me. Wg was 88th percentile and I've not heard anything back yet

Well...ever since a young age I've had a fascination with escalators and their dynamism and versatility. This draws me to White & Case, as I understand that the firm likes escalators just as much as I do. I think we possess alignment beyond my understanding, hence why you should accept me!

Thank you for making me laugh out so loud😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just took OC test, and my goodness! Not only did they rush me through it, they also didn't give me enough time to complete the feedback questionnaire. Like can you please give me a second to give SHL a 1* review 😢😢😢

 

[ilikelaw]

took the w&c test.. you were right about that😶

Does anyone know what percentile links looks for?

I read it ranges between 30-50%. But majority of it depends on the sjt, not the wg

Thank you for making me laugh out so loud😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Happy to be of service 😉

Just received my WG report from Linklaters- 72.5% in the test overall and 59% percentile... there goes another PFO

Did you send them an email?

 

[Rads]

Does anyone know when can we expect PW to get back for Summer? And AG if submitted on deadline?

 

[wrloyst]

Does anyone know what time the deadline is today for Sidley's SVS app?

 

[TCLAuser2002]

I want to send an email for linklaters to ask for my scores but I feel like it's very weird to do so HAHAHA

Does anyone know what time the deadline is today for Sidley's SVS app?

Second this! Someone mentioned 5 pm yesterday but none of Sidley’s websites specify the time
