Anyone heard from Addleshaw Goddard following voice interview? Awaiting response.. deadline closed 6 Jan.

@Afraz Akhtar I reached the final stage with a law firm three weeks ago - they haven't given out offers yet to anyone and I am yet to hear back on the outcome of that interview, maybe even this week. However, I am away for a week in another country and switched my sim card. If they were to call (hopefully) with an offer, that call wouldn't reach me. Am I right to assume that they would then email? A bit worried that I may come off as unprofessional and/or not receive comms from them at all for this reason.

Is there a difference as to how I would approach a strengths based rather than competency based interview? Especially re: how I approach examples - if I'm talking about for example communication, am I better off bringing in multiple examples fro my career to date to show it is a strength of mine rather than STAR analyse one specific situation?

Mayer Brown rejection 😭 😭 😭 😭, does anyone know if we can reapply for the DTC ? My flatmate's loud alarm went off while I was doing my VIs, I got flustered for a second and then just spoke over it 🥲

does anyone know anything about the Stephenson Harwood vc process? is the online assessment automatic or after they review your application?

[SemperParatus]

Has anyone emailed weil asking for an update? I’m kinda scared to ask them lol

 

[TCtoothfairy]

I genuinely can't laugh anymore because this application season keeps getting worse.... PFO from Mayer Brown (either VS) after getting 6999 in their test. What a joke LOL.

 

[helenaskelton]

Anyone have any tips for the Clyde & Co video interview. I have Reed Smith, Simmons, Mayer Brown and a bunch of others

 

[Leader of the Night Watch of the Contractless]

This Mayer Brown PFO is devastating. Full marks for applied numerical and applied verbal + 6779 in Amberjack. Still not enough!!!!
