I agree with these, except the one that says : don’t know how to say no. This is because I was advised by grad rec to not say things like I take too much on, I’m a perfectionist and so on because it looks like you’re trying to make a strength a weakness. Say anything u want Just make sure to talk about how you have improved and how you continue to improve. I spoke about networking in one interview and I got an offer for the scheme so I’m assuming it worked well. I talked about imposter syndrome and how I’ve improved by attending open days, part time jobs, etc.

I Think it’s an ac invite.
Also does anyone know if they read app before sending stage 2? I just want to manage expectations because I have a low 2:1 (with Mitigating circumstances) and my stage 2 went alright I think, I’m worried grades may be the reason I’m rejected (hopefully my year of legal experience can save me)
Has anyone heard from Sidley? Summer or spring?
Okay just finished a test for a paralegal role and opened my email to expect a confirmation of test only to realise it was a straight up PFO????
strikingly fake is sending meee😭🤣🤣

I turned down my offer from Weathersby Posner in San Francisco, then decided to become a lawyer at CNRI and district office at Starling City as I can't go far from my dad and boyfriend Oliver Queen.Got mine with Saul Goodman & Associates too
And Pearson, Specter, Litt (Formerly Pearson Specter, FKA Pearson Darby Specter etc. etc,)
Which firm is that - Weathersby Posner? Can you send their application link, and when's the deadline?
Telephone interview
Does anyone know what the full application process is for Bristows? I've seen conflicting info online.
From the website I gather it's
1) Grad rec review all application forms personally and choose candidates for video interview.
2) VIs are reviewed by partners who then select candidates for first stage interview is with a partner and a senior associate, followed by a tour of the firm with one of the current trainees.
3) Partners then choose candidates for a second interview, normally with two partners who are members of our Trainee Committee. We’ll also ask you to do a written exercise
I suppose what I'm unclear about is, is the first stage interview and second interview (and written exercise and tour) on the same day, or separate days? The fact that "partners then choose candidates for a second interview" would suggest a gap between the two. If that's the case I would've imagined the first interview would be online, but I guess not if it's followed by a tour of the firm.
Does that mean essentially going down to London twice, for two separate assessment days? 😀

I'd argue that certain types of Neurodivergence are a strength/bonus for law (of course, depending on what job you have within law, social adaptation etc).
The fact many businesses are run by neurodivergent people too, it helps that you have neurodivergent lawyers/advisors in communication and understanding.
* I'm neurodivergent and fully believe this by what I understand with the field.
does anyone doing the TW WE know how to connect to the video link for it? I have mine in an hour but dont see any link to join on the platform yet, is that normal? as in are you only able to join on the dot

Hey, I think you can only see the link once it's time to start. Can't confirm for certain because I have mine later, but I remember reading on the platform that this is how it works
I'm only going to say that this is a silly question because – unlike in VIs – you arent being assessed on how you present yourself. So i'd say wear whatever you're comfortable in.
