Has anyone heard back from these firms - Fieldfisher (post telephone interview), Travers Smith and Browne Jacobson? I am a little concerned as I thought my telephone interview with Fieldfisher went well and would hear back regarding AC start of this month but got no reply yet. The other 2 firms I have not heard back since I submitted my application lol

Hey @Afraz Akhtar

Hope you’re well!

Just wondering, to build rapport in an interview would you ask the interviewer questions *during* the interview? Eg if they asked you about a time you overcame a challenge, and you mirror it back to them in a natural way, is that fine?

I submitted mine 9am on the deadline but haven’t heard back. Tbh unfortunately my guess is they reviewed all of them after the deadline. So if you haven’t heard back it’s probably a no. I’m in the same boat.
