The Pupillage Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2012

Woohoo! Batch theory prevails then and all is not lost... at least for now

Well done for getting an interview jcasey1989... now, its back to portal refreshing for me.

Congratulations! I'm stuck at work at the mo but hoping there'll be a letter waiting for me when I get home!

Has anyone got any experience on 10 minute interviews, I've got two coming up and I'm not sure whether to expect a quick fire round or more of a friendly chat?

So that you know Barnickle, their email invite was the only contact I received from them so far. My pupillage portal has been updated(ish) such that it says nothing; the space is actually blank, no "under consideration" nor any "first interview confirmed" entry (perhaps because ECC only do a single interview round?). So keep refreshing your inbox instead Good luck!

Timothy Mousley's set? Are you sure? Their website indicates the deadline is tomorrow...

I got an invite too... I thought the deadline was the same as Portal...

Congrats! Well done on getting there - and all the best for the final interview!

Hello all,

If anyone has a first round at 2KBW and would be willing to swap times with me (I'm in the morning and it clashes with one of the few other interviews I've managed to get), could you please PM me? Unfortunately chambers can't swap my time so it's make or break

This is a big ask but if anyone is able to or if it also gets you out of a pickle then I'd be really grateful.

Thanks

Yes! God I hope it's a friendly chat for you. Mine, on the other hand was a 20 - questions grilling, which included questions like "What's the most rebellious thing you've ever done?", "Who's head of chambers?","OK, which of us is a DDJ?", "how do you think this interview is going, out of 10?" "*after sliding a glass of water down the table at me* HALF-FULL OR HALF EMPTY??!WHY?!"

I have a 9.30 am unlikely to help much but willing to swap!

Personalised letters from a poor dear at Queen Square Chambers telling everyone their application has been received and is under consideration.

That's really odd...I wonder whether last-minute applicants should even bother to complete the form for Chambers now!

I've often wondered that about chambers that are 'forced' to extend the deadline by PP. I imagine some of them might say 'right, we'll put it on PP and extend the deadline but screw you we're still doing it our way'.
