Have you completed a telephone interview? May I ask how you know all invites have gone out? I guess thats another PFO for me!


dont want to rub salt in the wound, but did you ever get a proper rejection? I applied literally moonths ago and still havent heard anything. Now thinking its probably a no!

Rejected from Linklaters

Wish I spent time applying to firms less down now



I've literally heard nothing since submitting - did you get invited to any online tests?
And when did you apply if you don't mind me asking

anyone heard from Ince & Co?


Apparently they're rolling, but I applied 5+ weeks ago and haven't heard anything. Have you gotten the test yet?
Wragge post telephone anyone?

Hill Dickinson post video & WG?

Fieldfisher post both tests?

Okay, I applied 2 weeks ago so not as long as you! No, not done a test yet. Presume you have then? How was it?

An unexpected one you can't really prepare for. The others were standard: Why us, why you, etc :smile: Well done!


Thank you :smile: hope yours is going well. Just to clarify, one you can't prepare for, i.e. not one about yourself, but a "give me a time when..." type thing?

Nope. Figured I'd be sent the test within 2 weeks if I was successful as their turnaround was (I thought from the website) 4 weeks. Haven't had any correspondence from them though besides acknowledgement that my application was received.

Yes just had the one email too. Unusual! Well I guess we're all in the same boat then...although that's entirely unhelpful.

Can I ask when you both applied and to which office?

Thanks


Not those guys but I'm also looking for advice on DWF's video interview. I put the Leeds office as my first preference and Newcastle as second preference. I sent my application in around the start of June and got the invite yesterday. Would appreciate any advice as I've never had this type of interview before.

PFO from the GLS- didn't meet the standard in the sjt :frown:


Dont worry, I got the same. I genuinely thought I aced that test - maybe they're after someone completely different?

On a different note, anyone heard from Reed Smith? They were the only firm I cared deeply about :tongue:

Nah, I think you can prepare for competency questions like that just by getting used to interviews. This was really bizarre, I assume its meant to test how you react & think under pressure.
Took a quick look through this thread -- so many invitations to interview! I've been applying for 2 years and never got so far! You lucky devils - what's the secret I obviously don't know about? :tongue:
Anyone heard from Cooley ?
Anyone know what the memery crystal interview involves?
Kennedys critical thinking test invite, post video interview.
Any news from Dentons since the deadline?

Hi everyone!
I am new here, however have been following discussion for some time.

Has anyone heard back from Eversheds post application? I have submitted my application at the end on June and no word yet.

Many thanks.
Video interview, Irwin Mitchell BLS
