Crap, looks like a Skadden rejection on the way then (assuming they've sent out all invites at the same time) :redface:

Congrats to all interview recipients!

Does anyone know what the application process if for Dentons? I have a 'first interview' next week and applied for the vac scheme and training contract. Would there be another interview for the vac scheme after the first one or would that be at the end of the vac scheme for the training contract?

It doesn't always work like that - with the weil tests for example they sent out the tests to different people on different days. Fingers crossed!

I had mine last Wednesday and haven't heard back yet but they don't really ask anything about the firm it's mostly a chance for them to ask you questions about yourself/your experiences. They then ask competency questions on what you would do in a team before moving on to commercial awareness questions. It lasted half an hour.

New to this thread, so hi guys :smile:

Also wondering when did you hear from Simmons post Watson Glaser? I've sat for it over a week ago and no news from them!
