Just got an email from Mischon de Reya (over a month and a half later!) about a video interview. Any tips on the sort of questions ??



I posted a few pages back with tips for someone else. Good luck!

Has anyone heard from WFW (postAC), Morgan Lewis, Wedlake Bell or Dechert (post phone interview)? Do you know if they recruit on a rolling basis?


I am applying to Wedlake Bell at the moment - I don't think they recruit on a rolling basis and their deadline isn't until later this month :smile: so don't worry that you haven't heard from them yet

How long after AC with Mishcon did people hear back...

Someone told me someone got accepted the same day.

Another got declined a day after...

I have been waiting a week, am I being saved for left over spaces??

Yea you could possibly be in a maybe pile. I heard the same day that I was successful. They are still inviting people to telephone interviews which is odd. When I asked how many assessment days they were going to have they wouldn't tell me but she did say they would be happening for another few weeks.
Quite a different process to other firms it seems

I got the same email from Burges Salmon! Guess maybe someone's off sick- surely there'd be no point in them pretending to have a delay?

Oh well done.

Maybe pile is the worse, it is very tense.

When was your interview may I ask?

Olswang phone interview ....next week . Any tips please ?
Original post by Jingojango
Not heard of anyone with an invite to next stage though....maybe some firms are more efficient than others at sifting through the mountain of apps and Squires are just taking their time. Fingers crossed, keep me updated if you hear and I will too. Good luck:smile:



Hi Both

I received a telephone call for an AC invite to SPB on 2 Feb, hopefully you guys will hear soon! Good luck.

Thanks for that info! Been waiting to hear back after video interview and getting worried that I hadn't heard, though it hasn't been quite two weeks yet. Gives me a bit of hope if ACs are still happening for another few weeks!

Can I ask - did you get a vac scheme offer for easter or summer? Also how long after doing your video interview did you get the AC invite?
Just got an email from CMS saying that I'll find out next week what the assessment centre result is! That was scary!

I'm kinda glad it's past 5 on Friday - no more obessively checking my emails for two whole days!

Well done on the interview! Hope it goes well. When did you apply? I applied on the 31st, right on the deadline. Also, was it a private number that called you and when is your AC? Thanks so much for your help:smile:

Monday may be a pretty day for me, hearing back from two interviews and possibly being able to decide where I will be this summer!

Same here. Oh well, onwards and upwards. The Open Day is probably because vac scheme applications far outweigh TC applications, and they want to give insights for applicants who may have a shot at the TC. SM only give 46% of vac schemers a TC.


Source? I've read it's much lower ...(29%)
