Has anyone heard back from AG (Leeds office)? I applied the day before the deadline and still haven't heard anything! :frown:


Yeah unfortunately they've been holding ACs last week and this week, so I'd send them an email or check your junk folder :frown:

Do you mind my asking how the AC was? Was the partner interview okay?!


I actually applied to the Sheffield office. I had my AC last week and got told I was successful today :smile: just have a partner interview now on Monday. Think the Sheffield process is slightly different as the partner interview is on a separate day. Good luck. All I can say is that the firm is really really friendly!

Hey!

I had one on Thursday and was told 2-3 working days. Got an email on Friday saying I'd hear this week. So far no response and it's killing me!
Question, I was just wondering, firms like it when you tailor an answer to their firm, how would you tailor a generic 'why law?' question to a firm when the proceeding question is why them specifically?

To those waiting on Boodle hatfield… i just logged onto my cvmail thing by chance and saw an invite to a Skype interview which was sent on the 13th that i never got any email or anything about! so worth logging into that if you applied!

I don't think for that sort of question it is important to tailor the question as such, but simply get across your passion for the profession and particular things that attract you to the firm. However there may be certain circumstances where you could tailor it slightly. For instance, you could write that you have enjoyed applying your theoretical knowledge of the law in a practical context through pro bono initiatives and that you are particularly pleased with 'X firm's' own passion to promote corporate social responsibility... Something like that maybe?

Oh good luck! I have no idea how mine went - I think the interview was okay - but the analysis part at the start was tricky!

How about you?
