I have no idea! They said they will give us more information closer to the time, so fingers crossed they give us a detailed breakdown.

has anyone who had their AC with HSF this week heard back yet?


Nope! Do you know how long they usually take to respond post-AC?

I read the same :smile: I'm sure I read somewhere that it's just a mix of written and verbal tasks - I assume there will be a group activity in there somewhere? Which office is yours at?(if I haven't already asked :tongue: )

Ah congrats - good luck! It was my first face to face interview so I was really nervous! They're really nice though and try to ease you into it. There were trainees there too to chill people out beforehand! I'm not sure how it went, I'm mixed about it really... As long as you do a bit of prep you'll be fine! :smile:

Which office have you applied to?


Hey!

The Birmingham office, yourself?

Yes it'll be my first too I'm terrified but also excited!

I have! Eagerly waiting to hear back... Apparently we'll hear back within two weeks :smile:


hope you hear good news!

If you dont mind me asking, what sort of questions did they ask? I have one this week

The Leeds office :smile: Honestly, it really isn't as bad as you think it's going to be - mine was fairly informal and more just that they wanted to get to know you :smile: Let me know how it goes - when is it? :smile:

It was mainly competency and CV based, I can't really remember specific questions but more 'tell me about a time when...' etc. Honestly it's not that bad, don't worry! Which office have you applied to? :smile:

I've spoken to a person in SPB's HR department and she informed me that their shortlist has been finalised quite some time now. However, they haven't sent out the rejections, just in case someone is not as good in person as they appear on paper....
Hey does anyone know what percentage of TC intake comes from Vac schemes for firms like Clifford/ Allen Overy and Linklaters?
Does anybody know what salary Freshfields pay for their summer vacation schemes? I can't seem to find any up to date information on it.

Just want to make sure before I book any accommodation for the summer!

Thanks.
Does anyone know if SPB do any critical analysis test on their AC? Like Watson Glaser?
