Got a little nervous from that post above so rang AC to check out the situation I just asked when the offers were expected to be out and she said tomorrow so we can hang in for another few hours!!:eek:

See, now, I have read this post, understood this post. And YET i still have the fear. I keep thinking, sure they 'might' ring today even though they have specifically told you they will be contacting people tomorrow. And now that i've thought this, they definitely won't ring today.

Mad. Absolute madness. :eek:

Lol. Good luck tomorrow

Sure I rang and I'm still terrified!!Anybody have any idea how they will contact us??Will they ring the successful candidates or will we all get letters.....just thinking that the interview offers were all posted so maybe they prefer this approach??

Have to agree with you.....MADNESS!!!!!

Hi guys

I am in same position as ye. I just want to clarify that arthur cox give offers by phone call or mail?

dylankay

Arthur Cox are calling!

brumbram6

congrats!!

dylankay

Thanks....I am absolutely thrilled....best of luck everyone only got my call 15 minutes ago!

Hi guys, just confirming that Frys has a back up list and that they are still offering. I got an offer today at 3 o'clock. There is a dinner on Wednesday night and we have to confirm acceptance by Friday. I know 3 people who have alternative offers and who are not taking Frys. So if you have not yet received a PFO you could still be in with a very good chance of receiving an offer. Best of Luck and thanks so much to everyone for all your helpful posts, you have kept me sane over the past two weeks!

Thats fantastic news - congrats!
As the clock nears 6pm I fear my outcome is a pfo.

Ah sure, next time round perhaps!

brumbram6

No news...

LawNerd2011

Got my call around 6.40 from a different law firm last year. Hang in there!

P.S. If only one person's received a phone call thus far, perhaps they will be phoning around tomorrow morning as well!

Congrats to all who secured a TC this year! It's 8pm so I doubt AC have me on their list. If you still have FE1s I'll see you in that forum. For those in the same boat with me, see you at the panic station same time next year :-)

frustratedTC

anyone had their interview with McCanns? What did you think of it? any hard questions?

Yoshimi1983

Did people get their PFO from arthur cox today?

I had McCanns yesterday, it was very relaxed and conversational. No real emphasis on commercial awareness, just one or two questions about the eurozone, other than that all cv based!
I really enjoyed it, I found the partners to be really friendly and relaxed and that relaxed me.
Best of luck

irishgirl23

A glimmer of hope for me!! Had a call from Eversheds to say that I'm on a waiting list for a place and if people drop out I'll get it

brumbram6

It sure is good news.mayb livinglavida or frustrated tc wilk get another offer and will go for it. Dont think ac do waiting lists.wht is d deadline 4 acceptance i wonder

Thank you What are the chances people will drop out, though. Slim I'm guessing. And there's no guarantee I'm first on waiting list either. AC do have waiting lists, a friend of mine was on it a few years ago, 2nd on the list, he didn't get the traineeship though, obviously the requisite two people didn't drop out! I'd say Eversheds would prob have a higher drop out rate than the top 5, though..

Thank you! that's nice to know did you bring a copy of your CV? or did they ask you the questions based on your application form? ..lets hope they won't ask me how to save the euro or things like that:o

Hi All!

Can anyone tell me what to expect from McCann, Maples or Byrne Wallace interviews?

I'm so nervous as I did a lot of interviews last year and didn't get very far so any advice would be appreciated!

Also, in terms of "logistics", do the interviews tend to run late? I've scheduled all three of mine pretty closely...

Yoshimi1983

Hey

Just posting this question again, did Arthur Cox send PFOs today?

LUCKY YOU!!!!!!! i had no call so can only assume my PFO is on its way sometime this week!

Best of luck with it!! Here's hoping someone decides not to take Eversheds!!

Yoshimi1983

Thanks. Was just wondering, left for work early this morning. God, had two final rounds with AC and Frys and did not nail either. Its not the end of the world, but is is truly a crap feeling to be so close and yet so far!

Well done to those who got it. . This is great forum for support and tips.

Thanks pandas To be honest, I'm not expecting anything to come of it. What are the chances that the requisite number of people drop out? And I'm sure every partner who interviewed has a reserve or two, so what are the chances my partner will get to choose his reserve? I'm not that lucky!

Day's not over yet, maybe you'll get a call?

If not, well done for getting this far and don't give up

brumbram6

Exactly so close and yet so far.it must not be the right for me hopefully god has another plan for me and smth else is around the corner.:)

Well done on getting to the interview stage Aisling. I didn't get a single interview:( When is your Byrne Wallace interview? I assumed they rang you to go to interview?

Good luck with them all.

Aisling23

Better luck next year! It's so hard to know what they're looking for...

All three interviews tomorrow (extremely nervous right now). Yes Byrne Wallace called me.

Thanks Aisling, and good luck tomorrow. You clearly have what they want at any rate:D

It would seem that the big firms appear to be interviewing the same select few!
