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

After getting the call saying Im short listed and that they'll give me a call again in the next few weeks to update me on the situation but not to rule out an offer.. oh well at last I know where I stand now!! The parnter who interviewed me rang and was very nice..its a waiting game now!!

Pandas, that's great news, congrats! Did your partner tell you how many were short listed? I wonder are many of us on the waiting list? I would have thought if we were going to hear we'll hear by next Tuesday, as people have to accept by Monday? Can't see people cancelling after that?

You're not that hopeful? My partner said that a number of people don't accept every year as they get multiple offers..so it's not beyond the realms of possibility. On saying that, I just can't imagine me getting it, it seems far fetched!

birdie89 · 07-12-2011 6:18pm

Does anyone know how many days DE are interviewing for second round? Still haven't heard anything from them, have rang twice and the hr girl is never at her desk! Presuming its a no but really annoyin they didn't send me a pfo like they sent to other candidates!! Clutching at straws here!

frustratedTC · 07-12-2011 6:57pm

Hi
Has anyone received the terms of their offers yet?

mariobalotelli · 07-12-2011 7:29pm

McCanns offers are out.

wow mucho congratulations, very fast. They said it could be a week or two to me, although maybe they're trying to account for people not accepting,

Actually do you mind me asking, phone or mail?

Beechey · 08-12-2011 2:16pm

If anyone needs a witty reply to a rejection letter....

Lol, that is fab Beechey:D Now all we need are draft pfo in anticipation letters for firms, like BW, that don't seem to send pfos! Hope you got on ok with your interview with BW:)

2ndtimer · 08-12-2011 4:34pm

So, anyone else get offers from Mc Canns yet or just the one person so far?

mariobalotelli · 08-12-2011 5:05pm

Hi sorry for delay. McCanns rang me yesterday shortly after 6. Have until Friday 16th to accept.

xx29xx · 08-12-2011 11:00pm

anyone heard anything good/bad/otherwise about William Fry or Arthur Cox as firms? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

moonbino · 09-12-2011 1:13am

Got a beautifully written pfo from AC today. They seem very nice even with a rejection letter. Haha

Sorry to hear about that moonbino:( You came across on here as having a really nice attitude! Make sure you get some feedback though as that will help you next time.

brumbram6 · 09-12-2011 11:46am

exactly same pfo as last year. Not sure if i want to hear the feedback colonel, wht if they just give some odd excuse and i will take it to heart and will make in my own head even a bigger problem out of it.:D mite email them nxt week when i get the courage...

Thanks Colonel1. Not giving up though. They'll be begging me next year. Lol. Just like Irkalein I am scared to ask. They are so polite I doubt I would get the full truth anyway.

Hopefully they will be begging me too:D I am applying for the summer internship, hence I have asked for feedback so I can craft a more suitable CV and application letter. At least they give feedback, I got nowt from DE, and lets not mention that certain firm begining with B....

Of course, sometimes all you receive is feedback saying that the standard was exceptionally high etc etc, which means one didn't make the cut. Not to worry, 2012 is another year and I am pretty tenacious.

Anyway Moonbino and Irkalein, don't be afraid to ask for feedback, all they can say is no. And at least you will look interested. Of course as ye both reached the 2nd round, then it may have come down to "job fit" in terms of personality etc. There may not be much you can do about that though.

Good luck!

Congrats on getting an offer from both:D AC is a gold standard firm, but good luck trying to decide between the two. I would be inclined to go with Cox myself. There is a boardsie called Thirdfox who may be able to give you some information on AC. Send him/her a PM.

might see you there!

JLex · 09-12-2011 4:07pm

Hello, huge congrats to great ppl with TC offers and best wishes to those who like me attended several interviews and didn’t get a TC this time around. Every time when I got a call or a letter asking me to come for an interview I felt like holding a winning lotto ticket on the wind...........

Quick question, did anybody get an email from MHC saying they will get back to us in four weeks? what type of ppl are they looking for? This is my very last hope for this year...... will be grateful for some info !
:pac::pac::pac:

Happykid · 12-12-2011 1:08pm

Anyone heard any word from Dillon Eustace either way re: training contracts?!

PearDAR · 12-12-2011 2:15pm

Havent heard anything yet!

frustratedTC · 12-12-2011 3:13pm

Has anyone heard of people on the waiting list being offered the training contract?

Happykid · 12-12-2011 3:17pm

with who frustratedTC? or do u mean in general?!

frustratedTC · 12-12-2011 3:19pm

In general, was put on the waiting list with 1 firm and they were my favourites, so I'm wondering what my chances are realistically?

Hi frustrated, do you mind me asking if you accepted Eversheds, or if you know of people who didn't? I'm also on a waiting list. I really don't know what to expect..

32minutes · 16-12-2011 5:52pm

ayre a word from DE?

Lola73 · 16-12-2011 9:43pm

Any heard from Byrne Wallace yet??

birdie89 · 20-12-2011 11:52am

Yeah they contacted me about a week ago about interviews in January.

lablab · 20-12-2011 12:28pm

how many trainees will MHC take on?

what about guys who have already indicated their acceptance to other legal firms?
will all those heads just line up for interview again?

tks all...

For those with TCs already I would find it a bit unfair to go for the Internship with MHC as it is their sole means of recruiting and so you may be taking a spot from someone else who really wants a TC with MHC!

t2340 · 20-12-2011 1:47pm

Does anyone have any idea how many MHC are actually going to interview?

Blackrockcomet · 21-12-2011 12:55am

Anyone hear from Dillon Eustace or Maples and Calder? I interviewed monday and haven't heard a thing :mad:

JaraCane · 21-12-2011 1:11am

Did you have Maples Round 2 this week was it? Did they say when they'd get back to you ? Waiting on Christmas week is a killer!

You answered my question. I meant first round interview which was last monday for me. Good luck though, this thread has been very quiet regarding Maples, so if you are in the 2nd round, you have a great chance

ZaraZaZa · 21-12-2011 6:35pm

Anybody have any idea as to what kind of wages to be expected? For the medium-sized firms? I know the big 4/5 offer €30k +...but what can the rest of us expect?

And does all the corporate firms pay for blackhall fees?

I gotta agree with Lola here. Hopefully those with the TC's already in the bag will allow the rest of us a fighting chance of trying to get our TC's sorted!!

but I guess it's a dog eat dog world...................

irishgirl23 · 05-01-2012 7:20pm

Did the other person who was on the Eversheds waiting list hear anything??

Sheedy · 05-01-2012 10:08pm

Anybody have any tips on the MHC interview?

I havent heard anything and Im not holding my breath either. Did you?
