Tea-a-Maria

Eversheds were calling round earlier this evening about interviews.

Ownleme

forgot i applied to these guys! looks like I can forget again!

KH25

4 PFO's so far.

RandolphEsq

Maples rejection email at 22:20 tonight. At least my application kept someone in the office late so a moral victory from this rejection.

/desperation

Ownleme

was that an initial rejection or a post interview rejection? at least they deemed you worthy enough to let u know!

Albert_Roi

Still nothing from LK Shields....it must be a PFO at this stage.

I can't remember if they said their second round interviews were to be tomorrow or next Friday. Either way, it's bad of them not to inform those who haven't progressed to the next stage.

Tea-a-Maria

Anyone have any interview tips for Maples' first round interview?Brickin' it...

Albert_Roi

Got a call from Byrne Wallace this morning inviting me to interview.

Filfot

My friend was saying William Fry are getting back to people now re:second round interviews...I did a first round interview but have yet to hear from them.

bouchez

Anyone else hear from Fry's? Are they ringing around?

Oreo12

Have not heard anything from WF, I'm guessing that is a pfo?

Filfot

PFOs from Fry are out

Got a second round offer from Frys there around five pm.

Oreo12

Was anyone told when they would hear from MHC re second round interviews?

Albert_Roi

Nope, but I'm fairly sure I won't be getting one. Interview didn't go well at all.

Oreo12

Really sorry to hear that, not so sure myself

--homeslice--

Hi guys, got a second round interview with Frys (unbelievably shocked because I felt like I bombed with the commercial question at the end!!) and was just wondering if anybody had any experience with the second round? I've heard it's a lot more commercial based so that's freaking me out!!! any help would be really appreciated, thanks!

Oreo12

Hey! I got a second round with Frys too. It's on Wed, when is yours? Yeh, its meant to be a lot more on commercial awareness and apparently they give you a scenario as well and ask you how would you deal with it. I suppose just read the papers and know about setting up a company etc? If anyone else has tips that would be great!

--homeslice--

Yeah mine is Wednesday too! thanks for that bit of information there anyway, I think the papers will be hit hard coming up to it! I'm so nervous already!

Wannabe Solicitor

Any tips for Matheson Round 1?

Situational questions? balls. Does anyone have any examples of ones that have been used in the past, in Fry or with other interviews?

Oreo12

Anyone hear anything from MHC yet?

Albert_Roi

I haven't anyway.

Haven't heard a thing from them.....

Lola73

I guess that's kind of good news?!?!

Albert_Roi

I haven't heard from MHC but a friend of mine heard from them yesterday to invite her to a second round interview on Friday.

Guess that means it's a PFO for me. Not at all surprised...I did awful in the interview.

Eartha Braveheart

Anyone hear back from Matheson yet? How did the interviews go for ye? Also anyone going to McCann's, any tips on their style of interview?

Haven't heard anything from Matheson, they said they would let people know by close of business today...I'm expecting a PFO tho. I guess they will inform successful candidates first.

Anyone have any tips for A&L? What is this one page doc like?

Eartha Braveheart

Did it not go well for you Wannabe solicitor? So unsure as to how mine went. The questions they asked me were really tough...so hoping it's not a PFO.

No clue about A&L, sorry.

Tea-a-Maria

Got a call from Matheson just now.Anyone know what second round is like?

I went for an interview with A&L for the summer internship,and we got a hypothetical business and legal scenario to discuss.Not sure if it's quite the same thing,but if it is,try and use this methodology: Go through the issues your scenario raises,set out a course of action and most importantly, give reasons for it.I remember mine had to do with a stolen laptop and data protection implications.

Mind you,I didn't get the internship,so what do I know.:pac:

Ownleme

you've plenty of time to prepare the a&l document and you can ask questions of the trainees in the waiting room with you. they were very helpful. My one had nothing to do with current affairs. Was, as tea-a-maria said a hypothetical business scenario. Perhaps look at their values and try to figure out how they as a firm would use these values to decide how to deal with an issue.

Eartha Braveheart

I'm guessing that's a PFO from Matheson for me so. Getting so disheartened.

Wannabe Solicitor

Thanks for the advice Tea-a-Maria and Ownleme, really appreciate it!

Congrats on getting to the next round Tea-a-Maria, I can only imagine that it will be tougher and perhaps include more commercial awareness qs but you are obviously well able for it if you got this far so don't worry!

Best of luck with the other interviews anyway guys!!

Eartha Braveheart

PFO's out from Matheson anyway so if you haven't got one yet maybe you're still in with a shot for a call back Wannabe.

Law8890

Thanks Eartha but I got one too....guess I'll just have to keep trying!:rolleyes:

Eartha Braveheart

Hopefully we'll get there eventually Good luck!

Eartha Braveheart

Can anyone remember if we had to attach CV's to our McCann applications. I can't recall and I'm just wondering whether there's any point going over it study-wise now? Thanks in advance. Really appreciate it guys.

Ownleme

dont think so

Woah 10 mins....was it just a cv chat or what,,,maybe they just wanted to know who u are before they start asking commercial questions:)
