No idea actually- soon given the next are scheduled for this Fri/Sat. Yes, it was sort of intense I guess. Was yours long enough?

Definitely thought that they were out to rattle you...mine wasn't that long though!
30mins?

Does anyone know if the starting salary at MHC is the same as the other top 5?

I've heard 30k rumors..but I kinda doubt that!

Yeah, I think it is around the 30 k! Well from what I've heard! Yes around that too. Did you get when they expect to get back to everyon?

Does anyone know how if McCanns and A & L have a 2 round system too?

I know McCanns is one round.

Does anyone know much about the process? And the firm generally? They were in the back of my mind because they took so long to get back to people.

sophiehatter

Is Dillon Eustace two rounds? Anyone know anything about their interviews generally?

What do we wear to the McCanns presentation tomorrow?

sophiehatter

Do you know much about the firm? Like I was saying, I hadnt been super focused on McCanns as they took quite a while to get back to people

j80ezgvc3p92xu

Am no I kinda tend to say the same sh**te for all of them, works for the applications but does not seem to for interviews (2 PFOs so far). What does set them apart?

Yeah I know what you mean. I just kind of forgot about McCanns because they took ages to get back and they have me down for late this coming week. I suppose having the FE1 results is a good talking point now though :-)

Fair play on getting them (: I did notice that my interviews are getting slightly better with each one, so I'm hoping that come Friday I will be able to just sail through.. But will be reading the Sunday Business Post just in case (:

Ah thanks I am delighted. Although I am finding that the law firms arent that interested in the exams?

Sunday Business Post all the way; also the aul podcasts are great too! :-)

I don't know about interviewers. I asked at the presentation about the scenario and they said they hadn't decided yet.

notabasicb

Does anyone have experience of A&L and McCann interviews? I've heard A&L are tough on you in the interview.

Has anybody heard back re second round for MHC?

No. Spent several hours today staring at my phone, willing it to ring

sophiehatter

Haven't heard anything either...

Possibly a good thing that no one has heard? How did you find the interviews, Sophie and Dublad?

LPandaBear

Has anyone heard from EFC?

Em, I really don't think the first one went great-- not very bad, but I don't think I came across as well as I could have. The second one went pretty well. How about you?

Dublad2012

Ya hopefully good thing none of us have heard!

Found the last interview very tough, other two weren't so bad but unfortunately I'm not too optimistic!

I felt pretty ok coming away from it - I found they grilled me on the scenario (which I dont know was that a good thing or a bad thing?). I got a PFO from Frys that afternoon, and that made me second guess all my responses at Matheson.

I guess we will hear tomorrow or the next day? They said early next week to me anyway.

I am a restive, nauseated bundle of nerves just reading this thread.

I can feel pools of sweat gathering on my palms.

God help you all.

Hey has anyone any tips for the current affairs topics to focus on? All I can think about is the water charges bit but has anyone advice on new legislation or anything?

I don't know how helpful it is but there's always the Companies Bill and the delays in it being passed?

Had my interview with A&L this morning. Lovely bunch. Lost my voice halfway through.

Without putting yourself at a disadvantage, any tips on the general format of the interview? is there a scenario?

I didn't get asked a scenario q, but as the trainees said, current affairs were discussed. It was a pretty chill interview otherwise. 45 minutes flew by.

Yeah just did! But like my experience of these things is that the partners call when they get a chance to and could be afternoon or evening!

Aye - the question I was asked was semi-obscure, but I had demonstrated some knowledge of the area beforehand. Best of luck either way mate.

No it was a landline number! But as I said its a partner that rings you so it just depends on who it is thats calling!
Good Luck! Fingers crossed!
