    Just had my McCann's interview. Such a lovely experience with two very genuine, nice people - not sure if that's just them being nice or if we vibed, but it was the first interview that met that elusive goal of just feeling like a normal conversation. The whole thing sold me on the firm in a big way.

    Agreed- the best interview I’ve had so far (not in terms of my own performance but as interview processes go).

    Just had mine there, they're super short compared to other interviews I found (they have a fairly strict 25-30 min limit). I wasn't asked anything like 'why corporate law'; 'why matheson', simply because they didn't have time to, cause I spoke quite extensively about my work experience and college experience. Not sure whether that's a negative/makes them think I'm not interested in corporate law, given that I didn't have a chance to tell them why I wanted to work in the commercial sphere. The two interviewers I had were super nice and friendly, made me feel very at ease and like McCann's was a very relaxed dynamic.

    Oh, also, I had a current affairs Q organically came up as a result of my NGO work experience - not sure whether they ask one in every interview.

    I got an offer earlier in the week to be accepted by the end of today. I would say they are holding off on sending PFOs to second round interviewees until they have a confirmation of offers accepted. So there’s every chance more offers could be issued next week depending on the uptakes at COB today.

    How did people find the Matheson interview? I’m finding it very difficult to figure out how it went, mine was mainly conversational but I also didn’t feel like the partners I was being interviewed by had very set questions they wanted to ask & were more so just slowly going through my application. Anyone else?

    Mine was quite conversational, some skills and competency questions and some current affairs

    Yes, very conversational for me too. Lots of open ended "tell me about" kind of questions in relation to my application and seemed happy to let me speak without challenging. Seemed very chill considering its just one interview round

    See this is what worries me - I wasn’t asked any competence based questions / current affair questions and I’m just hoping this was because some interviewers took a different approach as opposed to them having already ‘crossed me off’ if that makes sense

    I know! Initially I was relieved coming out as no tricky questions but now i'm second guessing everything! I felt they left it to me to steer the conversation around to talk about my experience, skills, challenges, etc and at the end they asked if I had anything else I wanted to talk about or add
    Having said that, they did go through my application thoroughly and I think my interview went quite over time
    Very hard to know how to interpret...

    I’m hoping it went well but I’m in the exact same boat �� it’s going to be a long week

    RDJ APPLICATION

    In RDJs application it says you have to be ready to start PPC 1 in January 2020, I always thought PPC I only ever started in Autumn? Are there two PPC I run each year?

    I would say they mean that you have to have all FE1s passed in Jan 2020 and available to start in office

    I didn’t apply to McCann but was told by A&L and Matheson that the top 5 have all agreed to get back on Friday. Presumably means they’re not taking each other’s trainees.

    No it’s just one round. They said they’d be in touch this week so I imagine it’ll be Friday with the others :)
