Partner alumni from my school agreed to help me get into Mck and help me case. However, I did not do so hot on our first live case. You think it’s still safe to ask for a referral as I keep practicing?

I wouldn’t ask for a referral after that...I’d let them volunteer it

They will refer you without you having to ask, if they like you and see potential. Just ask for advice, keep practicing (maybe with some other ppl) then go back to them once you’re better to do another case, but don’t ask for an explicit referral

Show that you’re committed to improving!

like

Maybe not referral but perhaps ask for feedback and follow up with your plans of improvement or updates progress. Then let’s see where things take place

Thanks for the responses - I’ll keep at it! What if she has previously mentioned she’d reach out to recruiting for me months ago?

Then likely she already did and it’s on you to actually pass the interviews now

Do large law firms really recieve enough applications for a position that they cannot follow up when someone reaches out to check on thier application? I get that if you have to reach out, they probably weren't interested anyways, I'm just curious why there is a practice of just leaving applicants in the wind. And also, how does one go about finding out why they were rejected, if thier qualifications are "impressive"?

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?
