Sheer determination must be a practising lawyer at Delhi hc.
Hey! How was the interview? Did you get the internship? Also have all the interns at Khaitan mandatorily cracked the interview?
OP Here - Just thought I'd update people for future reference. The reference worked, I did get an interview for the team I applied for.
I got it at Noida, hehe. The fun part is that I a had no contacts and neither I study at an NLU or elite law school. Got it through sheer determination.....
I feel it really depends upon the circumstances. Usually, anything below Partner doesn't work. However, sometimes if they have vacancies, it might work out. I got referred to Trilegal by an Associate, and got an interview.
PPO is often without any reference. Or atleast not just because of a reference. Need to put the work and have that attitude.
Internship reference and PPOs are two different things that work differently.
Depends on the team. I worked for a team where the partners took comments / feedback from all Associates, SAs and PAs before giving out PPO Interview Calls
I have applied for a specific team and all of my experience is with other t1 firms who specialize in that field, still the HR won't offer an internship interview?
Honestly, anything below a partner level is a tough nut.
