btw does anyone know what HSF usually asks on their VS apps?
One from last year‘s spring VS:

  • Introduce us to a topic you know about and explain why it interests you.
    (We are looking for structure and succinctness in your answer. Your answer does not need to be related to law or HSF and it is a chance for us to find out more about you and your interests)
    (Up to 300 words, inclusive of character limit)
  • Why are you interested in pursuing a career at Herbert Smith Freehills?
    (Up to 300 words, inclusive of character limit)
  • What skills, qualities and attributes would you bring to the role?
    (Up to 300 words, inclusive of character limit)

Has anyone received an AC invite from AG with an August date? I haven't received anything back from them post application, so I can only assume it's a PFO especially if AC's are set to be carried out in the next couple of weeks.

Do you need to have had a perfect interview to progress? Completely overthinking an interview I had yesterday and realising all my mistakes!
Absolutely not. I got a vs at linklaters this year and my feedback on certain questions was that my answers could have been stronger. You are not supposed/going to be perfect, nor are they expecting you to be. Try not to panic - I know it’s easier said than done! Good luck!

Hi - does anyone know when I should submit an application for a self-funded law conversion course starting this Sept, as a backup option while waiting for TC outcomes? Would you advise doing that? Or instead, wait until I hear back from firms, or let firms know I would require an outcome asap before the BPP/ULaw application deadline? (maybe @Jessica Booker ?)

Hey, can you explain what PFO means ( sorry if it sounds dumb to ask). Also I’m waiting for AC email post VI for AG. I did it on the 10th.
