2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
I recommend keeping yourself occupied with maybe a tv programme, reading a book or going for a walk. The nerves are unbearable the hours before an interview and the only way I manage to deal with it is keeping my self occupied. Time goes quicker and by the time it’s 1 hour / 30 mins away I no...- hopefullawyer123

19th of Feb. He mentioned that they aim to get back to people in 7 working days, but I don’t think that is the case considering people are only hearing back from December- hopefullawyer123

Ahh thanks! I am so conflicted. My family members say I shouldn’t mention it. However, that may be because they don’t know enough about this profession and the application process. I don’t want to be disadvantaged in any way by telling them- hopefullawyer123

Many thanks. Would it come across to the graduate recruitment unfavourably to inform them that I already have a VS elsewhere? If so, I could always give another reason for wanting to be considered for a TC. Also, should I want until after the telephone interview so that they can get to know more...- hopefullawyer123

I have just discovered that the dates of the VS for the firm clash with the dates of another VS I have already been successful in gaining. How do I go about explaining this to Grad Recruitment?- hopefullawyer123

Hi @Jessica Booker , I hope you are well. I’ve been invited to complete a telephone interview with a firm. If successful, I will be invited to an AC. I have applied for the VS, but in hindsight I could have applied for the direct TC. For example, I already have legal experience. Should I say...- hopefullawyer123

It may be the case that these scores are not relevant to the VI at all and are just in relation to the application form as @Kieran Tierney suggests. It says my application portal hasn’t been updated since late December yet I have the scores. Regardless, I really do hope we hear back tomorrow so...- hopefullawyer123
