    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Yes. They sent the same email a second time a few hours after the first one and then the portal had a pending interview.

    How does it being virtual affect it? I'm guessing it makes it more accessible and therefore more competitive as geographic location is no longer a factor, but I may be missing something.

    Ashurst 2020/2021

    Someone said the above a while back. Depending on how well the other two sections went, even a low emotify score shouldn't be disqualifying if the rest was strong but I guess that depends on how low it was.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Got invited to AC for Ashurst just now, but there is no pending invite in the app portal for the interview. Is there ever/usually a delay with this? I've been super paranoid about any good news lately. Edit: They got back to me :D

    Query about: Big Tech Regulation - US Government Sues Google

    The easy answer is that through its market dominance, google has squeezed out any possible alternative which could be better than it. For example, google is not particularly good at vertical search and has bullied and delisted vertical search engines in the past in order to remain the dominant...

    LPC Grade

    Its really hard to say. It depends on how your application looks overall and which firms you are applying to, although many of them probably won't look at a pass very positively. Since you have mitigating circumstances (and being hospitalised is definitely valid), you should include them in...

    You likely qualify under the Tier 5 - Government authorised exchange: https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-government-authorised-exchange. Read up on that and if you have questions DM me. I don't qualify for youth mobility either but plan to stay in the UK after my visa expires in January on this form of...

    Pointing out a bias by replying to a post isn't exactly taking anything out on somebody but apparently the threshold is quite low here. My sincerest apologies. Edit: To echo your sentiment from yesterday: Thanks for the disagree vote too - very mature of you.

    Less than 10 minutes ago you decided to correct someone who said that the firms admitted to the issues being their error, not the candidates. You took the time to explain that no, their lived experience is actually wrong and it wasn't down to the firm. Either you think that Johan is lying or the...

    Its quite telling that you feel the need to really dig in that candidates are the ones making the mistakes rather than grad rec. I understand that you have probably seen many applications with errors and gotten emails asking about rejections that likely annoyed you, but this response almost...

    Apparently this question isn't worth answering. Guess we are to assume grad rec is infallible.

    They dont even disallow multiple applications in the same year or cycle. It says so on their site. So if you and I were rejected for that reason Im going to be real ticked I spent time on an app because I trusted the FAQ. https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en-gb/careers/graduates/apply/faq

    I think its an error too. I emailed and called multiple times. Calls won't even connect. :( Whats really pissing me off is that I have a disability and meet their minimum criteria so Im supposed to get further than app stage per their own grad rec site. I'm just going to keep calling but at...

    Simmons is an incredibly odd test. I know of three people who have TCs and have passed every test for every other firm with no issue that have failed Simmons. Something I didn't like about the test is that a lot of the offered options aren't mutually exclusive, which most other SJTs at least...

    Its likely there for people who received letter grades rather than, or in addition to, number grades. My US undergraduate degree only gave me letter grades, with no percentages at all, so A's, B's, C's etc.
