    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    To reiterate what Jessica said, NRF had 1,000+ applicants for their WVS and only had 10 places so it's super competitive (not just at NRF but everywhere else). To get passed the (1) application review and (2) WG is an achievement in itself but I realise that's very cliché. This process is...

    Covington doesn't recruit on a rolling basis and today is the first working day since they closed applications on Friday. On the website, it says we'll hear back within 3 weeks after the deadline so we should find out by mid-Feb.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey! HSF recruit on a non-rolling basis. This means that they wouldn't respond to anyone until after the deadline has passed and so, everyone has a fair chance/everyone's at the same level. Did you apply for Spring? I've seen a bunch of AC invites and rejections for the Spring scheme but...

    No no, they're asking in the context of the old UCAS points. 360 is AAB at A-level. Good luck!

    Mayer Brown Tests

    It's difficult, right?! So I mentioned something like "When I worked as an X at X, I did this..." but it was literally dropping my job title, the employer and what I did that's relevant to the question. It wasn't anything elaborate like a STAR thing. I just didn't feel the vibe that I needed to...

    Mayer Brown Tests

    Hi all! Had my phone interview earlier today. Here's some insight: No prep required - I wasn't asked any competency questions (name a time when you X) nor motivational questions (why Mayer Brown). They genuinely just want to know your honest answer to strength-based scenarios/questions. It...
