    Tbf Jaysen’s email nearly had me teary-eyed. But the question I need an answer to is: which one of these two worlds do wine mums fall into????

    Everytime I see someone get a PFO on here, my heart sinks a bit. It’s like a vicarious PFO ☹️

    Out of curiosity, did anyone apply to DWF Spring Diversity Scheme through Aspiring Solicitors?

    Thanks @Rob93! Also, are they basically one of those firms that you shouldn’t apply to again if they’ve rejected you previously?

    You can! I tried to hit re-record and accidentally hit submit and it uploaded right away (T_T)

    AHhhh I'm panicking. As I started my V&E video interview, I accidentally recorded a two-second video of myself and uploaded it without even answering the first question. And now I can only record the answers to my 2nd and 3rd questions. I'm crushed. Is there any way around this? @Jessica Booker...

    Just got a video interview from Weil! If anyone has done one before, I’d be grateful for advice. I was just hoping to know whether (1) we can re-record our answers to the questions? and (2) what I should do to prepare? Yeezus, I feel like such a fraud - how did I go from being a classics major...

    K, I know I said I wanted a hot body, a Bugatti, and a Maserati but… mama just got a Watson Glaser invite from Weil, y’all. A little shocked. I applied on December 26th and assumed it was a PFO. If anyone has suggestions for the test I’d be very grateful.

    Okay, this is weird, I got a Vinson & Elkins video interview. My first video interview ever. CLEARLY TRYING TO DERAIL MY FUTURE AS A WINE MUM. On a more serious note, I’d really appreciate it if anyone could give me some pointers. I don’t know why, but I feel quite ill thinking about a video...

    This might be covered elsewhere, but I thought I might as well ask: If none of my vac scheme applications pan out, is it even worth applying to direct training contracts? I've had solid summer work experience doing legal aid, but I get the feeling that that alone won't convince recruiters I'm...
