    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I am in the same boat; I applied to the spring scheme and was rejected today. I had my application checked by multiple people, including trainees at the firm, career advisors & my AS Aspire coach. I did identify a mistake I made when inserting my work experiences (I mixed up the years in which I...

    I agree, but at the same time, they look at your application alongside the WG score! So even if you have scored lower in the WG test than you wanted to, you may still have a chance if you have a strong application! For instance, I scored 97% on the WG test for Linklaters but was still not...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Anyone else still waiting to hear back from White & Case - Spring Vac Scheme? I applied mid-November and have seen people in this forum receive VI and ACs already. I put a lot of work into this application, but I am unsure if I should give up on being progressed.

    Hi @Dheepa @Naomi U @Jacob Miller I am currently preparing for my upcoming interview with Withers. I wondered if you could advise me on how to best prepare for an interview with a (predominantly) private client law firm (Withers) as opposed to commercial law firms? I have interviewed with a...
