Well if you think it's going to be a problem, unless you've mentioned it in your application for some reason (which would be quite weird if you didn't go, imho) just don't bring it up. Ultimately an interview is your chance to talk about your experiences, and it follows that you should be able...- Matt_96

Same to you! Yeah I really like them so I'll be a little gutted if I'm rejected. What makes me nervous is that I think the interview went ok, but I was one of the first 3 people the recruiter interviewed, so she now gets to compare me to loads of other candidates who I'm sure were equally good...- Matt_96

I'm starting to think that they might be doing other offices outside of London first because I'd imagine it gets the most applicants. This is just conjecture on my part though.- Matt_96

Yes, I'm still waiting on BCLP and AG. I think my apps were rubbish though having looked through them again more recently so I'm expecting a PFO. Links is already making Summer VS offers. I have a friend who has just gotten one.- Matt_96

Yes. I won't go in to specifics but essentially I asked for an adjustment to their AC which they promised (via email so I still have a written record of it) but it never materialised. When I mentioned it afterwards the recruiter told me it didn't happen and I should have let them know ahead of...- Matt_96

If you applied for the Summer VS I don't believe they've got back to anyone yet. I know I'm still waiting anyway!- Matt_96

Travers Smith is well known for being the James May of law firm graduate recruitment (aka Captain Slow). In the last cycle, I applied for the Direct 2022 TC in November 2019 (so extremely comfortably before the deadline). In July 2020 they got back to me to say 'lol soz we filled all our places...- Matt_96

Cheers pal. Any idea what these questions are? I've seen the one that seems to be puzzling everyone on challenging group members above, but curious to know if there's any others.- Matt_96

This is so interesting. When I spoke to an AG grad rec at a virtual law fair at the end of last year, she told me proudly that they weren't doing VI's because they weren't 'inclusive'. I wonder why they changed their mind!- Matt_96

Are you sure? I was under the impression that I was supposed to be sent a second set of more commercially focused questions. The only ones I have answered were about my hobbies. Nothing about the firm at all.- Matt_96

Ok ok, so I applied for RS's summer vac scheme, did the first set of questions and passed their SJT but I have heard absolutely nothing since then. Is this because they are still going through Spring vac scheme process? Should I be worried that I haven't even been sent the second set of...- Matt_96
