    Have invites been sent out already? I'm starting to worry I haven't made the cut now! Oh well.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Has anyone received the second set of questions at all? I did the first bit and passed the online test but have heard absolutely nothing since. I remember them saying they'd be back in touch with the next questions by the end of the month though.

    DAC Beachcroft Video Interview/Assessment Centre

    I can't give you any tips but can I ask when you applied? I put mine in pretty close to the deadline so I'm quite curious to know what my chances of it actually being taken seriously are.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Totally unrelated to your comment but I just wanted to say that I asked you a few weeks ago about a tricky cover letter-style application question and your advice got me through to my first vac scheme interview of the cycle, which I had yesterday! Thank you so much for all of your insight! It is...

    Mishcon rejection at app stage. How some firms judge application forms will forever remain a mystery to me!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I'm currently answering this question: What do you consider to be the key attributes of a lawyer in business? What kind of qualities and expertise do you think they should have? Can you give us an example of where you have demonstrated these qualities? Do you think it would be...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    What is the deal with Reed Smith's app form? Am I going nuts? It feels like they've missed out a section as the only questions seem to be about extracurricular activities. Do we just have to demonstrate all of our skills etc in the work experience sections?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Got my first rejection of the 2023 cycle from Jones Day. Very quick turnaround as I only applied on Nov 27th. Maybe I took a little too much inspiration from its name by completing my app in just one day...

    BCLP TC app question

    So for the sectors/departments question, does 'departments' refer to the way BCLP has grouped its various practices (i.e. Tax & Private Client work are under one group that doesn't really fall into a sector) or is it just another word for sectors?

    Withers Verbal and Numerical Reasoning Assessments

    Thanks for letting us know. How did you get ahold of this info? When I emailed Grad Rec I was given a very mysterious answer which deliberately did not specify which testing provider was used, and only that you can practice 'verbal and numerical tests' online.

    Which Law Firms use an Online Test? 2018-19

    Does anyone have any clue what BCLP is doing in regards to online tests? Their 2021 brochure says they have an online test but I'm struggling to find details and whether it differs from the one listed above.

    Withers Verbal and Numerical Reasoning Assessments

    I only sent an email at around 4:30 today. I'll let you know if I hear anything but it might not be for a while.

    Withers Verbal and Numerical Reasoning Assessments

    I have no idea and would like to know also - I think the answer may be to send graduate recruitment an email. They will expect that people will want to prepare for it, so unless they deliberately want to be difficult I doubt they will keep that info secret!
