    Hi Jacob - if asked about something similar in an interview with the London office of a US firm, would it be okay to use a story/company with a stronger nexus to the US?

    Sounds like they got way more applications than they expected to - some people heard back quicker with PFOs so lets hope for the best 🤞🏽

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    If a firm has not gotten back to you on the outcome of an application within the timeframe they provided, how long after should you wait to email them?

    Did anyone hear back from Willkie more than 10 days after the initial application? I applied 10 working days ago on 26 Jan and was expecting to hear back today as per the confirmation email.

    I would mention that you had submitted your application before the deadline but got no confirmation of receipt. You can either forward your original email containing the application or attach it.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, a question on an application form asks to "provide details of any careers events you have attended". I have some open days coming up at two competitor firms and thought it would be useful to include these. Is it okay to include them or should I take the question literally and only...
