    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I know you didn't ask me personally but trance is my go-to music when I need a pick me up. I guess most of you won't be too familiar with it, since it peaked in popularity when you would have been very young.

While it's obviously important for self-improvement to reflect on failures and areas of weakness, I think many of us are guilty of not acknowledging...

    The best way is just not to check your emails more than once or twice a day. You won't get an invite/rejection any quicker by not checking your emails. And you're only going to become frustrated or anxious.

    Congrats! I haven't done it (still waiting to hear back myself). Just thought you'd get a better response if you specified. Good luck!

    Good luck! But even if its not good news then please don't take it to heart. I took it so personally last year when my top ("dream") firm rejected me before the AC. As others have said, firms get SO many applications. Sometimes the factors in being successful are completely beyond our control...

    I'll be 31 next month but I believe that birthdays don't count during a lockdown so I'll be sticking at 30. 😎

    I do think that at least some of it comes down to luck, so I wouldn't be disheartened about it. If you keep creating opportunities, eventually you will succeed in taking one of them!

    Ah really sorry to hear this! I guess on the bright side, having a couple at once means you can move past them all a bit quicker! Are you still waiting to hear back from other applications?

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I noticed that a couple of the firms I applied to this year (Addleshaw Goddard and Irwin Mitchell, off the top of my head) have scrapped their A level requirements altogether. It does seem like something more firms are putting aside now.

    Do you mean Addleshaw Goddard? They don't have a WG in their recruitment process - the next stage is a telephone interview. I haven't seen anybody say that they'd been invited yet though.
