    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I often find it's the times I think I've nailed it that I'm not successful - not just with applications but also interviews, assignments, etc. Then there's the times where I've written myself off and somehow done well. Maybe this is just one of those times? As much as we try, I don't think we...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Oh really? I did look at my portal yesterday and it had been updated at some point during the day. Although, this is the application that I'm least confident with if I'm honest. Purely because of the format/word count and questions.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I've taken an approach this year of assuming that all my applications are unsuccessful. That way, I can be pleasantly surprised when/if I'm invited to the next stage. Plus, given that this is my final year, it means that I'm having to periodically re-assess my options and consider new opportunities.

    I applied for Manchester and haven't heard anything yet either. It's one of my strongest applications, so quite frustrating. But that's just how it goes sometimes. You can't take it personally because you just don't know all the factors - some of it just comes down to luck!

    Hill Dickinson 2019/2020 application

    Last year (I reached the interview stage) I used one example which embodied the four values and also highlighted what I believe are my strengths. But I know others who used two or three examples which evidenced them, so I don't think there is necessarily a *right* approach. It will depend on...

    The shower is also the best place to construct an argument when you're angry with somebody or something. 😅

    Oh really? That's surprising actually. Did he indicate what the % is roughly? I made the interview stage last year and fluffed it with nerves, so I'm hoping I can at least get to the scheme this time.

    Yeah, it isn't a surprise. Just isn't what you want to hear when you're anxiously waiting to hear back...

    I seem to remember this being an issue last year too - I don't know why they've persisted with it again this year, given the restrictions students have in accessing a compatible device...

    Me as the list of firms that I'm waiting to hear back from is getting longer, when it feels like it should be getting shorter.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Yes, a couple of people posted here on Friday afternoon saying that they'd been rejected - all from London. So I wouldn't worry too much at this point. I'm sure we will hear something soon.

    One after the other? Brave! Good luck - I hope at least one of them gets you to the next stage :)

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Unfortunately I'm really wary of committing to anything this year! Now just because of Covid but because i have no idea what I'll be doing in September - if I can't secure a TC this summer then I'll have to decide either to go and do the LPC, or find something else. =/ Otherwise I would love to...
