    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I haven't heard back after the telephone interview either. I guess it's a rejection for me then :/

    Definitive Guide to Law Firm Interviews! *Monday Article Series*

    Hi @Jacob Miller Thanks for your reply on my query regarding the NRF TI over on the Direct Training Contract thread? The email from Grad Rec says to expect questions "to explore your experience and motivations for applying". I am an international student, and not the most familiar with this...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I am preparing for my NRF telephone interview, I was wondering if anyone could guide me on how long an average answer should be? Is 2 minutes for an answer a good rule of thumb, or too long? I ask, because I've made the mistake of having answers that are too long before and don't want that to...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Quick Q: Has anyone heard anything further from NRF (for the direct TC) after being told they have been selected for a telephone interview? It's April now so thought it might be time to start hearing on timelines etc?

    Sullivan & Cromwell Interview

    Hi! I know I am writing in quite a while after your message - but I was wondering if you had any idea if S&C offers most of its TCs to its vacation schemers or if they also take people through the direct training contract application process? I am trying to plan out what direct TC applications...

    Same, but sent them an email today asking for an update. They gave the same response that a few others on this forum have mentioned, that they are still screening applications and will be in touch regarding the outcome of applications by mid-March.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Shearman PFO for me too for the Spring Vac. Kind of sad because I was very invested in the firm, attended all their events and I thought that I turned in a good app. Oh well!

    In the same boat as you - but apparently GR said that they will be sending out WG invites until early March? Trying to stay positive, but expecting a PFO at this point lol

    Has FF been sending any PFOs? My portal updated on Feb 3 and I haven't heard anything from them since. While GR said they are still reviewing and sending out WGs, can't help but feel a bit stressed out that I haven't heard a word!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Haven't heard from them at all - and not heard much on this forum either, except for a few people posting about interview invites in the week following the deadline.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    It doesn't seem like they're following any particular order. I applied on the deadline but haven't heard yet either

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Does anybody know if NRF considers the WG in isolation to progress candidates to the telephone interview stage? Or do they consider both the app and the WG test results?

    I applied just a few minutes before the deadline!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I haven't done it yet either, was wondering how long after I might expect to hear from them haha. Could anyone refer me to any good (and free!) resources to get better at WG? I did the free tests on JobTestPrep and didn't do well at all - so definitely a bit panicky now!

    Has anyone heard from NRF after completing their WG?

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Has anyone been getting PFOs from FF? Or is it just: 'Portal updating --> WG invite', and 'Portal updating ---> silence' for everyone??
