    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I applied on the 13th December and did the WG on the 24th. My application now says last updated 11th January (yesterday), so honestly no idea! I know they've handed out some rejections though so no news is good news at this stage I would say :)

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    @Jessica Booker, for a question asking 'what current issues do you think have an impact on the legal profession?', am I okay to talk about how an issue might impact specific sectors at a firm, or do you think they are looking for something more general (i.e. the whole legal profession)? Thanks...

    I think you want to include how you would potentially approach the situation, but then also show how you've utilised their core values in a past experience of challenging a colleague.

    Reed Smith Post SJT

    It took about 2 weeks for me from the time I did the SJT to being sent the research questions. I'm not sure how they judge your SJT, but if it helps, I passed to the next stage and my 3 strengths were Attention to Detail, Collaboration and Social Adaptability too.:)

    I completed my SST on the 20th December, received the next round of questions on the 4th January :) So about 2 weeks, but of course it was the middle of Xmas around this time too, so I imagine it will be less time for you.

    I've just logged onto the portal, and it's the same for me! No education history or answer to the commercial question. I imagine it'll be the same for everyone so I wouldn't worry :)
