    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    So for them, is just an application and then if they are impressed they invite you to AC, or is there other stages? The website is not very clear on the process.

    Checking emails: Applications Anonymous 6pm club?

    Can report that today was much better than last Friday, which was probably the worst day since I started applying this time around. Admittedly, I did check my email a few times as I was expecting other emails but definitely feel better not checking it every five minutes. I do feel a bit restless...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I also think, in addition to what Naomi said, that this could be significant in seeing for example, if that particular firm is promoting its own lawyers compared to hiring from other firms. Some firms often do lateral hires of partners from their competitors, while others might prefer to promote...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Thank you! Thank you! I just always thought the direct TC route would be more challenging but I see what you mean.

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Thank you! I have read it before and found it very useful. But I was wondering more about the difference in difficulty of the recruitment process between a vac scheme and a direct TC. Logically, I think that the process of applying for a direct TC would be more demanding and challenging, with...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    What, really? Do you have a link to the thread on TSR? I saw that some people got interview invites, but I didn’t think they would be interviewing nor making offers until they have reviewed the majority of their applications. Like by the time they review all applications, they probably would...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi guys, so I am wondering about the whole TC application process. Is it generally harder than if you were applying for a vacation scheme? So for example, at an interview, would there be higher expectations or need to score higher? I am just trying to understand if there are any differences in...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I feel so drained of constantly checking my email and waiting for responses. How are people handling the wait? It feels firms are taking much, much longer this year. What are your distractions? Netflix has been my friend recently but I think I might have to delete my email app....though I...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Oh yeah, I remember seeing a few people on here sharing this. I don't know, a few people asked about hearing back and that's what the grad recruiter said. At this point, I wish firms were more detailed and open about their recruitment process and time-scales. I am tired of wondering about each...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I was at this event with Latham and they said that applicants for their vacation schemes would hear back by mid-February as they are currently busy reviewing applications.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Do people feel like this year it is much more competitive? Like there are much more applications than usual or something? I don't know if it is because of the pandemic, but last year and the year before that felt somewhat more....more "straightforward"....less waiting time etc...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jess, I was wondering what kind of things would you expect to read in applicants' answers to the following question: Please list anything else you believe strengthens your application. 300 There was already a question on positions of responsibilities, activities and interests + a cover...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Can I ask - does everyone who applies to Mayer Brown get asked to do their SS and VR tests or is it just those whose applications they like?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I am surprised that no one seems to have heard from White&Case given that they recruit on a rolling basis and I know people who have applied months ago!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I agree with all of the comments above. Definitely think that while rejection sucks, it is part of the process and you just have to keep going until you find the right fit for you! I got to the AC for two years in a row for one firm I really liked - the first year they told me that just a tiny...

    Is anyone familiar with Latham & Watkins? How long do they usually take to respond after applying?
