2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
I did the SWIFT prior to their Winter Vac last year (edit* this was actually 2019 but my concept of time is clearly out due to the pandemic! at the disco) (believe I actually did it post AC) and it genuinely never came up again so not sure at all how they utilise it- PositiveVibesOnly

Hey lovely try and keep your head up, despite having applied during uni and done a vac scheme during the summer of second year I graduated without a TC too (law at RG uni) I took a year out and worked as a legal admin at a law firm which was honestly such a good experience and really helped with...- PositiveVibesOnly

Sending a big virtual hug to you all today - seems there's been a lot of rejections going into people's emails today! Keep your head up and be proud of yourself for persevering! You'll get there- PositiveVibesOnly

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
I think what you've said is genuinely what you should do - powering through when you're feeling low probably wouldn't lead to the best applications submitted anyways, and will only make you feel worse. Definitely take some time for yourself to recharge and do whatever you feel is more manageable...- PositiveVibesOnly

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Hey, I can entirely empathise with the disappointment of interview anxiety leading to rejection when you know you could have performed better (don't worry during my second year MC VS interview I ended up fumbling my way through quite a few questions in ways I certainly hadn't planned!) Sorry...- PositiveVibesOnly

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
I’m not, no. It was hard to decide though ngl as the firms were brilliant. What it fell down to was me realising that me doing the vac schemes would take vac scheme places away from people who would love to work for those firms, and I didn’t want to do that to people when, in reality, the firm I...- PositiveVibesOnly

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Hey, yeah of course that’s entirely fine with me! Thank you so much by the way, it’s something that’s much easier to look back on now I’m through the other side. I just really want others to feel hopeful rather than hopeless as the application and rejection process felt so demoralising and...- PositiveVibesOnly

I’m glad it’s even remotely helped, I just really want you to not feel hopeless - I promise if you keep going you will get there (and I’m not saying in any way that the keeping going isn’t immensely hard at times!) ❤️ Your good news day will come and it will be worth it (even if you’d have...- PositiveVibesOnly

Thank you so much lovely! 😘 He’s my little (not so little) cockapoo called Woody, he’s nearly 11 and been a complete lifesaver during the last year with lockdown as he’s been my daily walking buddy!- PositiveVibesOnly

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Hey, I really wish I had found this forum before now - I really want to be able to now bring hope to others who are feeling down. I finally have a TC offer accepted, but it’s my fourth year. In second year uni I thought I’d managed it, I had a summer vac scheme with a MC firm, I did well, I...- PositiveVibesOnly

Hey, I had a similar AC the other week - there were 2 mini breaks and a 45 minute break but we weren’t told about them in advance of the day so I thought it was going to be more intense and back to back than it was. I had a candle next to my laptop to help with calming vibes (they give me good...- PositiveVibesOnly

Yeah always conflicted on this - as LinkedIn obviously shows when someone’s achieved something but will very rarely show the amount of rejection or years taken to get there. Always happy for connections when they’ve got somewhere, especially when you know the work they’ve put in behind the...- PositiveVibesOnly
