Depends on the word limit of the app I think but yes I would try to provide some detail on what you learnt about the work etc.
I tend to write about if I attending a workshop or a practice area talk. This way you can demonstrate commercial awareness/understanding of law firms as businesses
Thanks! I’m the same (applied for winter but got transferred to summer) but haven’t heard yet.
Nope nothing yet, but I read somewhere on the forum that they don't start getting back to people till the end of January/FebruaryHas anyone heard back from Pinsent Masons vac scheme application yet?
I filled out the White & Case form yesterday, which included this question. I put my first-year schemes in the work experience section, so for this question I just put down all the presentations and firm events I attended this autumn and included a very brief description of what the event covered (usually just one sentence).
The way I think of it, the work experience section is for anything where you actually did something, and the careers events section is for anything you just sat and listened to.
Applied 29th
Received WG 5th Jan
I wouldn't worry they are probably processing lots of applications and VI at the moment
Best of luck!
I applied on the 28th too and also haven't heard anything back yet. I'm guessing they were just flooded with apps in the days before the deadline.

Hi - was just wondering if you had any advice for the Bristows VI? I got an invite but it's my first time doing one so I've got no clue what to expect, would be grateful for any tips!Did you get a screen after the VI saying they’ll get back by the 23rd Jan?
That’s horrendously fast given it’s partners who are reviewing them
Good luck and hope to see you at the AC!
Hi - was just wondering how you found the Bristows VI and if you've got any advice?! If you don't mind would be great to know how long it lasted, how many questions they asked etc. Thanks in advance!Bristows have started replying to TC apps! Just received a VI invite
There are three questions and there aren’t any curveball questions, though you only get 15 seconds to think about your answer so I be wary of over-preparing!
Sorry I don't have an answer to your qu, but did you get your results after completing the test?
