2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[cogito ergo sum]

Has anyone applied for Boodle Hatfield? Heard from them? I haven't started applying yet and they have a strenuously long application form (4+ 500 word questions ). Don't want to waste my time if they are handing out VI or ACs

Did you apply to the vacation scheme? I believe they are non-rolling

I did a vacation scheme with Boodle Hatfield in July. When I applied the applications were non-rolling. I sent my application in early January, and then had an interview mid February. I don't know if they are non-rolling this cycle- it might be worth checking just to be safe.

They genuinely read all the applications so it is well worth taking your time! Best of luck

Rejection from simmons post VI (did it around three weeks ago so I was expecting this) - kind of glad to be put out of my misery!

Hi everyone - Reed Smith new question: Taking into account the firm's values and drawing upon your experiences, would you feel confident enough to challenge your colleagues if they were carrying out a process incorrectly?

How would you approach/structure such a question???

For me they said it could be around the end of this week. Not sure if they're doing any more ACs this week.

Oh - I did mine quite a while ago and they said the 23rd onwards (if i remember correctly), when did you do your AC?

I haven't heard back following the application process either. Considering I sent my application on the 1st October, I'm going to assume it is a rejection. Has anyone had a rejection yet from Travers post-app?

That is very helpful, thanks!

Not heard anything back either, I'm assuming it's a rejection. However, common advice given is to remain optimistic so maybe they are so amazed by our applications that they forgot to respond

@Jessica Booker @Jaysen

I am not an expert on their values but I’d make sure I understood them and how it fits into this scenario. I would also thing about when I have tried to change an established approach to something or had to influence others and use that as evidence to back up my ability to say how I would deal with this situation.

Hi - I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to prep for a written case study for SH? Not quite sure what it will entail so want to cover all bases. Thank you!

Are you sure they are non-rolling? Their deadline is in Jan

I saw someone in this thread say that they have an AC this week - unsure if this is for the winter vac scheme but they did say they’d get back to us this week.

Does anyone know if Mayer Brown SJT/critical thinking test invites are automatic?
