2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[law89]

Its probably a lot of pages ago now but I’m fairly sure someone on here was in contact with GR and they said everyone was given a VI (unsure if it was benchmarked and thats how the apps were used but I think they said it was everyone). Its their first year doing it so maybe they didn’t realise how much work it’d be? 😂

Ah okay! Haha yeah I can imagine that might be the case if everyone did one! I just heard back btw! Hope you hear back with good news too ☺️

I’m honestly doubtful bc I had very little grit according to my pillars 😂. I’ve not heard back yet but honestly it’s ok if it’s a no and I’ve had worse rejections, well done to you lovely and best of luck!! ❤️

Definitely a significant number of TCLA-ers interviewing at Latham...

I asked a question at the end that was suggested in @Neville Birdi 's post (what would you change about the firm) and the interview told me "there must be someone online telling everyone to ask that question because its the 6th time I've heard it this week"... definitely thought I bottled it then!!

(It is a good question though lol)

It is why your independent thought in interviews is important. Just repeating what someone else has told you to say is risky.

Gateley AC! Well looks like the pillars didnt matter as much as I thought 😂. Manchester office, told via email. Week commencing 19 April.

Hey, I know this is for the wrong forum but I figured you guys may have been involved/applying for this open day in previous years. For Evershed Sutherland, any idea if they accept every applicant for their insight day or not? Cheers

Today, I have received my first training contract offer (they could have chosen a day other than April Fools)

Man oh man, a tonne of weight is off my shoulders. No more applications, open days, competencies, nonsense grad rec, "when did you apply", weekends spent prepping

“Nonsense grad rec”

In all seriousness, congratulations 🥳

 

[Nuzi99]

I have done it twice before and will have the questions somewhere I’ll dig them out!

Hello. I also have a video interview with Womble Bond Dickinson and I would love if you could share them with me too. Thank you

Huge congrats that's fantastic news! Be honest, how many times did you ask if this was an April Fools' joke? 😂 Which firm is it if you don't mind me asking?
