2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Legal Chick]

I'm thinking that if we havent heard from Latham for Winter VS by now, we're on the scrap heap

I’m also still waiting- quite worried now

Right this may be a bit of a dumb question.
I have a video interview that I need to do asap.
The email said "deadline for this interview is 12 November 2020 (GMT+00:00)". So does that mean the deadline is midnight tonight (weds)? or midnight tomorrow (thurs)?

Rejection from sidley for winter, however they said my application impressed them and they are going to contact me in January if I’ve been selected to interview for spring & summer.
anyone know if this is a generic email?

Congrats! Definitely not generic, I got the classic PFO.

I would say that’s midnight tonight, as midnight tomorrow would be the 13th

They LOVE it when you talk about their culture but I asked a grad rec woman what misconception they’d change about the firm and she said that students assume that it’s going to be chill because they have good culture but you will still work extremely hard.

Hi congratulations on the VI! Which office did you apply for?

 

[WannabeSolicitor24]

For the Sidley application question: In your view, which personal qualities make a successful lawyer?

Did people link this to their own skills through their experiences, or remain really factual and just describe the skills?

Thanks
