Has anyone else been ghosted by Stephenson Harwood for their Spring Vac? Applied in November and heard nothing since
I was ghosted for the winter vac until the end of Dec. They emailed saying that I wasn't shortlisted for winter but enjoyed reading my app and would consider me for the Spring and Summer schemes. Haven't heard from them since/seen anyone else with AC invites so I wouldn't worryHas anyone else been ghosted by Stephenson Harwood for their Spring Vac? Applied in November and heard nothing since

Hey, I thought I was ghosted last year for their spring vac, but I heard back in March and got an AC for a TC!
I had a vac scheme interview the other day and keep thinking about the fact that the senior partner cracked a joke about wanting to get drunk with his mates at the pub lol. Is it a good thing that he was joking around or do you think he was trying to catch me out to see how I’d respond ? Probably just overthinking this haha
I think he was just making a joke and its probably a good sign of how comfortable he was with you - you probably built good rapport if jokes are flying! If you've made it to interview, the firm likes you and wants to hire you. You just need to show your skills during interview. So they generally won't do things to "trick" you as they want you to do well. If it was a trick then that just reflects poorly on the firm using such deceptive tactics, not you. But I really doubt it was a trick. From my experience, interviewers are pretty casual like that.
They rejected my application a day after I sent it in and never contacted my reference, so no, it isn't automatic!
Jones day vs interview invite!!!! Amazed thought they wouldn’t want me after all the mess with my references! Submitted on the 23rd of December, they asked for references on the 24th and heard back today. Any tips would be so appreciated!
Oh wow that's incredible! Maybe I should stop being so impatient
Good luck, fingers crossed! Hopefully you'll hear from them soon
He was probably trying to see if you are personable/fit in with the culture of the firm. If you didn’t laugh or just stood there with a blank face I reckon that’s he only time it might be a bad sign! Lawyers are humans too
Yeah that’s also fair! luckily I did laugh and carried on the conversation haha
Congratulations! When did you apply? I haven't heard anything from them yet.
Sadly not - hoping this will be the week they get back to us!
I applied very late... on the 7th (not too proud of that). Also not sure that this is a progression in terms of the stages - have been hearing mixed things. Hope that helps!
Hi! Did anyone else find the Simmons & Simmons logical test ridiculously hard? !
I haven't been contacted yet re my reference so I assume not automatic?
