PFO for Gateley (Manchester)

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

Hi, please could you send them to me too? This is my first ever video interview and I want to be as prepared as possible.

 

[John Travoni]

I'm also waiting on Leeds - best of luck everyone!

I applied to the London office and I don’t think anyone had heard from the London office

Is it a good thing if a firm says that your application for a VS is unsuccessful (post-interview), but that they'd like to invite you to an AC for a TC? Unsure whether to be happy or not lol

 

[LeilaScott]

I know Reed Smith probably wont get back to me before next week considering tomorrow is a bank holiday and they gave the new date of 12th april, but I cant stop refreshing lol

Are BLM recruiting on a rolling basis? I thought they weren't and their deadline was mid-April?

Hey,

Did you ever find out if they were recruiting on a rolling basis?

Thank you, I would really appreciate if you could do that!

That’s amazing overall you want a TC so it’s just making the process faster

Cheers Queen! Smash that Vac Scheme and make us all proud!

Why did this make me emotional 🥺

Hey,

Their deadline is 18.04.21 for direct TC, I sent my application a week ago and they said they were gonna get in touch after the deadline. So I think it's not on a rolling basis.

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

Hey! I think they take everyone, especially as it is online now. Hope this helps!

I have a bit of an unusual question - does anyone know how likely it is that firms fund you for an LLM, for example, during the waiting period (if any) between obtaining a TC and its start date? Does anyone know of instances where this or something similar has happened? (also countering in that the GDL and LPC had been self-funded).

I can only see this as a positive.

Highly unlikely, even if the GDL and LPC have been self funded. An LLM is not a requirement for the role while the others are. The best I could see is that you get retrospectively refunded for the GDL/LPC that could help you find an LLM

Highly unlikely.

Thanks!

Feel like gateley has only send out emails to Birmingham and Manchester still seems like Leeds and london are waiting

 

[ilovetheDLR]

Anyone know if K&E are taking direct TC apps this year?

It’s looks like they’ve taken direct apps off the website. It was meant to open today. There’s nothing in the careers portal at the moment either. I guess they’ve offered all their TCs via the accelerated VS process this year.

Been put on a reserve list for Gateley Leeds AC, feels a bit odd to have a reserve list at AC stage...
