I literally just saw it and was going to message you! I can’t deal with all the suspense.Hey
Did you receive an email from Shoosmiths?
This is part of it:
So, we have now made the difficult decision to cancel our summer vacation placement due to take place in June.
We’re sorry you won’t be able to experience face-to-face time with Shoosmiths, but we will be arranging alternative ways to engage with our people including more #ShoosmithsLIVE videos and Q&As.
For anyone who has submitted a vacation placement application this year, please rest assured you will still be considered for our training contract vacancies. We’re closely monitoring this challenging situation and expect there to be some changes or postponement to our assessment process, which we will notify you about as soon as possible. We hope you will understand that we cannot be any clearer at this point in time given the pace of change around us, but we will be in touch as soon as plans have been confirmed
I literally just saw it and was going to message you! I can’t deal with all the suspense.
Me too! I did wonder whether it would come to that. Have you applied to other firms?Me neither!!! Re read the email several times actually lol panic speed read and then re read !!
We'll wait and see what happens but it feels so uncertain, obv because of everything that is going on
No I literally just did Shoos and was starting to apply to one that closed its applications early. I’m just not sure whether to apply to more with all this uncertainty, I feel like the process is nerve wracking as it is.Yeah I have, I received a bunch of my rejections in Feb and then took a break from it all.
What about you?

Sorry to hear about the rejections, hopefully you’ll get some good news soon!
