I did mine today, passed it! Haven't heard back yet though ofc, but know of people who have really early(like 5th August and the like) have not heard back. This is for the TC intake.

They are rolling, so we will probably hear back soon within the next 2 weeks I am guessing?

Can confirm I passed the SJT exactly on August 5th and haven't heard back yet, they usually get back in three weeks minimum so people will probably start seeing outcomes within the next two weeks or so. They were the first one to open whereas many aren't opening this year until mid-September to October, so they're probably seeing a lot of applications!

passed mine on the 14th but they do say they aim to get back to everyone within 21 days when you submit the app so we should hear by the end of the month/beginning of September!

Can I ask where they state we should hear back within 21 days? I don’t remember seeing that anywhere

Does anyone know if Bristows will be running Vac Schemes still? On CV Mail it’s just the workshops and TC 2023 that are open for applications with deadlines for the workshops in November. Thank you in advance

From my understanding, Bristows don’t do Vacation Schemes. They run the workshops in their place.

I still haven't head anything from Boodle since my TC interview on the 12th August.

From what I can remember, people posted that GR team had to go through a lot of application for the VS and then they would scroll through TC apps.
Good luck

I'm sorry to hear that. Sending positive vibes your way! Do you mind me asking if you had a TC interview with them a couple of weeks ago?

 

[LegalNim]

Rejection from Boodle post-app for direct TC

Nope was just post-app direct TC!

Submitted the A&O app like an hour ago, got an email saying I'll be sent the link to the SJT within an hour.. it's been an hour now, i've checked all my inboxes and haven't got the link. Is this normal?

The email also says if I haven't got the link in an hour, I should drop an email to GR using the contact details provided (but there are no contact details provided??)

Just give it until the end of the day. If you haven't received it overnight, contact them first thing tomorrow morning. Is the email a "no-reply" email? If not, just reply to that.

Thanks! I'll do that. And yes, it's a no reply. I've managed to find GR's email on the firm's website so I'll send an email to that address if i don't hear by tomorrow morning
