What time on the deadline? Do you think they would send them in batches?

I sent it early in the morning of the 31st. They might do! I only received my invite a couple of hours ago so they might be sending out more later on/ in the next few days

Got an email from PWC asking about right to work documents/BRP etc-- anyone else receive this? Still waiting from my outcome post game-based assessment

I got the email too, not sure if they sent it after they have seen our application or before.

AC for Macfarlanes! (If anyone’s wondering I applied on 14/1/20)

VS or TC application? Thanks

I received a WG invite for the NRF Summer VS, and recently completed that.

Does anyone know if they're automatically sent and what the turnaround time is between the test and a telephone interview invite (assuming a passing mark of course)?

Thanks

If someone’s portal has changed couple days ago, and they haven’t received an WG invite from FF - does this mean a rejection? Can someone clarify?

For the past year, I have seen posts from you guys after receiving vac schemes and seeing your happiness was so motivating. I always wanted to know what it really felt like.

I can finally say, NOW I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After nearly 30 applications, countless rejections, 5 failed assessment centres and some disastrous video interviews, I HAVE BEEN OFFERED A PLACE WITH JONES DAY!

Thank you to everyone who gave me help and motivation!!!!!!

Thanks for letting me know. Hope your application for them and others is progressing well!

One word - “SLOW” compared to last year!

Either law firms having stringed candidates along or you had to chase them up but still no responses on their end!

no problem!! you too. after your telephone interview do let me know when you hear back from them, cuz I did mine a few days ago and haven't heard back since!

 

[JoNo]

When will Ashurst start getting back to people ?

Hi all.

Does anyone have any experience in asking firms to move them from a spring to summer scheme?

I received an offer last week and was told on the phone that they are flexible on this and that I should just drop them an email requesting the change in schemes officially, which I did the very next day.

It's been a week since I emailed and still no reply from the firm. I know grad rec are busy and I may just be very paranoid but I am lowkey worried that they may have just revoked my offer.

Should I keep chasing the firm up until I get a reply (keeping in mind this is peak recruitment season) or should I just trust that all is well and I'll get a summer offer when they've finished recruiting for summer?
