Any more PFOs or any VI invites from AG?
I have. I have just left my paralegal position at Shoosmiths.Anyone here interviewed for a paralegal role at Shoosmiths before?
Thanks, messagedI have. I have just left my paralegal position at Shoosmiths.
Are you an SQE or LPC Trainee?If I have a TC at a small regional firm and just started my training, but I feel that I want to do a different type of work. is it ok to still apply for vac schemes and TCs at large international firms? Will my application be turned down because I am already a trainee? @Jessica Booker
Is the winter training scheme at Freshfields for graduates?Maybe someone else will have a better idea about this but I'm a graduate and I applied for their Jan deadline (PFO after tests) because I assumed I didn't qualify for the summer deadline. Not sure about HL but I know for Freshfields also have 2 TC deadlines and the summer one is for current students - I asked around in July last year and found out I was ineligible. Might be worth emailing HL GR and asking.
Samew&c pfo post app, submitted on the deadline
I also applied as a graduate for the summer TC and don't recall seeing any information about that on HL's website.Thank you!
Honestly after cycles I have given up trying to understand their recruitment processes (when do they send rejection emails/next stage emails, etc). Will probably say if you really want this, keep your hopes high. If you think you probably won't progress to the next stage, maybe just shift your focus on preparing for the next cycle.W&C deadline was 14.07.2024. I submitted my application on 04.06.2024. Even if they were assessing applications in batches, and the people who’ve submitted on the day of the deadline have gotten PFOs, why haven’t I?
I’m aware that they got done with ACs long back so it’s not like they’ll progress my application any further :/
It’s just… the wait is terrible. I just want closure.
It stands for "please f*** off" - it means a rejection from the firmBit new here, what does PFO stand for?
Might be different this year but last year I didn’t hear till 31/10 (I applied close to the deadline and did the WG early August)Any idea when HL will get round to sending out PFOs? I’d like to get it over with asap
