I must be the only one who didn't get collaboration as a top skill, hope I'm not cooked lol

Has anyone heard back from AG yet please? i completed the video interview awhile ago in December, i have applied for Manchester though so assume that might make a difference

 

[AlarmedBookkeeper448]

hey so does Hogan Lovells open TC applications again in this summer before the next application cycle opens up or do they not? Can anyone with knowledge please confirm this? I cannot seem to find any information on their website.

Someone on the vacation scheme forum said that they do open in the summer but their cycle runs from September to August, so if you’ve already applied I don’t think you’d be able to apply for the summer one. I will try to look for the message

@jessicabooker for Withers' application, can I included informal shadowing and open days as part of work experience? Some firms expect this others do not. My application is basically ready to go I just need to make sure I can include those experiences if not I need to delete them.

The informal work shadowing definitely can be.

If there isn’t a dedicated section for careers events, then I would consider grouping your open days together in one entry.
