Has anyone heard back from DAC Beachcroft post VI or know when we’re likely to hear back?
I'm expecting/ hoping they will tell us by the end of this week. I don't think any interviews were scheduled for this week.I wonder if it’s worthwhile contacting V&E if it gets to the end of the week?
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst- you gave it a good shot and as cliché as it sounds, that's really all that matters at the end of the day. Rooting for you 🤞don’t think anyone’s heard back yet. but also completely expecting a rejection. i made like 3 inappropriate jokes, cut off a partner mid sentence, and basically couldnt remember anything i’d prepared due to sheer nervousness. lmao im toast
Do they recruit through direct TCs? If yes, you could ask to be shifted on to it. If that's not possible, I'd be prepared to either give up the VS or speak to your employer about taking unpaid leave to do the VS (if there is not conflict of interest, that is).Anyone have any experience with being offered a VS but being unable to do it due to working a full time job? Do the firm still let you have your training contract interview or are you cut completely?
Varies from firm to firm but some firms have policies around filling places internally before they open to external candidates. If they fill all places internally, they'll not consider external applications. Or some will not consider direct TC apps if all positions have been filled with VS candidates.is it true some law firms do not read some applications if they have already filled a quota?
You guys are starting to make me wish I’d cracked a few jokes for good measure..haha very much relate. Made a joke to Andrew Nealon about how i was surprised that he is a training principal as i thought training principals had a declining practice and struggled to find clients.

Well, I few months ago I had an interview (always looking for opportunities and practice makes you better at interviews)..I did a a joke which was funny in my head (I am a terrible person)..whooo it did not land! I am still laughing tho!it’s probably best you didn’t. @Homer ‘s joke was actually funny and may have even landed.
in my case, none of them landed (SO WERE THEY EVEN JOKES?) and, combined with my lackluster interview performance, they likely came off as entirely misplaced.
VS, applied just before the deadline and did their tests but aint a match apparentlySorry to hear it. Is this for VS or TC? If it’s for TC, when did you apply?
It’s not unknown, but I would say it is rare. They typically will just close applications earlier if needed.is it true some law firms do not read some applications if they have already filled a quota?
Had Grace, Andrew and Peita. I thought all of them were genuinely interested in hearing what I had to say (even if the answer wasn’t what they were looking for) and the office was outrageous hahahahawho was the third interviewer for you guys btw @Adrian_S @Cantab_95
