I have submitted a vacation scheme application for HCR and it was only uploading a CV. has anyone got experience of their recruitment process? And what the next steps may be
Last year I think they reviewed cv and cover letter and then you got told if you made it onto the scheme or not, there wasn’t anything else but you really need to stand out from the crowd! - however there vac scheme last year was virtual so I don’t know if the firm will do it in person this time round

    Wow - that was quick! I am assuming this relates to your post about being asked to be considered for a direct TC process from last week?

    Ultimately that is amazing news and a massive congratulations to you!

    Yes it was! I just asked. They didn’t even ask me where the other offer was from or interview me or anything. They met up internally and issued me the formal offer within a week!

    I just did something really stupid. I overslept the post-AC-rejection feedback call for a law firm I really like. Owned up to it and apologised, but I’m just scared they will make a note of this now. But overall mainly disappointed in myself and embarrassed I wasted their time :(

    Calls get missed all the time. I wouldn’t worry about this. Things like this don’t get recorded. Even if they did you could check their data retention policy as to how long such data would be stored for - for many firms that is only 12 months anyway.

    But I really don’t see it being recorded though. There is no point in recording such detail (would be extensive if they did!!).
