Is this for the TC??

i don’t think it can be. I spoke to grad recruitment and they said they’ll only look at direct tc apps after deadline

Has anyone heard from K&L Gates post-interview?

Clyde & Co PFO- that was the last of my vac scheme applications. On to direct TC apps now I guess😅

Just had a phone chat with @Jessica Booker while I had Taco Bell. It was glorious. The benefits of being a gold member y’all! So worth it!

Hi, how do you move on from a PFO? Had my first one yesterday but I have an interview tomorrow so I could really use some tips on how to dust myself off and carry on. Thanks in advance!

fact is that 99% of the people get PFOs (1% being those who apply to like 1 scheme and get an offer), even the BEST applicants - sometimes it's just that the firm doesn't think you'll fit to each other instead of seeing you as not good enough. The fact that you have an incoming interview is the best evidence that you're perfectly qualified and capable of making a good solicitor (not everyone gets interviews!). Now focus on the interview and seize it because you deserve that one and more opportunities.

The first AC? If so yes, heard back on Friday. I think there are some others still waiting though as a few people have asked.

did Pinsent email?

 

[Laurenbt2110]

For people who asked for an early response from Slaughters, how long did they take to get back to you?

 

[xtinew]

did Pinsent email?

Well in response to my spamming yes (not proud of it 😂). Not sure this only applies to my cohort of ACs from early Feb or if it's region-specific or anything (applied to Edinburgh)
