thanks a lot. are they rolling?Going off of my experience last year it’s an application form followed by a voice interview followed by an assessment centre comprised of a written exercise, case study and partner interview!

As far as I remember, for the vac scheme I think they’re non-rolling but for the direct TC they’re rolling.thanks a lot. are they rolling?
Congrats! Best of luck. I'm still waiting to hear back :/ how did they let you know? And was it on a Saturday?Super excited to have just been invited to interview for Travers winter vac scheme! If anyone has done it, I would be so grateful to hear your tips/any advice, the grad recruiter I spoke to on the phone didn't give away many details and I haven't received any emails yet with more info...!
I don't think an elbow to elbow would be appropriate in a formal environment.Random question, but in interviews that aren’t virtual, is going in for a handshake the done thing still? Is it an elbow to elbow greeting these days? Should I wait just to see what interview goes for? Not sure what’s normal anymore....
Clyde AC!!
If you don't mind me asking, did you both apply for the winter VS or summer?Clyde AC! Does anyone have any tips?

I had an in person interview a few days ago and it ended with a handshake. Felt very odd after a year+ of avoiding social contact! I took the approach of what the interviewer was comfortable with so waited for them to initiate it.Random question, but in interviews that aren’t virtual, is going in for a handshake the done thing still?

It is quite common for people to have 1 day off RoF the scheme is three weeks or more. I personally wouldn’t advise it for a scheme of only 1-2 weeks though.Unsure whether to apply to summer vac schemes if the dates listed clashes with my graduation ceremony. Would it be appropriate to ask for a day off during a vac scheme for graduation?
Hey! So if I remember correctly it’s 90 seconds per answer!Hi all, for Latham & Watkins' video interview, how long do candidates have to answer each question, and how much 'thinking time' do we have before answering? @Dheepa - do you remember how long was yours? thanks!
thanks Dheepa!Hey! So if I remember correctly it’s 90 seconds per answer!
Hi @George MaxwellHello @Veep9,
I know that this has been touched on by another user- but do not panic. Graduate Recruitment get this a lot from what I have heard, and they were always lovely when I contacted them about it. HSF's GR team (from experience) are really great people (and are very friendly) so do not panic! I would personally just wait to hear back from them via email.
Let us know how it goes!
Hi @Scandi,
Firstly, I want to say a huge congratulations 🙌 . If there are any questions that come up for you between now and your VS, please do ask. We are here to support you.
Secondly, your question about deferral is very normal. I know @Jessica Booker touched on this already for you, but it is entirely fair enough for you to ask. Graduate Recruitment will have been asked before (and they will understand that some candidates have other scheme offers!).
@RS31,
Again, I know that @Jessica Booker touched on this, but I wanted to say that I empathise! I had this issue with a VI (and got through). It will not mean that you are automatically rejected speaking from experience .
Hi @Ziaskia,
As with my congratulations for @Scandi above, I really want to emphasise that this is a huge achievement. Take stock of the fact that you have made it this far and that the firm sees something in you (on paper at least!).
I am going to tag @James Carrabino and @AvniD, as I do not have experience of the Links AC personally (and they might). Alternatively, we can definitely try to advise you on ACs in general. What have you been told to expect so far?
Looking forward to hearing your reply soon!
Non-rolling I believe. When I submitted, the email said that the deadline for applications is 3rd December, and we will hear if we have progressed to the test stage “before Christmas”Does anybody know whether Gowling's spring VC is rolling or non-rolling?
Congrats! Best of luck. I'm still waiting to hear back :/ how did they let you know? And was it on a Saturday?
Many Congratulations and all the best! May I ask you when did you apply? I am still waiting to hear back.Super excited to have just been invited to interview for Travers winter vac scheme! If anyone has done it, I would be so grateful to hear your tips/any advice, the grad recruiter I spoke to on the phone didn't give away many details and I haven't received any emails yet with more info...!
