@Jessica Booker Is it fine to email Vero with the contact details of people you worked with, so that they don't have to randomly track people down?
No - I wouldn’t do this until they ask for it.

They aren’t going to randomly track down people - they are going to go through points of contact they already have or speak to HR. They do thousands of these checks each day (maybe even tens of thousands) so they have a process that works for them.

Hey y'all 🥳🤩🤯🙋‍♀️🙀

Not sure how many know about this, but Aspiring Solicitors has opened applications for a training contract opportunity with Harbottle & Lewis. Highly recommend (Also, I am just having fun posting!!!)

thank you! now what if they're not picking up either? 😭 (sorry about this)
Which numbers have you tried? As lots of grad rec put their personal numbers on interview invite emails for emergencies (like this one), and you might be more likely to get an answer if you try one of those.


Any chance there is an interview link in a portal somewhere, or there isn’t a link at all and it might be a telephone interview?

I was thinking the same thing because some of these experiences happened years ago and I was only with the firm for a few days to a week (for work experience etc) - surely it's better to provide a reference? Maybe you can enter one in the additional information section on the Vero form?
You can but they will still need to check with the firm directly. It helps stop fraudulent references (which you’d be surprised happens enough for them to have established processes like this).
