Anyone here applied for Mayer Brown (summer) that hasn’t been PFO’d nor invited to job simulation? i.e., still waiting post test?
Just wondering if people who received the job simulation a few weeks ago were only spring or summer as well!

Hey, I recently applied to Browne Jacobson and was under the impression that applications are non-rolling. The email I received after submitting also said "Please note however, that all applications for a Training Contract and Summer Vacation Scheme will be reviewed after the relevant closing date when we will contact you again."
I think the first part of their mail does not apply to Vac Scheme/ TC applicants, but I may be wrong!
Shoosmiths posted on their Instagram yesterday that they are still screening vac scheme applicants (post online assessment), and will let us know near the end of the month.
What's up with the radio silence from Withers (SVS)?
Done the test like a month or over ago.
Withers SVS:
Rejected post-test - red cross mark
Radio silence post-test - wow emoji
Interview (and rejected) - handshake
Interview (and VS offer) - green tick

Yeah, it is non-rolling. I think what they mean by the 'next few weeks' part of the email is that they won't be contacting us if we've been rejected - that's why I was asking how much time is 'next few weeks'
I applied for Manchester, hbu?Hey, which office did you apply to? I'm waiting on Shoosmiths too
Has anyone ever interviewed for a paralegal role with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett?
PLEASE PM ME - I have it at the end of this week!
@Jessica Booker - would you have any advice on prep / what to expect? Never interviewed for such a role.

Not sure if anyone’s replied to this but yes, conversation course first then SQE exams after
If anyone was put on Osborne Clarke’s VS reserve list (any office) I’d be grateful if you could DM me
Has anyone else just not heard from W&C post-app? I’ve seen lots of VIs, and some rejections post-app. I know that they’re generally quite slow; does this mean that they genuinely consider everyone’s application?
Hey! If it makes you feel any better, I haven't heard at all post-app either. I was told by email (6th of March) that they are still reviewing applications and do not have a specific timeline with regards to reviewing applications, so I am hopeful that they're still sifting through applications.
Thank you - I thought as much but just wanted to double check in case I had missed something with the SQE!
I applied on October 16th (first preference was Winter) and still haven't heard back!
@Jessica Booker hey, If a firm rejects for a VS but you got to the AC and in their rejection they say if you applied for a TC, this will be considered separately, how likely do you think it is that you’ll hear any more from them? Obviously I don’t expect you to know but I would just presume I won’t be hearing from them again if they’ve already rejected me, do you think this is just them being polite?

I would look at the job description carefully as the questions are more likely to be aligned to what they are specifically looking for in that individual role.
I would also ensure you are clued up about the department the specific role is in and have the ability to explain why that type of work is of interest compared to other potential paralegal roles that could come up within the same firm.
