Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
This just isn’t true.Be thankful she doesn't have to deal with them any more?
If a candidate did this, without having a heart attack or getting run over by a bus, they'd be blacklisted for life.
I would encourage your friend to contact them again and see if they can do the feedback at some time over the next couple of weeks and get your friend to explain their availability for that period.Hi @Jessica Booker , my friend did a vac scheme with a firm in July but couldn't convert it into a TC. On the day of the feedback call, the firm cancelled the call 10 minutes before it was supposed to happen and asked her to email them to reschedule. She didn't receive any reply after that. She's emailed HR, the supervisor etc but hasn't heard at all. What can she do in this situation?
I wouldn’t - I would always go with formal versions of words.Hi quick Q. Im struggling to stay in the word count - can I connect words like do not -> don't; I am -> I'm etc? or would that be considered bad?
Fanks alot
There is no need to explicitly connect this to the firm. Do think about what the firm may value though and therefore what types of qualities you may want to focus your answer on.Hello everyone,
For those of you who have experience applying to the vacation scheme at Simmons & Simmons, there is only one essay question given:
'Please provide details of your interests, activities, positions of responsibility, skills, and achievements. Also, include any other information relevant to your application. (Max 250 words)'
I understand that this is a more 'personal' question, but should I focus mainly on my interests and extracurricular activities, or should I try to connect my answer to the firm in some way?
Happy for any tips!
Was this firm White & Case by any chance? Me and a bunch of other people irl and on here made it to the final assessment round for their SVS and were rejected post final assessment and we were told to schedule feedback calls with the recruitment team but they never responded to ANY of our messages and we did everything from calling to emailing and we got no response despite them promising they would give us feedback.Hi @Jessica Booker , my friend did a vac scheme with a firm in July but couldn't convert it into a TC.

I did it on my phone and found it okCan the Ashurst test be done on a phone or tablet? I heard it's the balloon popping test and my laptop is slow so I would do better on my phone. Plus a smaller screen will make it easier.
Just a question: did it let you amend punctation? I tried but it didn't work and then my screen displayed 'tasks done' - im confused cus it said you need to see 14 mistakes in the passageI did it on my phone and found it ok
Nope not W&C, this was TLT. I'm sorry to hear that other firms have been doing thisWas this firm White & Case by any chance?

I got this as well, this is a new method for them as they have scrapped the VI.Latham & Watkins Open Day SJT invite! 💯
No biggie, I'm over it now but same it's sad to hear that other firms are treating applicants like thisNope not W&C, this was TLT. I'm sorry to hear that other firms have been doing this
