Has anyone been invited to AC for HSF spring VS? (I haven’t, I’m just wondering)

 

[axelbeugre]

Thanks! And one more additional question: because on the Hogan Lovells's application form, there isn't any space to include the extra-activities, so should I include it in this area or I should include my volunteer experience in the work experience part?

You can talk about one extra-curricular activity and one volunteer experience and balance your answer. Alternatively, if you do not have enough work experience in your opinion, I probably would include the volunteering experience in the work experience section, I think it is up to you and what you feel you want graduate recruitment to know about you!

I think they sent out a few rejections this morning, (asked on the other thread), but not sure if they do them in bulk or as and when they screen applications. No news is good news !

They’re non-rolling and I only did my test Sunday, so imagine a few will have done the same. I’d expect to hear next week hopefully

Quick question: Were the HL Lift Off WG invites automatic?

Honestly I’m not too sure. I want to say yes, and that they’ll review our applications against the WG results. Submitted my app on 22/10 and got my test link on 24/10!

Does anyone know what kind of questions Irwin Mitchell has in their VI? someone said they found them to be super weird which has ramped up my anxiety!

 

[anasat]

does anyone know if pinsent masons offers visa sponsorship? can't find it on the website!

 

[LawEnthus]

"With reference to a particular area of law, what do you find to be the most interesting about it? (200 words max) " is there any recommended structure for this kind of question? advice appreciated! @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre and anyone who has any insight from tackling this kind of q? thank you!

Anyone received WG score from Linklaters.

 

[slowlyfadingaway]

Anyone else who applied to CMS on the deadline day yet to receive the wg invite?

I tried to apply and when I selected "would require a visa sponsorship etc." in their application, it told me I couldn't continue. I therefore don't think they offer visa sponsorships!

If this is for TC, they do. Two grad rec told me that they do offer visa sponsorship but it is not automatic. They will review it on a case by case basis.

I am in serious need of application feedback, not so much in terms of actual writing but whether I have the right profile/ grades for big law. Would it be appropriate to reach out to graduate recruitment in one of the firms am I interested in applying? If not, anyone have any recs? Thanks!

Is it automatic?

Anyone received WG score from Linklaters.
