[s9111]

Does anyone know how long it generally takes to hear back from CMS after the VI?

Dear Latham

Where have you been?
'Cause I never see you out
Are your hiding from me, yeah?
Somewhere in the crowd

I wouldn’t lose hope. I got the VI a couple days ago and I’ve seen people get it since as well. I would still hold out hope as I’ve not seen any ACs go out.

Thanks and congrats on your VI! Wishing you the very best.

Just completed HL WG and tbh as always I did awful but I wanted to know what people would’ve put for this question as I was severely confused 😭 or maybe I’m stupid 🤔 (I’ve been rejected twice for HL this cycle VS and lift off)

Statement
"Professional development programmes must focus on both the organisation's goals and employees' individual career objectives."

Proposed assumption
“It is difficult for an employee to meet his or her individual career goals without the support of the organisation.”

Assumption made or Assumption not made

I put assumption made but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong 😕

I personally would have said that the assumption wasn’t made as the proposed assumption doesn’t need to be true for the statement to be true

Hey, I heard back from Travers at the start of March last year and they call you if you have an interview. So you probs won’t hear back for a while

This is very helpful to know - thanks!

Does anyone know if Freshfields gives WG scores out if you email and ask?

 

[S87]

Does anyone have any insight into V&E VI, I can help with Jones Day.

Hey which firm is this?

It was the internal TC at the firm I currently work at

Does anyone know if Freshfields gives WG scores out if you email and ask?

They don’t disclose score whilst that stage of the recruitment process is ongoing. I tried to ask yesterday. Hopefully we made it through 🤞

if Milbank and W&C can muster up the cojones to finally pull the plug i'd be very appreciative

 

[Miss Chocolate]

Anyone else still waiting to hear back from Mishcon?

 

[ccfuturetraineesolicitor]

if Milbank and W&C can muster up the cojones to finally pull the plug i'd be very appreciative

I personally wouldn't write off Milbank so soon, it seems that they were still offering ACs in Feb last application cycle
Additionally, W&C has been known to take a while to get back to applicants, so I would just try to be patient!

Is 5 days from Wednesday, Monday? I may be overthinking it but I want to make sure that it's not Sunday.
