Shoosmiths reserve list for vac scheme and TC AC last year, never had any spaces. This year flat out rejection, great! 😅

Guessing an imminent PFO from Shoosmiths then. That concludes my first cycle onto the next I guess :/

Wait so they say in the email that they will not consider you for the TC AC? 💀

told them a few days ago i couldnt attend the placement if i was successful so had to withdraw it, but they said they would review my app for a TC. today they gave me the rejection after "reviewing my application for both the placement and training contract."

oh well! i never had hope for the TC anyway so onto the next

Got a reply from Shoosmiths for the discover placement. The email said that they want me to stay engaged with Shoosmiths as they see potential in me. Does this mean I might be invited to the AC, or is this a general thing they say to all applicants?

For those who have heard back from Shoosmiths, what were your top strengths, and weakest, in the assessment?

I think it’s something they send to all but don’t be disheartened rejections lead us to the correct path !

White & Case Spring VS Offer!!!

congrats! Can I ask when you did your ac?

 

[mhs234]

Thank you! I found out less than an hour ago via email and it’s for the London office

Well done! May i ask what your strength & weakness was in the feedback report, if you dont mind?😊

 

[rashidmeher]

Has anyone still not heard back from Shoosmiths?

 

[Lastseasonwonder]

Does anyone have any advice on how to answer motivational questions, especially 'why firm x' in AC / interview setting, demonstrating strong interest and making interviewers feel that you made a deliberate decision that you want to train there and nowhere else?

WBD holding email - sorry WBD but it's not a good time right now 💀
