Does anyone else have DWF’s AC coming up?

@Jessica Booker @axelbeugre I just got invited to an assessment centre for a spring vac scheme but i'm already going to one on the same dates - do you think i should email to ask to be considered for summer instead? and would you advise telling them that i've got another vac scheme on those dates, or just saying that i've got another commitment? thanks for your help

They are likely to ask what the commitment is anyway and will expect it to be another scheme (as this is the most common reason), so I wouldn’t worry about disclosing it.

If you wouldn’t accept this VS over the one you already have, then I would ask them whether you can be considered for the summer scheme before the assessment centre.

How do you know if you’ve been placed on a reserve list also what is that if you’ve been unsuccessful from the placement ?

They’ll tell you in the email whether you’re on the reserve list or not

Yes, they told me in the email
If someone declines their placement, I’ll be invited

Irwin Mitchell - placement London. Is it just me, but still haven’t heard back after my (bombed out) VI. Is anyone else waiting to hear? Do I assume too bad to even respond?

3 cycles later and a Burges Salmon Vacation scheme offer!

Congratulations! How was your AC? Are there any specific things you did that you think ticked their boxes? I did an AC and didn’t get it even though I thought I did well

Hi,

I had an interview with Withers exactly 2 weeks ago today for the spring vac scheme. At the end of the interview, they said they aim to respond to all applicants within 2 weeks. As I haven't heard back yet, should I assume it's a rejection?

 

[ohnoselim]

yep...

hopefully monday you'll hear some good news!!
