Hi all! I'm also back for cycle no 368,890,761. I took the spring and summer off to focus on my new job and on developing new skills. After a failed TC interview and a failed VS, I really hope this is my year. Good luck everyone 🤞I am back for cycle 7 - here we go again! I was unsuccessful post-VS in the summer but most of the feedback was really positive so hoping I am closer to the finish line this year 🍀 I refuse to let my confidence hold me back again!
It makes the process feel far less lonely knowing there are others in the same boat. My DMs are open if you ever want to chat and good luck!Hi all! I'm also back for cycle no 368,890,761.

They request them before you even have the video interviewDoes anyone know if references need to be submitted within 10 days from the day of invitation for a video interview or upon receiving a VS offer (Jones Day Winter VS)?
I am absolutely looking forward to hearing about your success!!!I am back for cycle 7 - here we go again! I was unsuccessful post-VS in the summer but most of the feedback was really positive so hoping I am closer to the finish line this year 🍀 I refuse to let my confidence hold me back again!
Reverse chronological by end date, which would be:sorry if this sounds silly but how do i list things chronologically.
of course i know that means most recent first, but what about ongoing things. e.g
Job 1 (proper job) May 2022- Present
Job 2 (variable hour job) Sep 2023 - Sep 2024
Campus Ambassador, Sept 2024 - Present
Open days/insight events - August 2024
Open days/insight events - September 2024
Volunteering Feb 2024 - Sep 2024
what order would those go in, recent to oldest. Job 1 is the oldest but is still going on, whereas Job 2, my volunteering and open days/insight days are newer, but have finished.
Many thanks.Hey @Lastseasonwonder. I have spoken with a Latham Campus Ambassador for this year and just found out that applications for their schemes are non-rolling, and will be viewed after the deadline of December 8th.
Was it the games tests?Just took the Ashurts psychometric tests and omg I’ve never experienced anything like it. If anyone else has taken it and wants to discuss pls pm me!!
Hey there @SSR27 ! Congratulations on the Open Day! I want to second @Jessica Booker's advice to travel down a day or two early if possible, but also wanted to flag that if you email the firm and explain your situation, they are often very understanding from my experience, and may be able to help you out with costs. Similarly, i'm not sure if you're a current student or not, but if so speak to your university, they often have hardship funds for this exact sort of thing.omg mine did go in the junk never mind I got it but I dont think I can go because its going to be super expensive from manchester? Is anyone else from manchester?
Thank you so much! Luckily for me My SFE drops a few days before so I can book my tickets a few days before and be able to cover the difference. Fingers crossed HSF does cover the difference if not then I will make sure to take many pictures of London to make it worth the extra £70.Hey there @SSR27 ! Congratulations on the Open Day!

Please don’t feel you can’t at least ask the firm as to whether they can cover the additional costs. If you flag this earlier, it’s more likely they will be able to cover the additional costs.Thank you so much!

Back for cycle seven - 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024 (2021 doesn't really count since I did a Masters). Let's go!Hi all! I'm also back for cycle no 368,890,761.

This is fine to include - have seen people mention poker in applications before and I think the fact you have set up the society is the key selling point you have to highlight. You can also mention the larger tournaments you have won too.Hi everyone. Random question but hoping that someone with experience with law firm recruiters can help me out here. (@Jessica Booker ?) I am answering a question that asks about my hobbies and interests. I have put football and travel, but want to stand out a bit more and so am thinking of writing about my love of poker. It uses a lot of skills that employers may like (creative thinking, calm under pressure etc). I am just wondering if this is a good idea at all (I do not want to seem irresponsible with money even though I haven't been haha) and if I can mention it, how deep I should go? I would mention that I co-founded the poker society at my university, but do I mention the large online tournaments I have won and the study groups I have joined and networking I have done through the game? I am worried it is too risky. Thanks in advance
