The purpose of these dinners isn't necessarily to 'report back to graduate recruitment,' since they often attend the dinners themselves. For example, when I went to a careers dinner with W&C, there were representatives from grad recruitment present. However, I think these dinners are mainly a great opportunity for YOU to learn more about the firm, ask questions to trainees and associates, and get a better sense of the firm’s culture. It’s more casual and relaxed, so it’s not as stressful as some of the other ways to get to know a law firm — at least, that’s how I saw it! Also, I don't think attending really puts you at any competitive advantage over other candidates - W&C still rejected me after I was invited to attend their Open Day and Careers Dinner, lol. Hope that makes sense!

I love the honesty and transparency. I’m rooting for you my friend
I have a question- CMS have an insight day for "Non-law undergraduates and graduates studying in England, Wales or NI". I am a non-law graduate, however I have also completed the PGDL. Does this disqualify me from the insight day or could I still apply? (or should I be emailing early careers for clarification). Thanks!
Not sure about workshop per se, but their first in-person Open Day is tomorrow.
I would love that! 😁I’ve got one too. I wonder if it’s to do with location? I’m in the midlands so I imagine they want to make it easier for ppl close to the office (London) then again, it quicker for me to come in than someone else who lives in SE/SW London. But I digress.
Congrats tho! I’m making a list of questions so if you want to discuss making some it would be great
Is anyone else still waiting on a reply from Sidley Austin about their WVS? Submitted in September and heard nothing since - at what point is it a rejection?
It's honestly annoying how they've already rejected people but haven't informed them. I don't like that firms/companies do this, just send me your silly generic rejection email, it's not like they personalise each email anyway.
ive spoken to grad rec and they mentioned we will still be receiving interview invites over the course of this week and the next
They’re gonna have to blow off the dust from my application for consideration, since I applied early August 😂
