has anyone had an ashurst wvs rejection?

 

[AlegalA]

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!

Is there a Mischon De Reya Workshop event today? Thank you.

Not sure about workshop per se, but their first in-person Open Day is tomorrow.

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

I would love that! 😁

any recent W&C VIs?

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?

has anyone had an ashurst wvs 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.

[fingersarecrossed]

Has anyone heard from Sidley Austin's (SUMMER VACATION SCHEME)?

 

[shana]

I need advice, please.

I've just received a Linklaters AC invite for the winter vac scheme. The problem is that around 10 pm last night, I had to go to the hospital for a severe dog bite injury on my right hand. It's expected to heal around the day of the AC, but this has drastically affected my ability to prepare, as I'm right-handed.

Do I ask for additional time and adjustments? Should I request HR to postpone my interview and assessment day? I'm not sure if that's even possible, given the typically shorter time frame to get everything sorted for the winter vac scheme. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@F a v o u r Hope you're okay! Congrats on the AC invite.

Jessica has already responded, but could I just ask you when you completed all your online assessments? I'm just so anxious to hear from Linklaters and want to see when I could expect a reply.

Weil Open Day!

 

[nodustollens]

Hi guys, do any of you have any insights on how detrimental being cut off during a VI is?
