Huge congratulations!! 🥳
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and when was your AC?
After the AC, how long after did they confirm you were being offered the SVS?
Best of luck on the SVS!! Next stop HL TC offer!! 🫡

I normally look out for anything they say on the actual page of the application section, law firms might be really clear they want to know about your skills as well as duties and others just duties.Heymaybe a little late to be asking this question lol but when you guys fill out the work experience section, do you simply list the tasks or do you write what skills you demonstrated / learned from doing that task? I’m asking because I had my CV checked years ago by a Magic Circle lawyer who said to remove any explanation of skills learned etc and to be super succinct in writing down bullet point tasks under WE section. I’ve just watched a grad recruitment video basically saying the opposite so would be intrigued to know what other people do?
Thank you!
So I applied quite early on as I submitted both my VS and my Liftoff application at the same time. I believe it was in October. As for the AC, I did it yesterday and the grad rec initially told me I would hear back in 2 weeks but the partner called me today!
But as I have previously commented on this forum, when I got the AC offer there were only two options and the Grad Rec confirmed they had only arranged two ACs so far yesterday meaning only 12 ppl had gotten invited. She said there would be a lot more in the coming weeks so don't worry! If anyone gets invited to an AC, feel free to dm me for some insight.
Edit: I got rejected from liftoff but still made it onto the VS so don't worry if you're in the same boat!
Wow congrats!!! No news yet for me… 😅
Thank you for this I really appreciate it. 🫡
The partner must have been impressed to have called the next day!! 😎
I’m surprised there has only been two AC’s so far given the deadline passed two weeks ago. 😭
There’s definitely hope left for those of us that applied closer to the deadline! 💀
I didn’t apply to Skadden but I remember at one of their events the grad rec manager said they have a limit on the number of people who make it to each stage:
250 written exercise, 120 partner interview and 70 for vacation scheme (15-20 per VS).
I imagine they would wait until everyone had done their interview before making all of their VS offers, especially as they have 4 VS’s (two in spring and two in summer).
Best of luck for the interview!!
Huge congratulations!!!
I also got rejected from lift Off and I’m still waiting to know if I made it to the AC. I did complete their first year scheme so I hope it’s not doom and gloom lol
Hey! Is anyone else attending the Jones Day Spring VS? I’m already nervous haha
@Andrei Radu Hi Andrei! I haven’t heard back from DPW at all. I reached out to the GR about the status of my application but they said they’re still considering applications - which I’m not sure about since I’ve heard they tend to hold their interviews over a smaller time period (one week) and the first round began this Monday.
Do you reckon I should just assume a PFO for my own mental peace?

Yeah I had mine on Tuesday - when’s yours? I assume they have a few ACs and do it in batches! Is yours for spring too?
I have the White & case VI coming up — I know lots of people did it already, and would appreciate any tips! Would the questions be more standard competency questions or should i prepare myself?
