Oh my! I applied for the DTC not the vacation scheme, idk why I did that 😂 😂Yeah that sounds like a mistake. From the wording of that email, it sounds like you applied for a job. Have you been able to track your application?

I find the ‘why this office’ questions so annoying. I get why law firms ask. But also, my legitimate answer and 99% of my rationale is: “I live in London” lol
Then it is fine to say that - your key motivation for a location does not always need to be work related.I find the ‘why this office’ questions so annoying. I get why law firms ask. But also, my legitimate answer and 99% of my rationale is: “I live in London” lol
Anyone know which one it is???Hi guys, it's fine if I send my Paul Hastings app tomorrow by 11:59pm right? I'm worried that it means by 11:59pm today lol
Anyone know which one it is???
You’re the first I have seen to get it so congratsShoosmiths Placement (VS), in Leeds! Anyone else?
Did anyone on your AC apply for Summer?I think it’s been a mix so far tbh, although most people that I have spoken to on the forum who received interview invites applied for either Spring or both. I have heard from a few people that applied for Summer.🙂
Sorry to hear that. Focus on your uni work, good grades can open doors now and in the future. No one will know about the rejections in VS / TC apps.I don't know if this is completely relevant but has anyone else struggled maintaining motivation with their degree (law degree for me) alongside these applications. It's my first cycle and all the time I spent to not get a vac scheme and then be behind on uni work for nothing has been so demoralising.
Sorry for the ramble I'm just struggling a lot to get back into uni work, even though I am behind and I need to catch up before exam season gets underway in the next few weeks, and was wondering if anyone has this too or any tips or smth to get the motivation back after all the rejections?

The test is not used to help influence post AC decisions. It is merely to produce questions that will be asked in the interviewFor those who have completed the Ropes & Gray psychometric test, what scores did you guys receive? I don't think mine went well and now extremely nervous for the AC. Any advice on how to go about the AC?
That's interesting! May I ask how did you get that info?The test is not used to help influence post AC decisions. It is merely to produce questions that will be asked in the interview
At a Ropes event that I attended. It’s probs somewhere on website or somin too idk. But it defo is trueThat's interesting! May I ask how did you get that info?
I’d go the opportunity with your preferred firm. There may be opportunities to move internally after sometimes whether that is to another paralegal role or a TC. If it wasn’t your preferred firm for a TC, then I would say to go for the other opportunity.Hi @Jaysen and @Jessica Booker i hope you’re well! I have two paralegal offers and unsure which to go with. One is with motor injury at an international law firm of higher ranking, the other is with property recoveries at a more mid size/ international firm.
I am an aspiring commercial lawyer and recognise that property recoveries may lend more to the role, however the other firm is my preferred firm for a TC despite the practice area not being of great interest to me.
Any advice would be so helpful!
