I mean Training contract :s lol

Hey, if you do then make sure to adjust your application! Maybe ask someone (TCLA, a future trainee/past vac schemer) to read it over to see where you could improve - best of luck

Anyone got advice for the video interview?

Practice your answers in 1m30s - that will prepare you.

Research the firm's unique points e.g. international strategy, top practice areas, overseas seat etc.

Treat it as you're speaking to a person - pace your speaking and maintain eye contact with camera.

It only took me about 8-10 minutes so it'll be over before you know it - best of luck

Hi everyone! I did the W&C's video-interview on 13/02 and I still have not heard anything about the outcome, should I expect a rejection? Thank you in advance for your replies. (I applied for the Vac. Scheme, first choice spring and second one Summer)

Hey! My turn around after the VI was really quick. I was offered an AC the same day I submitted my VI. My first choice was Summer though, and I didn't indicate have a second choice on my application. However, I have a hunch - perhaps they're waiting to see if they can fit you in for the Summer scheme? I know that they've already given out a number of spots for the Spring scheme and they're currently conducting the summer ACs now (just had mine last Friday) so you should hear back from them soon if they want to invite you to an AC! It's not a rejection until the firm says that it is!

Does anyone have a rough idea of how fast W&C informs you of a VS offer/post-AC rejection? I did my AC last Friday (05/03) and the wait is killing me 🤣 Thanks!

hey, I did my AC on Wednesday and still not heard!

hey, I did my AC on Wednesday and still not heard!

Hey, thanks for letting me know! Really hope that we'll both hear back with positive news soon 😊 I suppose they must be really busy sorting out the offers/rejections, given the number of ACs they've been offering the past few days! Hope that your AC went well!

Hey, I also did my AC on Wednesday and still waiting :/ Fingers crossed for us all!

I just heard back today that I've been accepted on the summer vac scheme! I waited 2.5 weeks before I heard back after my AC so if you've been waiting for a while don't lose hope

I did my assessment centre on 5th March and received an offer for the Summer VS on 16th March, so they might still be making decisions for those who did the assessment centres after 5th March, like you! I hope that you will be able to hear back really soon and I'm wishing you the best of luck 😊

Congratulations to those who have heard back! 💗 I did my VI on the 11th and haven’t heard back regarding an AC or a rejection. Should I assume it’s the latter since some people have done and passed their ACs?

I think it's hard to tell. I saw that they were giving out VI invites even earlier this week, so they are definitely still running ACs..
