If I’m still waiting to hear back from firms post app, is it likely a load of PFO’s coming my way?

 

[Praying4TC2022]

Yes - I received a VI invite this morning.

For all those interested in updates on the Kennedys 2023 Training Contract Application process - please follow the specifically purposed thread I have created. https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/kennedys-training-contract-2023.4830/

Whilst looking for an update from Pinsent I realised I have in fact applied for 2024 training contract and not the vacation scheme - how is my question? What brain fart was in control that day/week? 🥴😐

For the people with Kennedys VIs, are these for their training contracts or SQE positions?

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Yes, for Manchester! I think they could be inviting in batches, so hopefully should hear soon. I did the SJT on the 22nd Jan and received my report on the 24th. This is for TC 2023.

Yes I think you are right and I did do the test rally late and am waiting for London so will wait a few days I guess.

Ashurst PFO post-AC. Tbh this was a little surprising because I thought my AC went fine. But wow, application cycles are really gruelling!! It's a constant rollercoaster of emotions lol. And a struggle to pick yourself up from rejections and continue working on yet another app.

Anyway, I still have some firms I'm hoping for responses from, continuing to manifest🤞

For those who did WG for Baker McKenzie did you ever experience this.

I completed the WG for the summer VS and emailed graduate recruitment about my score and they said that they did not receive my test score as the third party that they do WG with that company did not send over my score and my test did not get submitted.

Does this mean I have to do the WG again or they might reject me because of this. Anyone had any experience with this before.

I just finished my CC AC today. I think I’m one of the last batch and I guess we will be hearing back very soon.

If their deadlines were ~mid-Jan or later, it's anyone's game still.

Not holding out much hope for firms with late Dec/early Jan closes at this point

Yes it happened with me and lots of other peeps during spring app. Don't worry just tell them that you've taken it during the time window specified. They'll check that with the provider and itll be sorted out.

Hi all, does anyone know if Bird&Bird AC include a group exercise? I have seen in previous year there is one, but seems from their communication this year that there isn't this as prat of the day

Thank you very much for this and did say to them in the email that I replied back to.

yh offer

Do you mind sharing when did you hear back from them post AC ?

 

[Ambs123]

I feel like I pronounced the firms name wrong in the VI I did - will this be really problematic ? It was MDR btw - used to pronounce it properly until I heard someone else pronounce it differently!! Feel really dumb

Hey, I saw this post on LinkedIn yesterday - it suggests that their process is undergoing some changes, which may explain why their comms don't indicate a group exercise this year!
