Shoosmiths PFO for VS London.

The email came with "We want you to know that, although your application didn't meet the requirements to progress to the next stage this time, we would really like you to stay engaged with Shoosmiths, as we can see real potential in your application".

Has anyone else received this?

I received that last year

Clyde co already have their vac scheme offers out too so it makes sense why blm took so long to respond to people

Is the end date of your degree on applications forms the day you graduate or the day of your final exam?

Is Shoosmiths rolling for TCs?

for me it was graduation date

I got an invite to do a behavioural test for Latham & Watkins one day after sending in my application. Does every applicant get this invitation or is it because I got to the next stage?

It doesn’t really matter which one you go for in all honesty.

Asian Legal Business is a good one: http://www.legalbusinessonline.com/

You could also search for "Asia" under websites like Legal Business (https://www.legalbusiness.co.uk/primary_tag/asia/) and IFLR (https://www.iflr.com/)

Hey, I graduated in 2021 and this vacation scheme cycle really hasn't gone well for me as it is looking like I will come out with no offers. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on to do next, I have found the past month to be a massive struggle mentally and have been trying to apply for paralegal roles and not having much success now too. Is it useful to get more legal experience now? In applying for the next cycle, am I too old now that I would be over a year after I've graduated? I didn't know if this is the right place to ask this but have been stressing for a while and don't really know who else to ask. I am feeling pretty stuck at the moment (this was my first cycle too)

Mischon de Reya VI!

CONGRATS! May I ask how the questions where/how many

 

[opuinwn08777]

I applied for Mishcon quite close to the deadline in January, got the holding email (saying they'd let us know either way by the 11th of March), then last Monday (7th) got an invitation to a video interview. I was absolutely convinced it was going to be a PFO at that point so don't worry if they're taking their time! Submitted the VI at the weekend and now we go back to waiting again

congrats!! How were the questions/the amount and could you re-do at least once?
