Has anyone already done the WBD work placement/vacation scheme? How did you find it? How was the TC interview? x

In the Travers Smith app, there's a section under the work experience entries that says 'Other Work Experience: Outline Details/Responsibilities if required'. Is this where grade rec wants us to put online events/virtual work experience programmes?

Or is this where insight weeks etc should go because we weren't actually 'employed' there? The other work experience boxes all specify an employer field

I’ve emailed Penningtons Manches Cooper a few days ago and not had a response. The stress of waiting is sooo frustrating. It is my top choice - hoping for good news.

Hi, did you hear back from PMC yet?

 

[JadeWadey01]

Also is anyone still waiting on Harbottle & Lewis? I haven't heard anything and haven't been rejected yet

 

[wolfwoman]

Has anyone heard from Sinclair Gibson yet?

Aren't you only allowed to add four work experiences? I would put your most relevant and recent work experiences as these four and then quickly summarise other work experiences in the extra section.

Nothing so far. Are you waiting to hear from them too?

Oh I see, I haven't filled them in yet so assumed that I'd be able to add more once I'd filled the first four in!

Thanks - I'll do that then
