Baker Mckenzie Spring vac scheme AC!!
Bakers Spring AC!
Hi guys, is anyone applying to Browne Jacobson? I was wondering how you're going about the work experience section given that it says "Please give details of your responsibilities and achievements and how they support your application". With the "how they support your application" part, does this mean that you have to say something like "this supports my application by xyz..." or is it enough to outline the context of the job, explain responsibilities and achievements, and then highlight the skills gained (ensuring that the skills highlighted are relevant to the role and what the firm is looking for) just like you would in any other work experience section. I think I might be over thinking this, but this is my first app cycle so could do with some guidance 
Hey, how did you get on with the test? My pillars came out a bit wacky in the test feedback so idk whether to be hopeful or to expect a PFO
W&C AC (summer) !! First one so any advice is appreciated.

Pick something genuine. It doesn’t need to be related to law or the city.
For instance, what topics do you “geek out” on or try to inspire other people to get involved in/learn more about.
And the present it in a way that pitches the topic itself, but also sells your experience/involvement in this topic (eg how have you pursued your own excitement or inspiration within this topic).

Focus on the differences/uniqueness of that location compared to other locations you could choose, and explain why those elements align to your particular motivations or interests.How can I perhaps answer a question about why I want to pursue a career in Law in a specific region? @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker
Guess we haven't got through to Bakers spring AC if we haven't heard by now :/
Literally, I was begging W&C to send me my rejection on the phone rn. I asked that I need to know if I am progressed to AC or not ASAP, as I have full time job and I should ask for my annual leave 6 weeks in advance. I applied to spring VS and I cannot postpone it to summer as it overlaps with another scheme that I secured already. Every time they say we will update you, but nothing. I literally said people were offered schemes already, so just this rejection so I can plan my life. I know it’s probably not the right thing to show impatience to GR, but I have my own circumstances, and they should adjust with personal requests, if reasonable.
Anyway, I will consider it as a rejection officially now, because I will decline in both situations…

hey! my feedback was very mid, so if you're worried about the response they gave me it honestly doesn't mean anything - all we gotta do is remain hopeful until we hear back from themHey, how did you get on with the test?
