HL has already ran an AC? Is this for their winter scheme?

Yeah was offered a spot for today or tomorrow, got invited last week (applied very early tho)

How early?

Hi, for my Gowling application, would it be better to write about my legal work experience (full time jobs) rather than talk about vac schemes which are more recent than some of my work experience? I guess there is no right or wrong answer. I am leaning towards talking about my work experience but it feels strange not to include any of my VSs.

 

[Victor87]

honestly its painful how they haven't responded esp as the deadline for WVS was end of sept I think

I'm starting to think they've filled all WVS spots and are now moving on to spring (& summer)

same honestly! I'm still waiting to hear back having done the WG at the end September!

Does anybody know of a way to view the dates when all the vac schemes are running through spring and summer?

I don't know the specifics of this firm to be able to comment with certainty. I would expect it is most likely 11.59pm tomorrow but I have seen midday and 5.00pm - 5.30pm cut offs too for other firms.

Edit - correspondence from the firm suggests it is 5.30pm tomorrow (Wednesday).
