Is Apply4law down for anyone else? Can’t get it to open

 

[Stephen]

HSF:

I am afraid that we are unable to take your application further. As I am sure you know, the competition for places is intense. There are many more high calibre applicants than we can accommodate and you should not be unduly discouraged.


Etc etc

Sorry to hear. may I ask when did you receive this and did you apply for spring or summer?

Is anyone able to offer Slaughter and May application advice, specifically on the cv.
For example, is it wise to exclude full breakdown of my results as they are already listed in the application form? Also, is it okay if I take out contact details leaving only my name at the top of the cv? Trying to free up space.

hey, I can PM you my CV as I sent it to them if you want? I interviewed there

Same! Want a little under review email for encouragement.

I know! I'm not sure why us two didn't get under review emails from Links(i got it from Travers tho...)...

I have no idea. But, I got the CAPP report, whereas others got the review email, and yet no Capp report. no idea why.

 

[Dos]

Does anyone reckon firms interview in batches?

 

[Carolinec12]

Congrats guys, when did you apply?

Thank you, I applied pretty much on the deadline and got an invitation on 15th of January.

 

[MVE49]

I just received "under review" email from Linklaters. I am not sure what this means. And why the firm send this one?

It seems to be automated 6 weeks after applying.

Anyone know what “on hold” actually means when it comes to the Links app?

 

[MVE49]

Anyone know what “on hold” actually means when it comes to the Links app?

It just means they haven’t given you the decision yet. Everyone gets it as soon as they submit the application and then it changes after a decision’s made.

 

[KerC14]

Hi all,

filling out vac scheme apps on my first cycle and its definitley a learning curve!

anyone have any advice for answering this question?

'Tell us about an outstanding personal achievement which added value to your academic or work environment'

I can think of personal achievements that have meant a lot to me, but I can't link these to uni or any of my previous work roles. Struggling to see what they're after with this question and not sure if I can actually answer it.

Thanks in advance!
