Hey! I think as the deadline is the 16th July, I'd assume its midnight on the 16th i.e. tomorrow.

Did anybody else receive an email from grad recruitment today that Norton Rose Fulbright has decided to wait till all second year results have been received before viewing your application? And that we have to apply again during the next application window? My second year results were on my application so I hope it wasn’t just me who got this email

Hi there has anyone heard back from Eversheds yet ?

I got a rejection today

States 16th July

23.59 on the 16th then...

no one should leave it that late though and remember if you need any tech support, people are probably only working until 5.30pm on the 16th at the latest.

Regarding Freshfields, can anyone edit their app now? I was just checking as a few weeks ago it had an edit button but now it no longer does.

Hey! NRF haven't even held any of their spring or summer vacs yet. We were told in June that vacs would take place in September over the course of three days but haven't received any other info yet.

My guess is maybe they are waiting to make offers to VS students in September by which time they would already open apps for next cycle/make offers to direct TC applicants like yourself then.

Hope that gives you some context for the email but I'm just speculating here as well.

Hey! Thanks for replying. Your response was super helpful and the email makes a lot more sense now! I couldn’t find any information on this so thanks again. Good luck on your vac scheme

i think u need to go to the freshfields training contract page..click apply itll take you directly to the applications bit. Sign in.. you should see ”submit draft ” in blue towards the right side of your app.. i know it sounds weird but i had the same issues last night when trying to submit my app without going from the tc page

I also received the email.

I felt that the email was a bit rude.

I felt that the email was a bit rude.

How come?

 

[S87]

How come?

It is just my personal feeling. It basically said “please can you refrain from contacting the Graduate recruitment about the progress of your training contract application”. It is just a feeling and maybe a lot of people contacted the team..but not me because I know that they are notoriously slow. But all good..I have to take it like a big person
