2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[M1999]

Got invited to AC for Ashurst just now, but there is no pending invite in the app portal for the interview. Is there ever/usually a delay with this? I've been super paranoid about any good news lately.

Edit: They got back to me

Could I ask when you applied?

 

[Manifesting]

I'm sorry! Could I ask if this was post interview or not? Best of luck for the future!

Thank you and best of luck to you too! This was a pre-interview rejection and I had applied within the first week the application opened.

Could I ask when you applied?

October 4th Received and did the tests a day later.

Ashurst AC people! Have you received a link for it?

Ashurst AC people! Have you received a link for it?

Yes. They sent the same email a second time a few hours after the first one and then the portal had a pending interview.

Has anyone heard from HL's winter vac scheme post-WG?

 

[M1999]

Is it a good idea to apply for a spring scheme if your winter vac scheme application was unsuccessful pre AC? I passed the screening for NRF but failed the WGT, and I’m thinking of updating my application & practising the WGT more and apply for the spring scheme which is open to graduates.

You should check whether they allow you to reapply. Most firms do not allow more than one application in a cycle. That being said if grad rec allow it, and you can see the error, it’s worth applying. You may need to rewrite your application though

I think they do allow applications within 12 months if they are unsuccessful before assessment day. However I don’t know how much of my application to rewrite if I was successful in screening but I didn’t pass the test

I would say a large proportion of it in my opinion. Whilst firms dont store applications, it will be the same grad recruitment team reading it. Obviously I’m neither Grad rec or a future trainee yet so it would be better to get advice from Jessica

Nope, still waiting

Has anyone done the White & Case video interview and can give me any tips?

 

[mlaw123]

Just got a video interview invite for White & Case's Winter VS (applied on 24th October for reference) - I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any insights!

Hi did you receive any responses for this? I have a video interview for W&C too.

Hi did you receive any responses for this? I have a video interview for W&C too.

Apparently it's 3 questions randomly selected from a question bank - 1 motivational, 1 commercial and 1 competency!

 

[lawgirl1234]

VI invite to Bird&Bird (completed WG on 22nd Oct for anyone wondering), any tips would be very appreciated

 

[TheShoe]

Anyone heard back from NRF post-telephone interview or from Links?
Any idea when we can expect to hear from either?

 

[cgs97]

Nope, still waiting

Just got rejected from them actually

 

[NadineBusty]

HL rejection for winter vs

 

[whisperingrock]

Winter vs AC from Hogans. I can't believe its real. I had an AC last year and bombed so badly on the partner interview. I have no idea why they are giving me another chance, but I am over the moon.

 

[amcha595]

I applied for Ashurst on the 10th of October, has anyone who applied around the same time as me had an invite to AC yet? Worried I left it too late
