2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

Haven’t seen hardly anyone with direct TC ACs, have you?

Nah I haven’t, except for a tiny amount. Looks like it’s likely we’ll hear back in jan. This process always takes ages

 

[AlRJ]

Is anyone still waiting for A&O?

Yes still waiting! Its likely we won't hear back until Jan. I've only seen 1 or 2 people on here get an AC invite for the direct TC too but others have been rejected so hopefully no news is a good sign atm!

How many have you seen that’s been rejected?

 

[AlRJ]

About 3 people. I've seen a lot more rejections on the summer vac scheme thread too.

Does Freshfields mind if you edit and resubmit your application? I found a wee typo again and I have an opportunity to fix it.

I think @Jessica Booker often says that most successful trainee applications actually do have one typo or two and I'm not entirely sure it would be smart to flag up a potential typo to GR.

I've already resubmitted it once cause I needed to change something. But I guess I will just leave it then

if you can log in and change it, I personally would. Just don’t submit a whole new application.

Yeah you can go in and change it and click submit again. I was just curious if it's something they look down on

Just got my A&O direct TC rejection. Not that it was unexpected tbh. New Years Day! Nice!

Sorry to hear, hope you have more luck going forward! When did you submit app/pass the SJT?

Sorry to hear, hope you have more luck going forward! When did you submit app/pass the SJT?

That's a whole other story. So I did the SJT on 18 December and pretty much got instant confirmation that I had passed.

Then a day later got an email that I hadn't yet done the test and that if I don't complete it before the link expires, my application would not be considered.
After trying to contact grad rec for two days, finally speaking to someone on the phone who wasn't very helpful, then sending 3 emails, I heard back that they had recieved my test.

So I don't know!

I am so sorry to hear this, it really sucks that it had to be on New Years Day. I'm wishing you the best of luck for the rest of the application cycle!

 

[AlRJ]

I hope so, good luck!!

Hey guys,

Did anyone hear back from the Norton Rose Fulbright Trainee Recruitment team? I am yet to hear a response ever since the application confirmation email.
