2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Holly]

Does anybody know how long Jones Day takes to respond after your interview?

Last year, they got back to me about a week later! Good luck

 

[Celestie]

I’m sorry but if Sidley don’t offer you the vac scheme.. they’re making a big big mistake! Best of luck

I just saw this! Thank you, I am still not 100% sure how it went as there were was one thing in PE I struggled to understand. How are you feeling post-NRF? Are you doing ok?

 

[Lumree]

Im in the same position! I also applied on the deadline and haven't heard back - I'm guessing they review applications on a first come first serve basis maybe?

I applied in October and I’ve heard nada.
I’ve seen people get rejected and invited to tests/AC who applied after me!

 

[Celestie]

And with that, I wish everyone a happy Friday and best of luck on your applications and interviews! Lots of love x

Hi! I was wondering if anyone was still waiting to hear from A&O? I saw that a lot of people already got their AC (or rejection emails). My application has been under review for more than a month...

I'm on hold too...... only got my result for the WG test.

Georgina, I sympathise with this so much. In my first year, I applied to three firms, got to AC for all three, and did a VS. Then in my second year, with all the experience I'd gained, I put every second into my applications over many months and got rejected by everybody! It's totally disheartening and you just think "but I have everything you've asked for, what am I doing wrong, maybe this industry isn't for me and the world is telling me no " However, you just have to pick yourself back up, keep building your experience until you have such detailed and specific reasons to you that nobody can turn you down, and get your applications checked by as many eyes as possible!!!! Fingers crossed for this year but there is no time limit on your career and ability. You can do this ❤️

Thank you for the support!! I really appreciate it

Did you have to request it or did they send it to you? I'm sure I only got the personality report/

Anyone hear back from links spring vs or dla piper?

I haven't heard back from links and got rejected by DLA Piper quite early on!

Anyone heard from osborne clarke at all?

No haven't heard back yet but they're non-rolling and the deadline was only a week ago so I think it might take a while!

Hi guys, how necessary is it to write an introductory paragraph for the Ashurst cover letter? I’m just finishing mine up and I’ve gone straight into the body. Is that generally a no no? Would appreciate any insight
