Gowling WLG VC Application Question
- Thread starter M&M

I have mine on Thursday for the London Office!
I did the Gowling vac scheme last year so can definitely help if needed
Hi!! I have the AC coming up and just wondering what the layout is generally and what to revise for each section? Thank you in advance!I did the Gowling vac scheme last year so can definitely help if needed
I believe the layout is in the email you get sent before! But there’s basically a written task, a group meeting and then an interview.
my experience last year was that the interview was mainly competency based so definitely have some examples you can give for competency questions. I’d say brush up on your knowledge of the firm and commercial issues in general. If you can answer “why Gowling” and “why law”, even if they don’t ask your research and prep will be really useful! From my experience last year I felt really comfortable the whole day as everyone was so nice so just be yourself and you’ll be great
Thank you! I wonder if group tasks are going to be difficult to do given the virtual environment... hope it’s not too badI believe the layout is in the email you get sent before! But there’s basically a written task, a group meeting and then an interview.

The vac scheme was virtual this year and the AC for the TC eventually. It is a little awkward to start with but everyone gets used to it quite quickly!Thank you! I wonder if group tasks are going to be difficult to do given the virtual environment... hope it’s not too bad
Still waiting!
nope, the closer it gets to friday the less hope i have for good news
though i suppose as no one from the birmingham office on here has heard anything positive it must mean theres more places?Lmao I thought the exact same. I remember ppl on here who applied to the London office heard from Gowling re ac invites around 8pm? At least that’s when they messaged to say they just got the invite.nope, the closer it gets to friday the less hope i have for good news
I check my emails until 9pm I am SO nervous
I am worried because it seemed like they left the PFO’s towards the end of the week
That’s so true and it’s making me even more nervous. I think after Thursday I will have no hope leftI am worried because it seemed like they left the PFO’s towards the end of the week
Has anyone who applied to the Birmingham office heard back, be it an AC invite or a PFO?
No, I’ve heard nothing back either. Can scarcely believe four weeks have gone by since video interviews.
