2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[tractor12]

Guys I’m in a bit of a crisis.

I’ve just received an invite to the AG AC which is amazing, but I’ve already got my Mills & Reeve AC on the same day and ALL the AG slots overlap with that AC by a few minutes each way. My Mills and Reeve AC was booked weeks ago and can’t be changed now. Super upset... I’ve already emailed grad recruitment, anyone have any advice? The AC is next Tues which doesn’t really give much time!

well done! I'm sure AG will be able to reschedule

Edit: I would try and call AG rather than email

 

[tla99]

anyone else not heard from Latham or Cleary yet?

got my pfo today

I'm rlly sorry to hear. This is proving to be such a brutal cycle with extra competition. Stupid q, but this was post-interview, right?

 

[GS0W]

Did anyone hear from the following post-app?
Macfarlanes
Ashurst

Hey, I had emailed Macfarlane's last week regarding an update, and they said they are still reviewing applications and hope to 'let all candidates know an outcome by the end of February/mid-March'

Any further news on Slaughter & May Summer Scheme? I know some heard back yesterday, but is anyone else still waiting? Am non-Law.

In the same boat as you!

 

[GS0W]

Hey everyone, does anybody have any tips on how to prepare for situation type questions for an AC?

Sorry about that. If you don't mind me asking, when was your AC and when did you get invited to interview??

 

[Jacob Miller]

I used to be in that club! When did you visit?

It was in February 2020, I was presenting with a company I used to be a part of before I set up my own gig

I've heard from a friend who did it last year and was successful that everyone feels that way coming out of an interview with Stephen L. He is just very forceful with the questions and really doesn't back down!

Were the questions quite focussed on why them and why PE?

 

[breadpitt]

Btw is anyone applying to Latham Dubai? Perhaps I should start a thread

I’ve created a thread under Latham Dubai Summer Vac!

I also had a question about this - what points did you include/ what structure did you use for this?
also when it says 'are there any lessons we can learn from them' does the 'we' mean WBD?

So, first I stated what they were/what they did and why I thought it was innovative.
- then went into a bit more detail about their services/elements of activism they took part in.
I took ‘we’ to mean WBD and also the legal sector at large. So I said what innovative elements of the business I would extract and apply to WBD and also legs professionals in general good luck!

Guys im a bit confused - does anyone know what a blank status means on CVmail? Some previously unsuccessful apps + successful apps all have a blank status on mine as well as some current ones? However, someone else on here noted they had 'in inbox' status?? Anyone know anything?

Ok never mind then. A solid two years after I left Edinburgh. I should have known better hahaha
