2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[S72]

For firms that have multiple vac schemes (spring, two summer intakes like HSF for examples) does anyone know if firms only give out tc offers after all the spring & summer vac schemes have happened or can you get a tc offer after lets say your spring vac scheme is over?

What is the average timeframe for Simmons & Simmons to respond post-VI?

Just recieved an AC invite from TLT

Has anyone else heard from TLT? I haven't heard anything at all yet!

 

[H Chambers]

What is the normal wait time to hear back from an AC?

 

[tkhkat]

Anyone heard from Ashurst post-AC yet (from the Feb ACs)?

Don't think you'll hear back too soon as there are three other ACs taking place between this week and next week (mine's tomorrow). This is just a hypothesis - not sure whether Ashurst makes offers after all the ACs are completed/on a rolling basis, but it could very well be the former if you haven't heard from them yet 😀

Has anyone had their initial Graduate Recruitment interview with BCLP yet? Would really appreciate any advice on how best to prepare for it and its format.

Thanks!

Does anybody have any tips re-Mishcon VS final interview? Would be greatly appreciated

Most give them out as they go along - I know someone who has a TC offer from HSF after the Winter VS, for example

Hi everyone,
I posted this on my LinkedIn feed earlier. I thought it was useful to share here as I know people have received rejection emails from us recently.

To those who have recently applied to us for a #vacationscheme I want to give you an update. I know a few people have received rejection emails from us recently, so here are a few points I'd like to address: First - thank you so much for taking the time to apply. We do understand the effort...

Ugh I recently did an interview for s&m and I think it went well but I felt very informal. I don’t know how to wait through till the result. I hate the anxiety. Any tips on how to deal?

Have you emailed them asking for an update on your application?

I have a random question... would it be good to connect on LinkedIn with the partners who interviewed you, after a VS offer? Though, it's been some time since the AC.

Has anyone heard from:

Farrer & Co
Penningtons
Dentons (Direct TC)
HFW
Withers

Hi Carmen, have u heard back from PMC or Withers?

 

[Ricky]

Struggling to research this question for Stephenson Harwood. Who are SH main competitors and what differentiates SH from them? Any response would be greatly appreciated

Check Legal 500 and Chambers to see who is in the same, one above and below band or tier for each area.

I think they said the next round would be in April?

 

[Ana_M]

safe to assume rejection from PMC/CRS/HFW/Bates Wells if I haven't heard anything post app !?! (London offices)

I haven't heard from CRS so I'm assuming it's a rejection :/

 

[FM302989]

At least. Check the confirmation email you received after the application. They do their TC/VS interviews very close to the event
