@LongSufferingLawGrad this is fantastic news!Thank you George for this answer!
I'm also fortunate enough to be attending, (in person as much as possible!) and I am wondering how long after the scheme TC offers are made?
Hi, I'm in the final year of my law degree and am slightly confused about if I am eligible to apply for the 2023 Clifford Chance training contract vacancy (deadline is tonight) or if it has to be the 2024 one?It will be under the Education section in their taleo system.
If you graduate in the summer of 2022 with a qualifying law degree and are then able to immediately start your LPC and complete it by mid-2023 at the latest, then yes you can apply for CC's 2023 TCHi, I'm in the final year of my law degree and am slightly confused about if I am eligible to apply for the 2023 Clifford Chance training contract vacancy (deadline is tonight) or if it has to be the 2024 one?
Are you able to withdraw your submission? some firms let you withdraw and submit again, but defo email GR, what was the firm?So I was looking at a firm's vac scheme application form and filling in details about my uni results so that I could get to the next page which has the actual questions on. I had put a year 1 module mark and pressed enter on my keyboard to get onto a new line to put another module mark, and it submitted the whole application! I'm not even sure how this has managed to happen because surely there must have been other compulsory questions on the pages ahead that I hadn't answered yet. It just took me to a page that said 'your form has been submitted successfully, a member of our team will be in touch shortly'. It's a local firm that I'm not even sure I was going to apply to but it's such a face palm moment. Shall I try and contract grad rec and explain? I hadn't even entered my work experience properly.
Thank-you George - v. kind of you!@LongSufferingLawGrad this is fantastic news!
I did not realise you had been successful with your W&C application!!
So first, I need to post a celebratory gif:
Second, the WVS is likely to be different to the Spring scheme that I did. GR will tell you when you start (in my experience they told us the exact day!). Sorry that I cannot be more help than that.
After you finish and it does come to that day, my advice is really to try not to sit by your phone waiting. It was honestly awful and stressful. We can chat about that when the time comes 🚀
For now though, I really hope that you have/are celebrating.
Great news all round @jamesfp, @LongSufferingLawGrad and @mm26!
Yes - contact them to explain. Sometimes technical glitches happen, so I wouldn’t worry about it.So I was looking at a firm's vac scheme application form and filling in details about my uni results so that I could get to the next page which has the actual questions on.

Hey Melissa,So I’ve done 8 applications so far and had 5 rejections. I feel a bit demoralised/dejected and lacking motivation. Does anyone have any good advice to get past these feelings and keep going? I want to take a small break but December is approaching and I want to get more apps in but don’t want to burn out 😢
I think this isn’t absolutely a killer but it really does depend on the strength on the rest of your application. Consider it as your first strike rather than a strike out.Hi, I have submitted the Jones Day application form and realised I mixed up my two answers, for the achievements question and hobbies question. I have put my hobbies answer in the achievement section and vice versa. Do you think this will be a major set back/automatic rejection as it is pretty clear they are in a mixed up order? I have just looked over and am pretty stressed about it!
Unfortunately there will not be a standard on this. For some firms, it would include the day you got the email, for others it would mean the first day starts tomorrow like you have suggested. I would always go with the earlier date though unless you are given a specific date to complete it.Hi, I need to complete Clyde & Co's VI - it says to complete within 5 days from the receipt of the email, does that include the day it was sent or is it within the next 5 days as in the next day = day 1.
Also any tips for the VI would be v helpful! Thanks
1) yes - they won’t have received the majority of their applications yet (unlikely to until at least a week before their deadline£@Jessica Booker
1. The Simmons & Simmons summer vac scheme application window runs from the 19th September to the 19th December. Do you feel that if I get my application in before the end of Monday, I've got a decent chance of having my application reviewed before all places get filled?
2. The Jones Day application form asks candidates to lists occasions they've attended a "Jones Day event" - do you reckon this includes its live online Question Time Q&A session?
