    Ashurst - Winter Vacation Scheme 2023

    Hi all. I’ve done the online application and three psychometric tests a while back but nothing since. Was there another stage because I can see people talking about a written exercise? I assume this potentially means a rejection but just wanted to see where others are at.

    Nope didn’t get this either. It does seem like a somewhat positive response though so hopefully all goes well 🤞🏽 I wouldn’t think too much into it at this stage. Best of luck to everyone :)

    Hi all, Something strange happened with one of the SJT questions for me. I was watching the video and waiting for the text to pop up at the end, but instead a new email question came up unrelated to the video scenario. When I emailed HR, they said a question can’t be skipped until answered...

    White & Case Training Contract (2025)

    Question for those who submitted successful applications/ in general - have you at any point attended a W&C open day or completed work experience for the firm prior to applying? Not sure how much weight this bears for firms as I haven’t!
