    Latham Dubai Summer Vac Scheme

    I'd be interested to know if upon email, they give guidance as to the word count! I was thinking max 300 words, just going off other applications and I think anything over that might mean I'm not as concise.

    Hey I am! I was wondering what kind of length people are aiming for in response to the 3 questions as I couldn't find a word count on their website - am I right in thinking there isn't one or have I missed something?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey, I've done it and I'd say: -Don't worry about preparing anything specific to Mishcon (apart from which departments they have to help guide your responses) because all the questions are based on the case study itself -You'll be given about half an hour to prepare and then will be expected...

    I just received a case study interview invite for Mishcon - can't believe it, I've had so many rejections by this point!! For all those waiting, I know it's easier said than done, but try not to be disheartened - I was convinced my VI was unsuccessful not having heard back for a while. This is...

    Just received a rejection for the Spring VC! So confused and sad, I took the assessment this morning and received an email an hour later saying I had met the threshold - I expected to hear back much later but heard back 40 mins ago...which seems weirdly quick. I attended their open day in...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey! Yeah the WG is automatic so if you didn't meet the threshold, the recruitment team wouldn't have seen your application. If your score is high enough then they'll take take that score into consideration alongside your written application. It's probs a good idea to go through your previous...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Hey, does anyone know whether Hogan Lovells has a specific policy on how long you have to wait to reapply. The website only says you can apply twice - is that per year or in total. It doesn't say anything about the duration in between both applications or whether you can apply to two VC's or if...

    Withers 2022 TC application question

    Hey everyone. I'm applying for the September 2022 training contract with Withers, but I'm struggling to get my head around one question: 'If you had the opportunity to change a product that you currently use, what would it be and why?' (60 words) I haven't come across a question like this...
