Hi! I am doing a vacation scheme at the end of July and would be beginning a conversion course soon after. If I am offered a training contract off the back of my VS, they will fund my conversion course but if not, I will have to fund it myself. There’s a very short time between finding out if I get a TC and starting a conversion course - does anyone have any tips as to how I should approach this? Should I enrol in the selected course that the firm I am doing my VS at uses? Is there a chance that places run out if I leave it too late? I would be grateful for any insights thank you 😊

was starting to feel bleak about getting anything this year but got a gibson dunn interview invite on friday and a bevan brittan video assessment invite just now 🤩
didn't realise BB was a video interview style so im probably cooked but we'll see, im really interested administrative and public law so i hope they can see that through the poor interview skills😭

it will probably be in batches i'm guessing!! i emailed the early careers team and they were very quick with a response and to put in my adjustments lmaoo so i'm guessing they are doing a lot of invites throughout today and are on the email response grind -- i just received the link to the assessment as i'm writing this, they are probably just dealing with it on a person by person basis rather than sending out mass automated invites and assessments
Ahh yess, makes sense. I don’t know, still haven’t heard - getting kinda nervous
I can’t believe I’m writing this but… SH Spring vacation scheme offer!!!
When multiple people on here have started having dreams about receiving emails from law firm grad rec (including me icl) you know this job sector is cooked
Ah sorry i didn't mean to make anyone nervous, I might have been an early reply -- maybe because i talked about reasonable adjustments in my app and they might invite quicker where people need to liaise over email about adjustments before being able to do the assessment ?? But idk !!Ahh yess, makes sense. I don’t know, still haven’t heard - getting kinda nervous
They will for sure get back to all of yous with the assessments some time today 🙏🙏It's also only 2pm, they probably only just started sending out the invites after lunch tbh, and who knows what their system is
I literally did the test yesterday so they are definitely working through them!!
hi guys, i was just wondering what i should do here.
i have applied for, i guess, informal work experience at a firm (just sending a cover letter, cv and preferred location). i sent the email 2 weeks ago on thursday and the auto email was that they would aim to get back within 48 hours. i understand that its quite busy in terms of application season so i was wondering when an appropriate time is to follow up and send another email?
