Did anyone else get a random invite from Ashurst a year later??

[astra3127]

I applied for Ashurst direct TC over a year ago and I forgot I even applied. I thought they just ghosted me because other people from my year who applied got their TC offers from them already. I’ll take it I am so grateful, just very surprised. Bit nervous as I’m out of country and left all my research and open day notes in England, and I now have to get myself super up to speed with what the firm has been up to. Also wondering how a virtual AC will go, how it will be different. I also can’t seem to find whether Ashurst takes a lot of people from Direct TC or if they primarily recruit from vacation scheme, I definitely knew at one point but it’s in that notebook in England...
Anyone else have this happen??

Wow, I can't say I've heard this happen before, but really well done! You may find this thread helpful for some virtual vacation scheme advice: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/virtual-vacation-schemes-top-tips.2459/.

Congratulations! The best advice I can give you is not to worry too much about how many people are recruited from which path etc - just really focus on preparing well and remaining calm for the AC. When you get to this stage (especially when you applied a fair while ago!) they clearly see you as a very strong candidate so have confidence in that and I wish you all the very best!

That's good advice thank you, I know it's not helpful to ruminate over numbers and I have to check myself when I do it. And to Jon no I just applied for Direct TC, haven't changed to summer vac - I'm doing the LPC this year so I don't think I would have time/be able to do the vacs under my visa status
