    Also applying as a career changer. Hogan Lovells rejection email was amusing. Wishing me luck with my studies. I finished my degree in 2019... I know most applicants are students. Still, it doesn't feel very inclusive.

    They haven’t shared any scores, IIRC. They’ve said pass or fail sometimes. Hopefully you hear good news soon.

    Quite useful when I’ve watched it. US focused but still pretty helpful. The accent is very listenable too.

    Hogan Lovells confirmed I passed WG. No other news from them unfortunately. Good luck to other people waiting.

    All depends on: 1) What are the VSs' conversion rates? 2) Are the DTCs rolling/non-rolling? 3) When are the Vacation Schemes happening? 4) How long would you have to write the apps? I'd try to do both since it's not necessarily a given you'll convert the VSs.

    Thoughts on the graduate apprenticeship route? Running out of TC applications here. Are they much harder to get? Just started thinking about this option. Also anything from Hogan Lovells today? Would also like to manage expectations. What are my chances with HL? A few VSs and work experiences...

    'A Recruiter looked at your profile'. Thanks for that fantastic news, LinkedIn. Thought it was an April fools.

    Many paralegals also don't get interviews. For example, a previous Vac Scheme. There was one paralegal doing it. Other two applied but no dice. So paralegals aren't always successful.
