2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
I trailed off in the middle of two answers, even ending one with “so, yeah ...” + 10 seconds of dead silence, and I got through. If there’s one sure thing, it’s that this recruitment process makes no sense. It’s not a rejection until you get the email.- Veep9

No, thank goodness. It’s now 4 questions at 300 words each. I just have been writing and rewriting it for about 4 weeks so let’s just say I’m very invested. 😬- Veep9

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
It’s the sort of thing a well meaning person might think ensures a level playing field but is actually kind of insulting. (Not because I think I’m better than other disabled people but because we should be judged with our cohort, imo.) I mean, we’re probably barking up the wrong tree. All this...- Veep9

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Yup. I feel like I’m back here every two weeks asking the same questions but the wait is soul destroying! thank you so much! This is super encouraging. Simmons is odder still because they’ve confirmed I’ve got through to AC stage but haven’t scheduled me for one, although I do know that they...- Veep9

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Because timed tests and exams don’t emulate real life. The truth is, once hired, not every trainee will do the exact same role. The firm and trainee will work together to find roles, seats and responsibilities that suit and benefit them both. Or, as Jessica says, the disabled trainee will...- Veep9

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
Hi all, I just had a thought and would very much appreciate any thoughts. If I’m listing the open days I’ve attended in the work experience section of an application form, will it look bad if I list firms which are quite different than the firm I’m applying to? Edited to add: I have also...- Veep9

I said I have a disability that means I can only use one hand and they said that doing the game would disadvantage me so don’t do it, and they would get in touch re next steps at a future date.- Veep9

I know some people were told by TW not to do the Arctic Shores game for disability / reasonable adjustments-related reasons. Has anyone in that situation heard, either with an AC or PFO?- Veep9

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Yeah, I feel this. I got to AC last year with two big firms and I don’t know how. I love the firms but it very much felt like fluke. This year, lockdown has meant I have attended so many events, really learned more about firms and commercial law, and I’m not getting anywhere. I don’t know how to...- Veep9

Z It seems no one has heard so I think (hope!) that they’ve just underestimated how long they’ll need to get through applications. Plus they’ve said telephone interviews in April so there’s plenty of time!- Veep9
