    Also a career changer and I think there is real truth in what @Kubed says. Firms will say that they appreciate the experience that career changers bring and, if I talk to grad recruitment informally, they are very impressed by my experience. But because training contract recruitment is so...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I am in a similar position and have actually reached out to a number of partners to learn about their firms and their careers. It has been moderately helpful – for example, through one connection I was able to have a chat with the recruitment partner at the firm and got feedback on my...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I'm turning into a bit of a broken record but has anyone heard from Hogan Lovells for direct TC after submitting the app / with WG? Last year, I was sent WG immediately so slightly concerned it's been 10 days and have had nothing.

    I applied for the direct TC but haven’t heard at all. Not even been sent the WG. So 🤷🏽‍♀️ There’s a while to the deadline so I’m a bit concerned about what’s happening.

    Hi, does anyone know if the Hogan Lovells WG is automatic or they review the form first?

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hello all! It’s been a bit of a stressful time at the day job so I had checked out of TC applications. Coming back to them now, and I see that I’ve missed several deadlines. I know that the answer is likely to be if you don’t apply, you don’t have a chance, but, realistically, is there any point...

    It’s quite shocking, the way they’ve dealt with this application! I’ve sent another chaser but I guess I’ll do a straight application too this weekend. 😡

    Has anyone heard positively from AS about the Harbottle TC interview? The firm’s deadline is soon and I want to apply directly if I’m not getting through with AS but I’ve heard not a peep from them and they aren’t replying to my chaser!

    yea, I’m feeling this very strongly. I attended two open days with Baker McKenzie and toiled for weeks over the application. Nothing. Applications I did on the fly, I’ve got through to AC 💔💔

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Oh. So like one of those ones where you have 60 seconds to think and 60-90 to answer? I asked to move to the 2022 cohort and they’re hoping to do that last stage in person, but this is interesting info

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I agree two weeks is not crazy late. I also think they’ll meet their May AC dates. They say only 40% of applicants move forward from application stage. Watson Glaser is an easy automatic culling mechanism (you either meet or don’t meet the benchmark) so they just need to review the VI. So they...
