    That is amazing, well done! I have to say, with absolutely no complaint towards you of course, that that is also incredibly frustrating. The firm’s GR just does not make sense, first with their system/database mixups and then because they seem not to comply with their own deadlines. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I look up a lot when I’m thinking. So like mid sentence my eyes will drift up. And, in person, it’s not so bad because I can follow it up with eye contact and a smile but on camera it just looks like I’m rolling my eyes. Constantly. 🙈

    At their open day, I’m pretty sure they said they would look at TC applications after the deadline

    To jump on, would you explain why those attributes and how you demonstrate them?

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I ... kinda feel like if you want a certain mould of a lawyer, you get them young and train them up. It feels like a control thing. To me, this is remarkably short sighted, especially in a world in which diversifying intake has become key, but if you are CC and have several thousand...

    Fox Williams asks “how do you rate your computer skills?” and then asks for details! What do they want here? Is it just competency with Microsoft Office?

    Just got this: I apologise if there has been any confusion with your submission. A system error has meant some individuals have received an email suggesting their questions were not received when they actually were. I can confirm that we have received your response and it has been...

    I rang Holly’s mobile, got voicemail, didn’t leave a message. I am so frustrated. I hope it’s just a mixup. I’m also taking solace in the fact that they seem to be reviewing all answers before inviting to AC so whether they see our emails from Dec or yesterday, it will be counted.

    Hi @Jessica Booker, you may have seen all the confusion about Reed Smith. Some of us sent in answers to their research questions over December. Yesterday some people received an email saying “we’re reviewing applications and will be in touch re AC soon” and others got “please send in your...

    I tried ringing and got Holly Allen’s mobile number through her voicemail welcome message. For some reason, that feels like it would be overstepping so I’m not sure whether to call

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Anyone heard from NRF for TC? I just realised it’s been two weeks since their email saying they’d now review TC apps and let us know in two weeks. And while I understand of course that it isn’t to be a strict deadline + GR is probably overwhelmed with applications and working from home, it’s...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Oh I definitely didn’t mean I’d ask her the question I’d ask a trainee but I just wasn’t sure what kinds of questions to pitch. She has moved from another firm quite recently so asking her thoughts on the difference between the two and the attractions of her current firm was one I was thinking...
