    White & Case Applications 2020/21

    Is it worth applying for the vac scheme if I got rejected from the open day? They did encourage to still apply in the email but I realised it might have been down to a few grammatical mistakes in my open day app :/

    How to answer 'why didn't you convert the VS into a TC?'

    Thank you! Would I mention it was the exercise itself that let me down or just the skills when discussing this at interview?

    How to answer 'why didn't you convert the VS into a TC?'

    How to answer 'why didn't you convert the VS into a TC?'

    I know some candidates who failed to covert their last vs into a tc have been asked this before. How would you go about this, especially if the feedback you got wasn't the best?

I have just read this on Chamber's Student which confused me: "The firm chooses vac schemers directly from their application forms. Meanwhile, following a preliminary video interview, around 70 of those applying directly...

    Is there any point applying for A&O's summer vs now when the application has been open since August? I was initially really undecided if I wanted to apply but now I want to... or should I just wait for next year?

    Herbert Smith Freehills App

    That’s so reassuring to know, thank you! However, I didn’t receive any report after I completed my test. The only evidence I have is my internet history

    Herbert Smith Freehills App

    Just received an email from Herbert Smith Freehills stating my application has been withdrawn because I didn't complete the test in 24 hours and they have no record of it. However I did complete it and was taken to the completion window - not sure why they have no record of this. They said to...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi, I'm confused. I've just checked Slaughter's website and it says they're opening 2023 TC applications in June 2021??? I could have sworn the application window was already open for this and closing soon? https://www.slaughterandmay.com/careers/trainee-solicitors/apply/

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    For competency questions either at application or interview, would it be wise to mention the skills you got from vac schemes at other firms over the summer (but didn't end up securing a TC at)? Particularly if you didn't apply to the current firm's vac scheme that cycle?
