    Does anyone know whether you can apply directly for a TC with Debevoise & Plimpton? The application portal lets you do so, but the website says they recruit trainees from vac schemes

    Brand Ambassador Applications

    Hi, Does anyone have any advice about applying for Brand Ambassador roles, and in particular what they're looking for? I know it varies by firm, but any general advice is appreciated. I applied for one role in first year and I was like a rabbit caught in headlights when it came to the interview...

    Post your vacation scheme here

    I haven't heard back from them post-VI and a number of people haven't heard post-application so they probably won't respond for a while

    Quick point on V&E- While I haven't heard back after doing my VI last month, I've emailed them since then. They confirmed that they're still reviewing applications at all stages, even though they've already completed many assessment centres. I also had two people message me last night telling me...

    I've had a number of people messaging me over the past day saying they've been invited to VI, and I emailed V&E and they said they're still reading apps, so don't lose hope!

    Anyone applied for Arnold & Porter (either this cycle or in previous years) and know roughly how long they take to respond to applications after the deadline? Do they do video interviews, or do successful written applicants go straight to AC?

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I've just emailed V&E and they confirmed they're still reading everyone's applications. They're a small office with a small grad rec team if I remember correctly and they're probably juggling the pressure of interviewing AC candidates, watching people's VI responses + scheduling even more ACs...

    A&O Open Day March 2020

    Anyone heard back yet from A&O for the Open Day that's coming up on March 17th? Or know how long they take to respond to applications? Presumably they're pre-occupied with VS and TC applications? (I applied a month ago and I haven't heard back yet)

    Anyone heard from V&E or followed them up (barring those who have already received ACs)?

    I've heard about a couple people still receiving AC invites this week- I'm starting to think it's a PFO but not losing all hope

    Same question, especially considering firms seem to invite people to ACs at different times!
