@Andrei Radu Hi!! :) This isn't a strictly VS/TC question, but you have answered a similar question for me before so I was wondering if I could quicky get your thoughts on this. I am applying for paralegal roles at the moment. With some firms, the recruitment process is moving quite quickly and...
Thank you! I did email them. They said they are still reviewing candidates so I didn't get an answer. Maybe if I had mentioned about needing time off from work that would have worked, but useful to know for next time :)
@Andrei Radu @Jessica Booker
Hi Both :) Please could I get your opinion on this. I have applied for Withers VS (scheme week starts 17th March). I haven't heard back yet regarding the virtual video interview after the online test. I work full-time so I would need to know whether to take time...
Guys should I email withers for an update? I applied for March scheme (17th) and haven't heard back post online test. I feel like I am on the rejection pile maybe but it's ridiculous, like tell me my outcome
I applied to AG for their spring scheme, did the test and STILL haven't heard anything...wtf like just send me my outcome 😭 I am losing my patience omg
General question about CVs. I have received different advice on how many bullet points/information to include under each experience. Some have recommended to include no more than 2 bullet points and others have said that I am not stelling myself enough. What do you all think?
Could I please...
Actually getting so impatient with Withers omg 😭 I have a feeling I should just wait until first week of February for all my spring scheme applications. Withers' VS is in March so I would have thought they would try to get back by this week latest for interview invite/ rejection.

You are amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that, it's really appreciated. I am for sure interested in cross-sector expertise and personally I find that the firm's way of training may not be right for me. Now I can't decided whether I should apply for the sake of...
So should I focus on teams just in one sector or take a more open-minded approach and say, well, if I get the TC in health, I would like to do idk regulatory work. If business services, corporate. And so on? I mean I am assuming you don't get to choose your sector?
Guys for Hill Dickinson, please can I check if the following means that your TC is only within one of those areas? Does this mean that if you want to join their health sector, your TC will not include seats in, say, marine work?
As a firm, we operate across a number of sectors and specialisms...
Is anyone else starting to get resentful? I feel like I have made so many sacrifices for the TC cycle and so far there's been no good news. I know people always say 'if you want it badly enough just keep going', but how badly does one ever want employment? 😭 I want to work as a lawyer and I want...
