    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I applied on the 1st December for Kirkland's vac scheme and I've not heard anything since. I know they've held ACs/interviews, so I am assuming it is a PFO, but is it worth emailing the recruitment to get confirmation?

    Is anyone waiting to hear back from Willkie? I applied on the 27th or 28th, and I've still not heard anything despite their 10-day window! Not sure if they have received a lot of applications before the deadline, and it's taking them a bit longer?
