    'Future Trainee Solicitor' 'Future nothing' (delete as appropriate) I had both of these typed in my phone. I was waiting to hear back from a law firm after a bumpy Vac Scheme. It was sort of obvious it hadn't gone well. But 'future nothing' if you don't get one of a handful of jobs at a law...

    Clifford Chance was a rejection today. No I won't be answering DMs. It's always the asme questions honestly. When did you apply etc etc. Time to focus on the future.

    No I wouldn't advise doing this. Write down the application questions beforehand. Get answers at the open day. Good luck with your law applications. Doge.

    For Clifford Chance, I believe so. In particular, their global virtual internship. They really promote it quite heavily.

    I'd also like to know that. Waiting for them, PW and Gibson.

    Did their interview two years ago. Just be familiar with their values. Also following task instructions really help. Cover yourself on the screen, IMHO. It can help reduce the distractions.
