    What was your WG percentile if you don't mind sharing. Also anyone else who got the open day can you share your WG score if you are happy with sharing it.

    I asked the exact same question the other days, this is their reply: "We advise to apply only for one vacancy per recruitment cycle as you can complete online assessments only once per academic year so your scores from first application will be considered for the second one as well."

    Congratulations!! 🥳🥳 just quoting a helpful post from @Amma Usman which you might find helpful 😁 If I may, could I ask: before receiving the invite, did you notice your percentage (66%/77%) and whether you had a tick by applicant review?

    Hiya @desperateTCseeker1998 , very good one. I’ve just consulted @Ram Sabaratnam‘s wonderful thread and found out that Links falls under this scope: These firms recruit predominantly from their vacation schemes, but they have frequently made more than one direct TC offer every year in recent...

    WHAT ARE THEY? First-Year Schemes, Vacation Schemes, Training Contracts

    Hi @Chandana Surthi , It’s great to hear you’re interested in applying. You can apply to opportunities from your home country. I’d just be mindful that not all firms sponsor visas for intl students for vacation schemes (VS). Most people I know of applied to direct training contracts (TC) and...

    For some firms this will be the case. For instance, I think (if I remember correctly) Linklaters state you need a certain number of weeks of legal work experience to go forward for their direct TC. But for most firms it won’t be as simple/binary as needed a certain length of work experience...

    Hi @Tangcy Yes, you should be able to do so. Although this may need to be updated, I made a short thread on the firms that typically allow you to apply for a direct training contract in the same recruitment cycle as an unsuccessful vacation scheme application. When applying for Linklaters'...

    Linklaters had 100% conversion rate for VS? So no hires from direct TC?

    Heya, I'm also still waiting for a reply from Links. I think the person who mentioned that the last set of ACs didn't mention whether they were referring to summer or spring. From my understanding, some of the PFOs sent out this week were definitely for spring - i'm not sure whether many have...
