    Anybody else not heard at all from Mayer Brown post job simulation thing for the spring VS? I know this means I've been rejected, just wondering why they would not send me anything. 🤔

    I am the same. Are you thinking of emailing them? Usually these things are within 48 hours or so.

    I don’t know the exact reason that I’m posting this…feel like just to vent I guess…. I am today on the verge of changing my desired career path away from being a lawyer. Just bombed another interview today that I prepared so well for simply because of my stutter that I can’t control nor can I...

    I am really struggling with the work experience section. I have been using a style that I think has been letting down my applications. I have a lot of work experience (about 10 previous jobs) and so I am worried about listing skills learned as it will inevitably end up with me repeating myself...

    Should I enter my university courses I dropped out of in the education section?

    Thank you both @Jessica Booker and @axelbeugre. I think you are right and that I do have to disclose it even if, sadly, it might strongly damage my chances of ever securing a place.

    Should I enter my university courses I dropped out of in the education section?

    Hi all, I dropped out of university undergraduate degrees after the first year twice. The first time was due to disliking the course and, in all honesty, not being ready for university, and the second time was because of a mental health breakdown. As the title says, should i disclose these on...

    Aw I have a mild stammer that just becomes terrible during VIs/oral exams (because of nerves). Just done two of them this morning and worried the interviewer/examiner won't see past the stammer :( i feel your pain but an accent really isn't anything to worry about! And definitely definitely no...

    Anyone who has heard back from Bird & Bird after completing their VI, how long did it take for them to get back to you?

    Does anyone know if the Bird & Bird WG is given to everyone who applies or if there is an application review first with the chance to get rejected?

    I made a stupid mistake :( I wrote my covering letter (within an application) and forgot to sign off (eg yours faithfully and then my name). I wrote everything else fine, I just can’t believe I was so stupid and have now sent off the application. Will this affect my application at all? And...

    As a just-graduated mature student (27 years old) who is about to embark on SQE 1 prep, would it look better for me to apply directly for training contracts rather than vac schemes? I am just wondering if VS were more for younger graduates or people with less work experience (I don't have any...

    So my first VS cycle is looking like being fruitless, but I already feel like I can write an application 10x better than those I wrote just a couple of months ago. Is it worth using the knowledge I've learned to put the time in and now apply for direct TCs, or are most TCs given to VS applicants...
