    Yeah, it’s the same situation for me. Sent in the application but didn’t get any confirmation that NRF received my application. Best to wait till today evening, hopefully they send the confirmation email as it could be that their systems don’t work/respond on Sunday, just my assumption

    Has anyone here applied to Winckworth Sherwood’s 2026 TC? If so, have you heard back anything post app? They were supposed to come back to candidates by this week and I haven’t heard back. Starting to think it might be another PFO 😭

    W&C PFO post app. Absolute joke of a process!!! Are law firms actually serious about what they preach day in day out in all these networking events??? I diligently follow every and any advice that I’ve received so far and to still think it’s not enough is seriously just too frustrating. Feels...

    Is it just me or has anyone else also faced this- I’ve been applying for 2 years now and in every application, other people hear back about ACs and next stage invites yet law firms never get back to me. Am I that bad or do firms really hate me?? (apologies for the weird questions) but it seems...

    From Campus to Cubicle: Miss Piggy's Journey 🐽

    That’s great advice on how to write a dissertation. In my experience of having written one, it really helps if ur critical in ur analysis. Ultimately, that’s what a dissertation evaluates. Do u have the capability to come up with logical arguments without diluting the original theme. Tricky but...

    Wholeheartedly agree with your point. Just as an extension to this, this process does sometimes feel unfair. Everyone works bloody hard and is very deserving of all the chances they get, however when we constantly see law firms pitching about encouraging more diverse backgrounds and how diverse...

    Your post reminded me of a famous Denzel Washington quote - “To achieve something you have never achieved, you must do something you have never done before” I also like the idea of a group for direct tc apps. Would be great to exchange ideas and lend a supporting hand to each other in this...
