    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    The people that received invites have done theirs at different points in the last month (from their post histories). Could be that Willkie has a bunch of different people marking them and they've been quite busy. I did mine on the first day I could and haven't heard back, not a rejection until...

    It's shorthand for 'please f*** off'. Aka binned / rejected / yeeted / deleted!

    Spring clashes with LPC teaching for me sadly! Was there even a choice as to which one we applied to on the original application?

    Not sure - the email said end of Feb but I think they've had far more applications than they anticipated. Spring Scheme dates are 12 to 23 April. I'm not even sure which one I applied to!

    Nope! Sounds like they're still going on judging by some of the posts here - I'm thinking it'll be a few weeks until we hear.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I've got an AC tomorrow - slightly surprised as I interviewed there last year and was unsuccessful! Just wondering whether I should mention the fact that I interviewed there last year in the interview itself? It was included on my application form, but whether I need to raise it...

    Pre Employment Checks

    Thanks! Just a couple months bar work in 2015 had me slightly concerned as I realised the company had changed hands and would be difficult to track down the original owners!

    Pre Employment Checks

    If an employment reference is non-contactable / unwilling to provide a reference, would things like a P45 / payslips be sufficient to prove employment?

    It's not time limited - which is nice! Takes about 15-20 minutes. I recommend just having a brief read of RS' values beforehand just so you have a good idea of what they're looking for. Good luck!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I did one today using the TopScore platform and didn't use Word. My reasoning behind this was that if they can track real-time what you're writing then it might look odd if suddenly an answer appears with three minutes to go. A written exercise is also meant to test your grammar and spelling...

    Hey, I had this too - as Jessica said you should email Grad Rec - they'll get it resolved for you // you'll be able to re-record the answers that were affected.
