    Does anyone know of any in-house training contracts available? I’ve tried to find some but so far haven’t found many

    I’ve had a couple of ACs and video interviews with no success but got a VS last year so thought that would make this year easier but that has not been the case at all!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Sorry to be a big cloud of negativity today but does anyone else just feel like giving up? I have A*A*A at A-level, go to a top RG uni with a solid 2.1 and some firsts (got an 84% once magically), have loads of extra-circulars including music sport and societies, have worked part time since I...

    Jones day rejection post interview. Gutted as I thought it went really well and got on so well with my interviewers. They don’t offer feedback either. I think this is probably the end of my legal journey so it was nice meeting people on this forum and best of luck to everyone!

    I don’t think it would cloud their judgement I think it may just change the tone of the interview. Again relating it back to how I’d personally feel I would be taken by surprise and not know how to respond as it would be an uncomfortable topic for me. This could lead the interview being cut...

    I personally wouldn’t talk about this. I think you risk making the person interviewing you feel quite uncomfortable but I may be biased there as I know if someone did this to me I’d want to crawl into a hole and cry (again very biased). By all means if it seems like the right thing to say for...

    Anyone got any insight if this probably means I was unsuccessful? I thought the rest of it was good!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Just had my Jones day interview! Don’t know if I’m overthinking it but they said ‘good luck with your other applications’ at the end and now I’m thinking does that mean a rejection 😂 Why would I need luck unless you’re going to reject me! The psychology of interviews is something else

    Well I’m currently in my last year of uni but all I know is that it is corporate banking and they’ve given me no further info!

    Thank you so much for this! Just as an interesting (or maybe boring) point I have an offer for a banking position and it actually does have 4 rotations in different areas of the business but if that’s not how all banks do it then that’s interesting. That may be why to me it seems more similar...

    I’m struggling so much to prepare an answer for why not banking for this upcoming AC. If anyone has any advice on how to answer this sort of question that’d be so helpful! I have banking experience so I’m expecting it to be brought up but in all honesty I just like the law aspect 😅 Thanks in...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Thought I would just put this on here in case it can lift someone’s mood. The jobs market is so competitive this year and many companies (not just law related) have been taken aback by the number of applications. Don’t be too hard on yourself, a rejection doesn’t in any way at all mean you...
