    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write these kind words. You're 100% right and I will pick myself up but today is my sulking day :p. Good luck to you too :). [edit] PS: Funny you mention CC, I got rejected last year and I remember being so sad about it! Chose not to re-apply this year...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Just received a rejection from NRF for the Spring VS. Got to the telephone interview stage for Summer VS last year but failed to impress and I was really hoping I'd get another shot. Guess not. For some reason this rejection hurts a lot more than the others. I know it's silly but it feels...

    I have a question for @Jessica Booker (if you have time to answer!). I applied to the NRF summer vac scheme last year and got all the way to the telephone interview where I unfortunately did not make it through to the AC stage. Do you think it's acceptable to reuse the same online app form...

    Sorry if I confused anyone - A&O do not do the WG. I meant SJT in my original post :).

    Norton Rose Fulbright Nrf telephone interview

    Hey Arash, Thanks for the reply! I got rejected post phone interview too. I received an automated email stating no further feedback would be given. How did you obtain feedback on yours? It was quite the disappointment and the fact I received an automated mail after it all felt like a real...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Rejected post phone interview for NRF. Disappointing but got to move on now. Congratulations to all those who secured VS and TCs this cycle, but also those who made it far in the recruitment process. It's an achievement in and of itself. Wishing you all the best!

    Yeah I think I'll just leave it and hope the score is not influenced by the example questions. Wouldn't really make sense if it is but you never know! Thanks :)

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I'm having second thoughts about the strategy I used to complete a WG test. I decided not to complete the example questions as I had already done them in a previous practice round by myself the day before so I skipped through them as to maximise my time focusing on the actual questions, but...

    Just received a WG invite from NRF for the Summer Vac Scheme! I applied on Jan 17. So for those still waiting, good news may be coming your way! Also, don't overthink when you submitted your app as they seem to be reviewing them in no particular order (people who applied later than I did have...

    Still waiting! If anyone has any news or updates I'd love to know! I applied on 17 Jan for Summer VS, but nothing since. I know some people received WG invites last week but I'm not sure if that was for TC or VS. I really hope we hear back soon.

    Yeah same! Thanks anyway, hopefully we will hear back soon. :) This is the last app I am waiting to hear back from, considering all the rest were rejections, I am not too optimistic but I'd like to know for sure so I can stop thinking about it!

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Anyone heard back from NRF today? Submitted my app on the 23rd, I've read posts this week saying they received rejections as "all spots had been filled" while others have received WG invites...
