    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Ohh thanks so much! I was a bit confused haha I'm surprised about Linklaters haha it's been two months, although I did received an email on 14 Dec 2020 saying my app was under review. Does everyone get two 'high' attributes and one 'low' attribute? Ohh yeah sorry I did take that. I just...

    Hi everyone! Is it weird that I haven't heard back from Linklaters (10 Dec), Kirkland & Ellis (3 Jan), Hogan Lovells (3 Jan), HSF (4 Dec), CSM (4 Jan) and Latham (3 Jan)? They all closed a while ago. Don't get me wrong I still appreciate I didn't receive those six PFOs during the same week lol...

    Very basic question but when you do get invites - do they call you or do they send you an email?

    Yes definitely. I arrived in the UK in October to start my LLM so it's definitely been super frantic haha. Thanks for being nice though! It's been tough so empathy is always appreciated :)

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Umm to be honest I would've said "I'm sorry but we don't share the results externally" in the second email. I know it seems like a detail but having worked as a lawyer in another jurisdiction for 3 years I'd say those things matter. I do understand it's probably a cultural thing haha I'll just...

    I've done well in mine so far and I'd say something that's very useful to me is being aware of the degree of "common knowledge" that I should use for each section :) and including that in your "cheat sheet". I think that may be a useful tip that hasn't been mentioned haha

    Agree to disagree I suppose. I try to be friendly in all emails, as you never know what's going on on the other side of the screen. Also being informative is sort of the bare minimum when someone is asking you about information you have lol.

    Haha in fairness I'm not English so maybe it's just a cultural thing... anyway I do think that knowing how stressful these processes are, and how many rejections students get, they should be try to be friendlier. I disagree with you though, as by saying this isn't "overly friendly" you're...

    I mean, to be completely honest, I wouldn't like to work in a place where GR is so rude. Like if that's the case, what should I expect from the partners in a bad day lol. But yeah I can't be bothered using a FOI anyway, it's unnecessarily belligerent.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    It is odd isn't it?? They said: "Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we do not share the Watson Glaser results with students. The reason for this is because the score is a percentile based on a norm group which may vary from organisation to organisation". And when I asked if I could know...

    Is it normal for a firm not to share the results of the WG Test? I asked the GR Team from DLA and they were pretty rude about it. I was shocked haha I guess I won't be applying for any positions there again. Such lack of empathy is appealing coming from Human Resources tbh.
