2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

[John Travoni]

Anyone heard back from BM yet??

I haven't applied but got through to their Direct TC AC last year, after applying sometime in mid-November 2019. I didn't receive my invite until August 2020, and a friend of mine who did the year before didn't get a response until late July. You've got plenty of time so focus on some other applications rather than worrying about Macs

Ah thank you! I just wanted to know what the timeline for ACs etc was, that's super helpful

starting to sound like a broken record - but anyone heard from Macfarlanes or Harbottle yet?

Hi everyone - apologies if this has already been covered - but has anyone been given dates for their final Ashurst Training Contract interview yet?

Anyone heard back from Dentons post WG??

How long did you take to get a WG invite? I applied last Friday

Does anyone know whether everyone gets the tests invites for Fieldfisher?

I think it is part of their filtering process, I got mine a few days after I had applied

So you think they look at your app first? I haven't seen anyone get a PFO immediately is all! Have you heard anything since?

I received the results of my test about a week after and it said they would be in touch within 7 days. Only last week though so don't know if they are managing to keep to the timescale. no idea if they read the application first, probably side-by-side with test I would expect

Had anyone emailed BM re when we’ll hear back post VI? If not, I’m happy to!

Thanks for replying, please let me know how it goes - I think I'm going to submit tonight. Is it a WG or personality style test?

Good luck! pretty much all personality, no way to prepare in all honesty

I think everyone gets it. I applied on Wednesday last week, got my test on Thursday, and got my test result on Saturday! They said they’ll get back within 7 days too.

Just got a response so well within their timeframe as I applied on Wed last week.

I don't think their TC apps are. Their VS might have been though?

Random: Is it only me that already expects rejections when I send in apps? like I’m more surprised when it’s not a rejection
