Did you apply to the vacation scheme? I believe they are non-rolling

I did a vacation scheme with Boodle Hatfield in July. When I applied the applications were non-rolling. I sent my application in early January, and then had an interview mid February. I don't know if they are non-rolling this cycle- it might be worth checking just to be safe.

They genuinely read all the applications so it is well worth taking your time! Best of luck :)

Hi everyone - Reed Smith new question: Taking into account the firm's values and drawing upon your experiences, would you feel confident enough to challenge your colleagues if they were carrying out a process incorrectly?

How would you approach/structure such a question???

Has anyone heard back from Travers Smith re winter vac scheme?? Still haven’t got an update and slightly worried now haha
I haven't heard back following the application process either. Considering I sent my application on the 1st October, I'm going to assume it is a rejection. Has anyone had a rejection yet from Travers post-app?

Not heard anything back either, I'm assuming it's a rejection. However, common advice given is to remain optimistic so maybe they are so amazed by our applications that they forgot to respond;)o_O

I am not an expert on their values but I’d make sure I understood them and how it fits into this scenario. I would also thing about when I have tried to change an established approach to something or had to influence others and use that as evidence to back up my ability to say how I would deal with this situation.

Hi - I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to prep for a written case study for SH? Not quite sure what it will entail so want to cover all bases. Thank you!
