If you are a premium member, catch up with @Alice G's interview webinar from the other night which pretty much covers the foundations for this. I think the recording is going up soon if not already.

Awesome. Thanks Alison!

Sounding like a broken record now but has anyone heard from Penningtons post-AC? 😆

I haven't heard anything yet. I really hope we hear back sometime next week.

I’ve also heard zilch. I wonder how many people they assessed...

 

[josemourinho]

Has anyone got any info from Debevoise about what time the Open Day/ Assessment Centre starts next week or the structure of the day? Grad Rec said we would find out on Friday but I didn't get any emails. Thanks!

 

[Wannabelawyer10]

If anyone has completed the AG assessment centre please DM me! I would love some advice/insight

 

[Bea Ildem]

Has anyone heard from Irwin Mitchell Bristol PLS or Charles Russell Speechlys Cheltenham? VS routes

Also applied to CRS and haven't heard back yet.

 

[John Travoni]

Can I ask what time you heard back and which office for?

Around half 5ish yesterday and the London office. Have you checked your online portal yet??

@Jessica Booker out of interest - when applying should we be putting all of our work experiences or is it better to be selective? For example I’ve worked in a number of hospitality roles, where I’ve developed similar skills, should I only be putting the most recent?

 

[SF1234]

Does anyone know if FF allow you to switch schemes post offer??

Its been a rough week, thought a meme would help. Have a lovely weekend x

Rough week is not even the word its been ugly and depressing and changing a career option week.

Thank you @Alison C! If you catch the recording I hope it helps and feel free to tag me in any follow up questions! It was a lot of info covered so feel free to ask away

Goodwin PFO on a Saturday morning... Given that Cooley rejected me as well, my technology-focused US law firm dreams seem crushed unless Orrick or MoFo miraculously take interest in me.

im sorry — can I ask was goodwin for a summer vac scheme?

 

[layla rose]

Random but how do people react after getting the call that they got the vac scheme after ALL the hard work/effort put in to getting it?? 😄

I was surprised because got the call late at night and was just like 'oh nice one thanks' think the partner thought I sounded disinterested lol

Has anyone heard from Winston & Strawn - like anything at all, positive or negative news?

How does everyone cope with waiting for the results of an AC. Its uber stressful.

Heard there were some PFOs last week, but I don't think anyone has heard any positive news yet

Would also love to know this... can’t stop thinking of all the stupid things I said lol

 

[jan28]

Does Shoosmiths recruit mainly from the vac scheme? Not going to be able to complete the rest of my Vac scheme apps so thinking of applying for direct TC instead 😅
