2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[lilian740]

Yeah have one in March as well, hoping that the interviews are scheduled then because Spring Scheme Interviews need to be done first

I have an interview mid feb -first choice summer scheme
I know some have had interviews + been offered places already

 

[Ophelia K]

Has anyone else still not heard from CMS, Macfarlanes or RPC? (Applied near the deadline for all lol)

 

[Legallin]

Do you receive a test breakdown for BCLP?

I’d also like to know this? Did my test on Wednesday but haven’t received any feedback

Hey, I completed the BCLP test on Wednesday and received a feedback report last night at 10pm - tells you what your 3 biggest strengths are and your 1 biggest weakness is.

Congratulations! Which office did you apply for and when did you do the application?

Thank you! I applied to Glasgow and applied on the deadline, so I count myself very lucky - not sure how their recruitment works but I think I might have done pretty well on the WG and that's why I was progressed so quickly? But that's just my theory haha

Hi guys who were talking about Jones Day interviews--I have mine later this month, I think I originally submitted for spring scheme (or maybe both?) and I got this email from them:

"Thank you for your application for a Jones Day Spring placement.

I am writing to let you know that, as we recruit on a rolling basis, we have now filled all our places for our Spring Scheme and are progressing applications for our Summer Scheme."

It then said basically we will interview you for summer now, unless you email to say that you are already busy for summer.

this makes me so much more nervous. the earliest date i could’ve chosen was early march so hopefully they won’t all be filled by then

 

[Emily Kate]

yep! same position and same worry

What day is your interview? Mine's the 26th

 

[collie_121]

Hi congratulations!!!! Which office if you don’t mind me asking?

London - completed the VI 26th Jan and sent my application on the deadline.

Thank you so much !!

Got invited to 1st Stage interview for Mofo! Any tips would be hugely appreciated, especially in relation to the technical questions they can ask.

Thanks! Think I’ll wait for today and if I still don’t get any feedback might email grad review on Monday

Yeah, I'm not sure how much hope I have now tbh if places are filled before I even have a chance to interview

 

[letsee]

Hey has anyone else here got the Osborne Clarke email that they'll be considering applications for two further weeks? And has anyone heard anything different?

 

[Nathan Hayes]

Just had an update email from Osborne Clarke and they’re still reviewing applications so have delayed it for up to another 2 weeks

Still waiting on CMS. I completed the VI on 19th Jan. Not very hopeful at this point

If completed VI for Addleshaw Goddard but haven't heard back re AC yet is it more likely to be a PFO? I know it's best not to overthink things, but have seen some AC and VS offers and curious!

If it makes you feel better, there’s a ton of us who haven’t even heard back post application yet! 🤣 I wouldn’t stress until they email you with a rejection, until then, no news is good news!
