Shearman Spring VS PFO

Hello friends, has anyone had a rejection yet from TW? They're the final firm I'm waiting to hear back from and I feel like by now, with them only running ACs until mid-March, we'd probably have heard if we were going to be on one?

Irwin Mitchell VI invite!! Manchester BLS stream for those interested! If anyone has any tips, I'd greatly appreciate it as this is my first video interview!

Shearman PFO but the scheme starts in two weeks that I applied for haha so definitely expected

 

[AJLegacy]

Shearman Spring VS rejection. To be expected really (even though they'd be lucky to have me haha).

anybody hear back from bakers after VI for the summer scheme? Haven't seen anything...

 

[Dwight]

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back post-WG for NRF summer scheme?

Has anyone who done the WG heard back?

 

[cloud9]

I haven't seen anyone who has been rejected post-GBA I don't think ?? I was assuming that they are waiting until they have finished ACs to give out rejections but have no info to support that

Shearman PFO for me too for the Spring Vac. Kind of sad because I was very invested in the firm, attended all their events and I thought that I turned in a good app. Oh well!

When talking about demonstrating attention to detail as a competency in interview, is it bad to use the example of noticing a mistake in chronology of a folder at a law firm work experience? Not sure how it’ll seem

I wouldn't say this is inappropriate: it's relevant, topical and shows ATD. As long as you feel it's a substantial enough answer and you can justify it fully and properly, I would say that's good to go.
