3 months lol (I ended up being successful but wow I thought the firm was just ghosting me)
That was like CMS sending me emails how to ace assessment centres a month after they rejected me after one hahaha
To those who are still waiting post-app for Stephenson Harwood, I just had an interview and it seems like they're still going through applications so hopefully you'll hear back soon!
I got onto their
Oh sorry, should have been clearer. I got through to their two day virtual networking and assessment centre, which I understand is what they’re doing instead of a full vac scheme this year. This was after I completed a video interview at the end of Feb.
Are people still waiting to hear back from Winston & Strawn? I am 🥺
Any successful response from Gateley at all?
Also, are people still waiting for Travers cuz I'm pretty sure they've dished out some Vacs recently?

I'm aware, however I don't think its productive to scare people with these news stories.

Read everything - the instructions, the context and any attachments - before you put 'pen to paper'
Check what you're being asked: is it an email of advice, is it a letter/letter before claim, is it a note to a colleague or client. The similarity between all of these will be write in as concise, plain English as possible. Short sentences, paragraphs, minimal legalese, sub-headings if appropriate
Back up claims with evidence in attachments
Relax! A history teacher of mine used to write ATFQ on my essays (Answer the F****** Question), funny guy. Best way of doing this is address any questions in opening lines of paragraphs, using wording for instance, and proof read after
