Irwin Mitchell Vacation Scheme & Training Contract Application 2024

I have done my AC for the manchester office, waiting on a response now

Don’t overthink it, just be yourself and try to ensure your answers are natural in the interview as opposed to it sounding scripted. I know IM look for genuinely good people so show enthusiasm! smile & ask questions etc!

The written exercise and discussion task was a lot less intimidating than I was expecting too & regardless of whether I get the offer i genuinely enjoyed the AC.

So just do your research on the firm, give natural responses and im sure you’ll be fine!

Hey Adam!
Congrats on completing your AC.
I was just wondering whether the written exercise/discussion task are elements that you can prepare for at all - ie are you expected to show any knowledge or are they really for demonstrating your personal skills and abilities?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

London AC invite!! 😍 Opened fully expecting a PFO as it had been so long (VI 12th Jan) so this was a nice surprise! Hope you all hear back soon with good news too 🤞

Have many people heard back from the Sheffield office? It isn’t included in the poll

I had my AC for Sheffield today I would email the Early Careers team perhaps if you haven’t heard back!

For the written task you do not really need any legal knowledge so it is more about skills which is understandable since non-law students also apply.

The discussion task doesn't require legal knowledge again but being relatively commercially aware could be useful.

No worries!

Fantastic - this is really useful! Good luck, I hope you have a positive outcome!

Good luck Alex! How did you find it?

Good luck Alex! How did you find it?

Thank you! It was a lot less daunting than I thought it would be. Everyone is really friendly and the morning as a whole was quite enjoyable! This is the second AC I’ve done, and I definitely noticed a positive difference in the way this one was conducted. Good luck to you too!

anyone else still yet to hear from Leeds :/

 

[Gs4]

Emailed asking for an update and then got my rejection through a few hours later. Maybe best to email if you haven’t heard back yet. Good luck to all x

Just to say I also tried this with London earlier and they just said they had a lot more applications than usual to vet and so are still reviewing them. Haven’t heard either good nor bad news since 🤷🏻‍♀️ - sorry to hear about that though ❤️ Better luck with the next one!

Anyone know when we will hear back about the results of Manchester AC's? Does anyone have any idea of how many people usually get through?

Hi, I had a Manchester AC too. No idea when exactly when we find out - all they said is it should be before Easter... But if anyone else has any insight, that would be amazing. Really wish we had a specific date, I keep refreshing my emails just in case! Good luck

Has anyone heard post-VI for Birmingham?

 

[millierxse]

Has anyone heard post-VI for Birmingham?

Yeah! I did my VI in early December and I have just completed my AC for Birmingham on Thursday 24th (I received my invite two weeks before the AC).

 

[Ebla4]

Has anyone else *still* not heard? I emailed them on the 16th March asking what’s up and they just said they’re still screening and it’s taking them a while but it feels so weird to still not have had either an offer or a rejection yet. Is it literally just me? 🥺🙃

 

[NikkiCW]

Hi all, has anyone heard back after their AC?

 

[millierxse]

According to the Irwin Mitchell Careers Twitter account, all of the ACs finished last week so we should hear back shortly. Well done to everybody who did their AC, we should all be really proud of ourselves for getting this far regardless of the outcome. Hope we hear back soon!

 

[aileenpickles]

That's good news thanks Millie! Does anyone have any idea of the usual amount of people that get through to the next stage?

 

[lauren22]

Hi guys, sorry to ask but has anyone heard back about the AC yet? I'm refreshing my emails about once every 2 seconds!😂
