Anyone heard for the Easter vac scheme?

I haven't heard back, but I'm expecting a long wait

 

[Etudierlaw2022]

Someone on student room said they've already gotten a rejection for the easter scheme, so unsure if they're sending them in batches or all in one go

ahhhh, I remember the people that applied for the winter scheme waiting for a very long time. I think even up until a week before the scheme.

Good luck for all applying. Slaughters is a great firm. If you do get on the scheme, make sure you don't get taken in by the graduate recruitment spiel. Make sure you could really see yourself working somewhere with a culture like Slaughters. If you do, then that's wonderful!
Another point to make, is that the firm will make a big play about how you should pick them over US/magic circle/more elite firms, because they do interesting work and have a better work life balance. Yes they do interesting work, but there are so many trainees you may not get to do anything on those cases. Secondly, the working hours are no better than other firms that pay £120/130/140k NQ.

As with all recruiting events. Take everything with a pinch of salt, and check out other options before making your decisions .

Still waiting I think they've forgotten us

 

[Etudierlaw2022]

Oops I didn't realise you had to be a penultimate undergrad to apply to slaughter's easter scheme... They encouraged me to apply for the direct tc, but I feel so silly for having made that mistake!

Anyone heard anything recently re direct TC? 🙃

 

[wl2001]

Anyone heard back for Summer VS post-interview?

Well done on your interview I am sure you smashed it. How did you find the interview and what sort of questions did they ask you?

anyone still waiting for Direct TC non-law?

They contacted my referees (applying for a VS). Does anyone know what this means?

Usually means you're successful! I did the VS interview last year and referees were never contacted, and I was unsuccessful, while they contacted the referees of my friend and she got it. Best of luck!

 

[futureTS2025hopeful]

do they only contact referees after an interview, or will they do it during the screening process as well?
