Slaughter & May Winter workshop

[Samantha]

Just checked my emails and I got an invitation on 22nd November 2019, so I assume you will hear back soon!

Thank you so much!

sounds good! did you apply?

No, I didn't - I just put in an application for a TC back in early October; yet to hear anything

I attended Slaughter and May's winter workshop last year and everyone who got on the workshop was guaranteed a training contract interview if they decided to apply.

Wow, that's pretty exciting! Except now it has exacerbated my anxiety haha! Hopefully, there will be more spaces this time round too since it's being conducted remotely.

I checked and last year there was two workshops not one like this year. So I really hope capacity has increased.

Ah my anxiety is running so high.

It may be the last day of rejections today, with the remaining candidates being successful. This is my opinion, so don't take my word for it!

I really hope so though. Cannot take much more of this.

I feel like nothing else will come out of today

 

[Samantha]

hope they wont reject us on the weekend

 

[RubySmithers]

I wouldn't expect any outcomes on the weekend, but that's me assuming. Fingers crossed that we hear good news next week!

Anyone else anxious about tomorrow? The anxiety is starting to kick in for me!

Hey guys - I posted something similar in one of the general chats but open days and workshops are often much more competitive than TC and vacation scheme applications. For workshops and open days, firms need to be selective because they are mindful they need to make them valuable and so need to confine numbers slightly to ensure this. Often firms will only run a couple of these open days a year so there really aren’t many places available. With TCs and vacation schemes firms have much more leeway to invite candidates to ACs because they can often run many of these in a week and some firms do two a day! So for those of you who didn't get a winter workshop place please try not to worry too much - reflect on your submissions, try to make them as good as they can be and it does not mean you will not progress to interview just because you didn't get the workshop place, as I say, these are incredibly competitive.
