AG rejection post VI, very upset about this one please send tissues to me
The only thing keeping me going is this forum tbh, I've been applying for the past two years...

I received a call on Friday from a firm offering a place on their VS, they said I should receive more details/it in email form at the beginning of this week. I still haven't received anything and was just wondering when it is appropriate to chase this up?

Starting to panic myself that it was almost a dream haha.

I’d wait until the end of the week. In my opinion it still is the beginning of the week!

 

[Jessica Booker]

After receiving an oral offer, how long can I expect to get the email confirmation?

Anything up to two weeks usually.

 

[p2bv]

has anyone completed the eversheds vi and can offer any advice?

Congratulations on your offer! May I ask when did you do your partner interview?

Just done my final partner interview, feel like I completely bombed all 3 of the scenario questions! My answers were sooo weak. And then the interviewer said 'and the next questions will be competancy based' and then I went and answered the first one with no personal example!!!!! Gutted as this was for THE firm

 

[gaininglaw]

If a firm said that I should hear back from an AC ‘within a week’ last monday shall i reach out or leave it a couple more days?

Random q, but on a vac scheme if you go out to lunch/coffee with a trainee/associate/partner of the firm, do they pay for it?
