Travers Smith VS!!! After my interview yesterday which I thought went horribly and was so difficult.

Thank you to everyone who gave me words of advice for it!!

Wanted to give a shoutout to @James Carrabino and @AvniD for doing a really great webinar. \Really great advice and really inspiring to hear about the direct TC route I never thought the direct TC route was as easy as you made it as most people go down the VS route.

Also well done on doing the webinar as it must have been hard for both of you and being nervous doing a webinar and you lot did a good job please can you both do another webinar together but maybe on assessment centres as your advice was so helpful and so inspiring.

Has anyone heard from Cooley post AC?

Nope! They said today at the latest so 😬

 

[Legalmel_99]

Gateley Vs! 🎉Also just wanted to say thank you to the people that offered advice very much appreciated it ❤️ I will definitely give back where I can as I try to anyways this profession is hard enough 😅helping each other is harmless 😀nothing worse than been ignored!

Thank you for you kind words, Asil! So glad that you found the webinar useful. @James Carrabino and I loved the experience of our first webinar and hopefully we'll able to put more of them together for you all once we're done with our exams!

[hungry_for_TC]

Scared to ask but any Cooley offers?

[hungry_for_TC]

Anyone know the dates of Cooley’s vac scheme this summer?

did you get a reply to this??

 

[Ambs123]

Anyone heard from Trowers?

No and it’s seriously killing me!

 

[lawstress]

For a written exercise that's being monitored by Microsoft Teams, should I wear a suit/tie?

 

[ssolicitorz]

Is the Hill Dickinson written exercise the last stage before being offered a spot on the vacation scheme?

 

[Jessica Booker]

I dont think you need to wear a suit or tie - I would wear a buttoned up shirt you would wear with a suit though. That will be sufficient.

 

[Han.louise]

Does anyone have any advice on what to do if you have been given a vac scheme but the dates conflict with another? Should i ask to be considered for a direct TC as I can only do one week of the vac scheme.
