Are you sure? I’ve applied to A&O in the past and they usually get back to you straight away stating if you’ve passed or not.I don't think they email people post-SJT
I know most firms get back to you post SJT- I know from experience with links, and from when I applied to HSF a couple years back but got rejected immediately after finishing the SJT. However, I don't think I've ever heard anything from A&O.Are you sure? I’ve applied to A&O in the past and they usually get back to you straight away stating if you’ve passed or not.
Also, have you logged into your portal? Usually it shows you if you got to the next stage or not.
Actually, now that you mention it, I received an email last year when I applied! This told me I'd passed the SJT.Are you sure? I’ve applied to A&O in the past and they usually get back to you straight away stating if you’ve passed or not.

It's untimed. If you mean in terms of the window to complete it after submission, I don't think there is a timeframe for the CAPP assessment but WG has to be within 5 days.How long do you have to do the assessment?
Thank you so much!It's untimed. If you mean in terms of the window to complete it after submission, I don't think there is a timeframe for the CAPP assessment but WG has to be within 5 days.
Two cycles ago, I applied to TS, got an interview for their VS, and I did the latter. If I recall correctly, it was a box type of answer(rather than submitting an attached cover letter), so I think Dear X is fine(certainly was in my case)Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows whether the cover letter for Travers Smith requires all the standard formalities (e.g., addresses at the top), or if it is okay to just launch into 'Dear X' and a sign off? Thank you in advance!
Yep it’s exactly that format - thank you for your answer!Two cycles ago, I applied to TS, got an interview for their VS, and I did the latter. If I recall correctly, it was a box type of answer(rather than submitting an attached cover letter), so I think Dear X is fine(certainly was in my case)
No worries, glad to help.Yep it’s exactly that format - thank you for your answer!
Lower case is fine!A follow-up question - do I capitalise 'the Firm' or just keep referring to it simply as 'the firm'?
Technically not a proper noun, so should be the firm.A follow-up question - do I capitalise 'the Firm' or just keep referring to it simply as 'the firm'?
Lower case of you are discussing something.Do I capitalise Non-Disclosure Agrements when discussing my experience reviewing them?
Hi, what were the other questions in the Ashurst VS application?This might be a silly question but with the Ashurst VS application, for the question about yourself, your skills, achievements etc (750 words) - should I also mention grades and specific work I did in those modules? Or is it just for co-curriculars etc? thanks!
Hey, I'm not sure if Jacob is still around on the forums but I'm also a future trainee at the firm so will attempt to answer! I answered these in prose and would generally always default to this as a personal preference. I think that @Jessica Booker has previously said that if a form allows bullets points, it would generally be acceptable to use them.Hey, on the supplementary questions in the Traver Smith application (after the cover letter), have you guys answered them in prose in bullet points. (There is an option of bullet points in the text box they provide)
The questions are:
- Please give details of your main extra-curricular activities and leisure interests.*
- Please give details of any positions of responsibility and achievements or awards at school, university or elsewhere*
@Jacob Miller I believe you're a future trainee at the firm so would be great to hear your take.
Yes - that’s my general advice.Hey, I'm not sure if Jacob is still around on the forums but I'm also a future trainee at the firm so will attempt to answer!
