NRF PFO. It’s been over 2 years since I did a summer vacation scheme with Slaughter and May 😂 really hope this cycle finally brings some good news I am so used to reading ‘Further to your recent application, we are sorry…’
At Travers you either get an AC invitation or you are lost in the endless abyss, there is no middle ground
Cleary Winter VS AC - does anyone have any advice on how I should prep?
Was also wondering if anyone knows how long W&C takes to respond post VI? I did my VI last friday (5th November) but haven't heard anything since. Seems like the last of the ACs are next week (and some people have already done theirs) - so I don't know if I should think it is a rejection!

I applied ages ago, cannot even remember when (met the benchmark, nothing heard yet)
Would you advise include being a quarter finalist in the commercial awareness comp on a CV/application?
I was a finalist in a commercial awareness comp last year and I have usually included it on applications (and where I have included it, all interviewers have brought it up/asked about it/commented on it), so yes I would😁
Would love to know the answer to this question with regards to vacation schemes if anyone knows!! I know we can reapply for direct TC, but the FAQs say nothing about applying for another vac scheme :/
@Jessica Booker
On the Baker McKenzie form, candidates are asked to discuss "something - anything - that excites and inspires you" - would it be valid to answer this in a similar way to a "What motivates you" kind of question, and talk about how it excites me to go above and beyond what is expected of me in team activities (with an example of when I balanced multiple activities, and had enough time left over to help fellow authors of a research project on their own work)?
Moreover, is it necessary/preferable in a work experience section to explicitly discuss the skills we have gained from said experience?
Cheers!

I actually asked Baker's Grad Rec about that first question at their Open Day, and they said they get asked this a lot. They basically said they have no preference whatsoever about what people include, but to ensure it is engaging (ultimately, making them want to get to know more about you and invite you to interview). They said people have included all sorts of random things here in the past, just make sure to link bank to how it excites/inspires you. I personally think your example is a good one, but of course Jessica will know better!
Impatiently waiting for my Linklaters PFO 🤯😎
Same! I've requested a copy of my results because I wonder if I actually did or not lol.
I can’t access mine either. At the last stage they emailed my feedback after a couple of days, so I’m wondering if they will do the same this time
Hi guys, at HSF's Innovation Open Day today they said applications were non-rolling (so will not hear until after the deadline)!
Thank you, this is very surprising. Their website says it's rolling!
