Because they are trying to work out whether you will renege their VS offer or are likely to not accept a TC with them even if you are to join them on the vac scheme.
I read this report and feel like it doesn't really touch on the nuance of the situation. Even supposedly "clean" technologies employ climate damaging work. An example of this is the mining that is required to get the materials needed for EV batteries. In an ideal world, it would be great to have law firms avoid working with any companies damaging the environment. In reality, this would be very difficult to achieve and someone has to do the work in the end.
Did you specifically ask what you could improve on? This is what I used to do when I received an overly positive feedback call. It can be brutal, but ultimately led me to the information I needed to be succesful.
I should have done this more but it was my first feedback call so did not know what to expect really.
I’ve had this too a few times. Generally the vibe has been “you passed the threshold for an offer, but we didn’t have enough spaces to offer you”. I’d generally take it as a good thing. Also, I’d recommend really probing them for the reasons why they didn’t offer you - it might be something like “we weren’t certain that you were 100% committed to our firm”, but you could also learn something for the future too (even if you did only miss out by a mark or two).
It can often feel like that. Sometimes it comes down to small bits of feedback and also down to motivations - you can perform well, but if the firm doesn’t think they are quite right for you and what you want, it doesn’t matter how well you did.
I really am not sure - I think they said 'next few weeks' a few weeks ago so I guess so?? Idk but fingers crossed!!!
I was going to ask you the same thing 😂 😂 I really am not sure. I just checked my email and that message they sent us saying that they'd be in touch "in the next few weeks" was sent on 10th of March - a Friday. Maybe today is the day? lol
I actually hadn't emailed them - they sent that themselves, just saying something along the lines of "thank you for previously completing your VI" (I had done it a few weeks before) and "we're currently in the process of reviewing apps and we'll get back in the next few weeks". I think it should have been emailed to all applicants?
I assumed they sent it because they were busy with the vac schemers and hadn't looked at direct TC VIs yet
they take 10-12! are you going to the summer vac scheme? i am, we could chat about it if you want
