hey all - I have just received a NRF telephone interview invite but when I click on the interview tab on my cvmailuk portal nothing appears - not quite sure how to book a slot. Anyone got any idea if this is a lag or what to expect?

I had the same problem, it took about 15/20 mins for the interview manager to update with timeslots so just keep checking back every 5 mins and they should load eventually!

Hi all,

On the "Results" section of the A&O vac scheme application, there's the following message:
For any qualifications you have yet to complete, please enter them here along with your expected result(s) or enter N/A if unknown.

Does this mean that, for instance, candidates who are just starting their third year at uni have to enter the third-year modules they've just started studying?

@Jessica Booker
I would assume this is for complete qualifications rather than individual modules.

Thanks so much for your reply! Just to follow up, with the question titled "Why do you want to become a commercial lawyer at A&O and what do you think are the key skills and qualities required for success? (250 words)", do you think the bold part is basically asking both "why commercial law" and "why A&O", whilst the italicised part is merely asking what skills/qualities A&O lawyers need (and not necessarily asking candidates to give examples of them having these very skills - although I suppose that's one way of linking the two parts of the question together)?

This is exactly how I infer the questions and the advice I give people in approaching this question.
