Isn't Travers Summer Vac Scheme not rolling? They stated on their website that interviews are only offered once all applications are processed

In that case I might be in with a chance!! Just was wondering if it would be wasted effort at this point if offers have been made, but if not, thats great news !

Don't think this is accurate. The Grad Rec manager emailed saying no apps are being reviewed until after deadline.

Ah that seems challenging, Would @Jessica Booker have any insights on how to approach the second part of the question? Thanks in advance!

I don’t know much about the firm, so can’t advise on this unfortunately.

Hi,
I wanted to ask if would it be risky to discuss tokenisation of real estate market as an opportunity for organisations operating in the real estate sector. I understand that it is not mainstream yet and it is not regulated in the UK right now. I feel like a lot of people will be discussing topics such the current economic downturn and ESG in their application. I want to pick a topic that is unique and interesting. I came across an article on this topic on the law firm's page that I am applying to.

Hey guys, has anyone ever successfully managed to convince graduate recruitment to switch a VS interview into a direct TC interview if (for example) you have already accepted an offer for another VS at the same as the firm you have an AC for?

Does anyone receive this message from EY?

Unfortunately we don’t have a role for you at the moment and, with regret, we need to withdraw your application. However, we’ve spent a lot of time reviewing your application and you do have positive results so far. We would like to keep your application, and if anything changes we will invite you to resume your application from where you left off.

As you had positive results so far in the process, we will add you to a talent pool and if any other suitable opportunities come up we will reach out to you to see if you are interested.

yes got the same exact message last night, not sure if that means we are kept on hold?

Hey everyone - I am due to take the "online assessments" for the EY training contract / vac scheme - I would appreciate any guidance on how to prepare and what this test consists of!

 

[axbg]

can you apply to the EY training contract if you are a non-law student?
