Has anyone NOT got the Mishcon holding email yet?

 

[kmo20]

Really sorry about this! Was this for the TC and if so, when did you do your test?

Hi, it was for the summer vacation scheme

 

[kmo20]

Does anyone know when Linklaters will respond for the summer VS, and if I should assume a pfo if I haven’t heard by now?

Hello, @Jessica Booker If you know you can’t do the summer vacation scheme that you applied for at a firm and you are waiting to hear back from the video interview - would it be worth emailing to see if you can be considered for their Spring scheme instead? Should I wait to see if I actually pass the VI stage or is it better to do it sooner rather than later? Any advice on this would be really appreciated. Thank you!!

Nothing for me from Ropes. A good sign hopefully???

To those that applied to Travers Smith last cycle, was the interview in person or online?

Have you heard back?

 

[Zaakir]

I have an interview in March for direct TC.

I think the interview is in 2 stages now😫 one now, one in May

Has anyone previously had an interview with Wedlake Bell? Can't find any info about past experiences online, and would appreciate some insight into what their 'general interview' and 'skills assessment' entail. Thank you!

Has anyone NOT got the Mishcon holding email yet?

I haven't!

Does anyone know if not getting the holding email = pfo coming?

Sorry to hear this. When did you both apply?

 

[BlessingA]

AC for Pinsent! If anyone has any tips or resources that they used to prepare for things like the in-tray and the case study, it would be really appreciated!

 

[Heartofglass]

Sorry to hear this. When did you both apply?

I applied on 19th jan

 

[myarkaur]

HI, has anyone heard back from TS post-app?

 

[FKJJ]

Is anyone still waiting for Goodwin Procter after the application?

 

[beeric]

hello everyone! Does anyone know what to expect from Debevoise Open Day?

 

[jas1502]

AC for McDermott Will & Emery!

 

[laby201]

I haven't!

Does anyone know if not getting the holding email = pfo coming?

From what I can tell, it seems to just be received from the date you submitted it. I think it’s automated and not something to read into at all.

They gave an article to summarise and then asked a few questions. Definitely one of the more relaxed interviews I have attended.
