Goodwin VS!!

I feel like a proud parent! I am so happy for you, and I am sure you motivated many of us with this message

Anyone heard back from NRF? I know some people have got a VI but other than that any updates? Or has anyone received a rejection? - still waiting to hear from them but not confident considering others have received a VI

I've heard nothing and scored similar to others who have, I think they're just spacing it out, so not over to its over I guess

Hey, I just got a standard rejection email nearly 5 weeks after my Milbank AC and they’re refusing to provide individual feedback (which I think is ridiculous given the AC was nearly 6 hrs long and we completed 4 exercises). I don’t want to ask for a Subject Access Request straight away - how can i ask for feedback and mention the SAR without seeming too bothersome? Thank you

Would also like to know. Think it's absolutely ridiculous that we did all those exercises, took time off work and travelled to the AC (which cost a fair chunk for me) to not even be given checkbox feedback. Will not be reapplying.

Hey, guys I just have one question, I did apply to Baker McKenzie for Summer VC and received PFO. My question is can I apply for this firm's direct training contract application even if I have been rejected for their summer vc?

 

[haydararikci]

At what stage were you rejected?

I have got rejected summer vc in the first stage cv screening

Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from NRF on whether they are through to the telephone interview?

Edging is an insane descriptor especially with the name Hill Dickinson No pun intended?

Thank you for all the helpful messages I'm receiving on the grades v extra-curriculars debate.

@axelbeugre @Jessica Booker I'm interested please to hear your thoughts on this too please? Would I be disadvantaged if I talk about my role of responsibility as something I completed in the past?

I personally do not think you would be at all, as long as you manage to describe your experiences and the relevance of the skills you developed through them!

For anyone waiting for a response from CRS post-app, there's still hope

 

[bangarangbass39]

Yanno, since its 6 years and all...

think we could do an "anniversary discount" on that premium just like a one-time thing yanno? For the celebrations of course!

 

[Zaakir]

@axelbeugre , do you know whether Goodwin send out offers in batches or all at once for their vacation schemes?

 

[bangarangbass39]

"and YOU get a discount!"

 

[addy2004]

No - this won’t be a problem. It’s fairly common for people to step back from responsibilities in their final year.

I personally do not think you would be at all, as long as you manage to describe your experiences and the relevance of the skills you developed through them!

Thank you both!

Have removed it - I think it was slowing down the forum too much!

Haha sure, what price makes it reasonable?
