That’s a W!! They take so little people I heard around 5 per an office so the fact you got reserve you’re probably in the top 10 of applicants for the office you chose out of hundreds 🫢

Shoosmiths reserve list for vac scheme and TC AC last year, never had any spaces. This year flat out rejection, great! 😅

Guessing an imminent PFO from Shoosmiths then. That concludes my first cycle onto the next I guess :/

Wait so they say in the email that they will not consider you for the TC AC? 💀

told them a few days ago i couldnt attend the placement if i was successful so had to withdraw it, but they said they would review my app for a TC. today they gave me the rejection after "reviewing my application for both the placement and training contract."

oh well! i never had hope for the TC anyway so onto the next

Got a reply from Shoosmiths for the discover placement. The email said that they want me to stay engaged with Shoosmiths as they see potential in me. Does this mean I might be invited to the AC, or is this a general thing they say to all applicants?

For those who have heard back from Shoosmiths, what were your top strengths, and weakest, in the assessment?
