Has anyone heard back from Gateley post VI?

 

[Alex02]

Does anyone have insights on the WFW AC? Is there no partner interview??

Is that for the summer vacation scheme or direct training contract.

Back from my Valentine's Weekend celebrations and want to join in with the Covington Sunday PFO jumpscare. If it makes anyone feel better, I also applied for a legal internship at Sephora that also rejected me on Sunday

Lmao I got the sephora rejection as well, on Valentine’s Day

I know some have had them and gotten vac scheme offers however I wouldn't be discouraged. I got the proofreading exercise so hopefully they'll respond soon (although idk their timeline post exercise).

Yea correct, I wouldn’t mention vac scheme because they’re looking for someone who can prolly commit long term and saying you’re gonna do a vac scheme with chances to convert and leave the full time job may hurt your chances.

You can also just say you’d like to start on “x date” (after your vac scheme) due to notice period or something!

I don’t think you need to but I’d fill in any info such as placement year, year abroad, scholarships or any other info which would benefit your application.
