[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 218267, member: 36777"] Hi [USER=39029]@berocca567[/USER] open days are very useful experiences generally both because they help improve your commercial awareness and knowledge of the legal market, and because they are at times highly-selective opportunities to mention in an application to impress a recruiter (even if at a different firm). That said, you will of course have to think carefully in the context of your circumstances to decide if this opportunity is worth the time investment. If I were in your position, I think I would first of all not necessarily conclude I have been rejected for the WVS, as firms sometimes have delays when progressing people through the stages for many reasons, and 2 weeks is not a very long wait period in the first place. Thus, it may be worth provisionally accepting and waiting to see the outcome of your VS application. If you are indeed rejected, and also end up concluding it will take too much of your time in a busy period, you can email graduate recruitment and apologise for not being able to attend as planned due to a change in circumstances. It is very unlikely this will have any negative impact on your future chances if you choose to reapply later. [/QUOTE]
