Hey - when did hear back from SH?
M
If you're asking because I liked that post on the VS thread I did so accidentally! Still waiting to hear back too

Hi Jessica, I wanted to discuss my situation with someone with experience. I am in a difficult situation regarding TC applications as a candidate under graduate visa and would really appreciate some ideas on how I could strategize my applications. Thank you in advance

Hi there again!
I was wondering if you had heard back from W&C yet? I haven't yet and I'm just wondering if that means it's a rejection considering how long it's been since my AC.
Thanks!
C
Hi!

I still haven't and it's been about 5 weeks now. I would probably advise calling next week (that's my plan) if you're still waiting.

Hey! Hope you’re well - how did your Browne Jacobson telephone interview go?
B
Hey it was alright, it was a mix of competency, motivation and commercial questions. Hope yours goes well
M
Hey, I see from the forum thread that you’ve also had an invite from a Browne Jacobson TI and was wondering how you found it? I had mine today ☺️

Hey there, congrats on your FF TC offer. That is a massive achievement and great news. I am an international student, and a foreign-trained lawyer, who will soon start doing direct TC applications. Based on the competitive climate, I will need all the help I can gather. Please let me know if you'd want to connect and offer some guidance in that regard. Cheers.

Congrats on the AC with IM. When is it/How was it if you had it already?

Hello. Its on wednesday - so madly planning - what about you?
A
Oh I see, that’s interesting. I applied for Spring and Summer, so guessing at this stage I’ve probably not got the Spring one, but may still be considered for Summer? Tbh I have no idea. I’ve just emailed them asking for an update🤞🏻 Have you heard of anyone getting offers? So bizarre I haven’t yet. It’s good that they change the questions I think!

Hi! Any news from SH?
N
No, unfortunately not!
L
Same! I know 2 people that got PFO's so that could be a good sign!!! What questions did they ask u on ur VI? I got asked why Sh, why law, talk about a business model I like, talk about a time i worked with someone difficult on a team.

Hi! Any news from SH?

I haven’t heard anything yet! Giving it until the end of this week to allow for delays and then I’m either gonna email again or assume PFO, depending on whether others have heard!

Same. I know 2 people that got PFO's so that could be a good sign!! What questions did they ask u on ur VI? I got asked why Sh, why law, talk about a business model I like, talk about a time i worked with someone difficult on a team.

It’s good to hear that they are actually getting back to people though because I was debating when to call it a PFO without hearing back (bc I’ve seen they ghost people??)! Hopefully also a good sign! This is testing my memory…I think it was also why SH & why law, but I was asked about challenges/chages facing the legal industry/SH clients and then I don’t remember the “talk about a time” question!
L
Hi! Any news from SH?
M
Nothing yet! It's been radio silence from them for so long 💔
L
Same! But I know people who have already had PFO's so that could be good news? What questions did they ask u on ur VI? I got asked why Sh, why law, talk about a business model I like, and talk about a time I worked with someone difficult on a team.
M
Wait are you talking about the spring VS? I applied for summer and haven't had a VI or heard anything since I submitted my initial application lol
