Vac Schemes 2011: Because when you're a lawyer it's never too early!

Didn't know you had the AC at Clyde too - good luck. Is it for a VS or TC? Mine is TC a few days before yours and they would be my first choice I think. Really want to know what their written case study will actually involve... Hope I don't mess it up. Really want to get to the partner stage as I think that interview could actually go well.

The GR at Slaughter's are still refusing to answer their phone... I've been calling every 15 minutes!

I might be wrong but it says a lot about the firm. They know how hard it is to get a VS or a TC interview and once they give it to you they fail to sufficiently manage the process. Not impressed much.
But, good luck, their work is really interesting.

To defend Slaughters, I called once and got hold of the right person instantly.

Just leave them a message and they'll get back to you as soon as possible.

do you need to swat up on the firm

I have done that already. I'm sure they are just busy but it isn't only me who is having no luck getting through... and I have been trying for 2 days now.

That's not really an eternity, is it?

They offered you an interview so I am sure they are keen to hear back from you.
Relax!

I just got through.
My interview is in April?!!

I should add, mine is for a TC, not summer scheme. But still. April.

Ring now, Eve! She's there!

Thanks, I already did Mine's been scheduled for Thursday this week.

Good luck!

Good luck to you too! Nice to know you already have schemes in the bag though.
Where else are you interviewing aside from Links

Thanks! I will try and remain positive Good luck with your interview!

Is anyone else waiting to hear back from Links?

I would just like to arrange it before Friday, so that I know where I stand.

i had the exact same problem - horrific.

any idea how long it takes to hear back from them post interview?

No idea, to be honest.... They seem to have got back to some people rather quickly while keeping some others in the loop for a little while longer. I'd say no more than a wee, though.

For a VS or TC? For a VS I don't know... it's getting quite close to the deadline but I'd say it's probably still worth a try. For a TC definitely not too late.
