    Is anyone looking for accommodation for their vac scheme in London this summer?

    I have 3 double bedrooms available in my place with easy access into the City. I am an Oxford postgrad and have completed a couple of vac schemes myself.

    Message me for more details if you're interested.

    Yep, got an e-mail on Friday.
    I wouldn't be worried, my friend had an interview at their B'ham office and only heard back two weeks later that she was successful!

    I'm still waiting on Pannone. I've been told that Clarion have not yet emailed successful candidates do ignore the 30th April deadline.

    I know some people have had offers, some PFOs but I haven't heard anything yet.

    Has anyone heard back from Bristows yet?

    I heard that they are yet to make their decisions from a Partner. He attended our final event for the marketplace business game yesterday. So you may still hear...

    That is for Clarion. Pannone replied to my email this morning saying that are currently considering applications for the June period and will then be moving on to consider the applications for the July period. She didn't give me any time scale though.

    That is so odd! I spoke to the graduate rec partner a while ago & she said there were no interviews & they decided on applications!

    Thanks for that info on Pannone. I applied for the July period so at least I can stop waiting on the edge of my seat for a reply for now!

    I didn't say that I had been interviewed by Clarion. I said that I had met a partner at an unrelated event and he confirmed that they were yet to make any decisions. This was confirmed in their email this morning.

    Oh sorry I interpreted 'marketplace business game' as an interview as lots of firms interview this way. Thanks!
