Anyone heard back from Eversheds post video Manchester or BLP post test Manchester?

I emailed BLP around October time and they said they weren't holding a vac scheme or recruiting for TCs in their Manchester office? :s-smilie:

It was definitely an option on the applications because I've only applied for tcs in Manchester x

That's really annoying! This is the reply I got from graduate recruitment..

"Please be advised that at the moment BLP does not accommodate Vacation Schemes or offer Training Contracts in Manchester. As you noted, we currently only offer UK Vacation Schemes and Training Contracts in our London Office."

Well that's a first. A PFO before even sending in an application!

It's a good job you've said that because I've just checked the application and it doesn't give options of offices!! So must be London then :frown:

Has anyone heard back from Pinsent Masons yet? I suspect that I'm about to get a PFO, as it has been a full week since they sent out the email saying that they were still screening applications.

I haven't heard anything either

Hi anyone have any tips for Eversheds AC? There is not much info online concerning the two written tests or group exercise. Any tips or ideas in order to prep would be much appreciated! :smile:

Hi do you know what office this is for? :smile:

I'm still waiting too - it's annoying as she said she'd email sometime this week to tell me whether I'll be invited to the AC or not, so the fact that I've heard nothing at all is just confusing. But yeah, I've been losing hope as the week has gone on :/

By the sound of things no news probably is still no news (not good or bad) but as you say it's hard to keep believing that as we get ever closer to the end of the week.

It's a shame as Browne Jacobson was my favourite firm that I applied to. Oh well, let me know if you hear anything back from them!

Yeah I got the same message, I'm not exactly hopeful for an invite to the second AC the week after as we've heard nothing so far so I guess that's game over from Browne Jacobson.

My take as well.
