I did a vac scheme at Farrers and interviewed last week - they did say that they hold the vac schemer interviews first though. Nothing from Withers or Harbottle & Lewis.

Hey, thanks for letting me know - hopefully no news is good news!


Lewis Silkin have made at least 1 TC offer (not to me lol). But I reckon they might be staggering offers. Good luck :smile:

To hopefully make everyone feel a bit better, I have applied to 21 firms, got 17 PFOs, haven't heard back from 3 and have 1 interview on Friday. I get the impression this is just really, really hard...



Sorry to hear about your PFOs but well done on the interview! Remember it only takes one...

PFO's from TLT and BS. Got an AC with Osborne Clarke on Monday - has anyone got any tips/experience on the day?

Also has anyone heard from goodman derrick yet?

Nothing from Goodman Derrick, neither has my friend.

Also just had a cruise through my emails and apparently I completed but never actually sent the TLT application. Good one from me.
I have an upcoming interview with Slaughter and May.

Applied about ten days before the deadline and was asked to complete tests and then interview about two days after deadline.

Well done on Irwin Mitchell and Addleshaw. If you don't mind my asking, when did you apply to Irwin Mitchell? I applied to Sheffield, had my telephone interview at the end of July and have heard nothing since. They said they did ACs through September too, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.

How was the AC anyway?
Invited to interviews at Olswang and Sheridans, applied pretty close to the deadlines.

Shout out to all the h8ers.

Cheers, pretty shocked, aha! Definitely attributing this to divine intervention 'cos there's no logical explanation for this!
Is anyone else here waiting for the results of the CRT for GLS? It says on the site results should be out by 8pm today. (Although I know the deadline to take it this morning hasn't passed yet!)
Good luck to everyone waiting to hear!
Applied to one firm, had phone interview. Went pretty well I think.

I like to live dangerously.
