Training Contracts 2015 - Let the Games Begin

Me too! I don't quite understand how a member of grad rec would be so rude as to just flat out tell you not to apply!

Basically it was a case of my (unique but impressive) profile wouldn't have stood a chance against the Oxbridge mob, which is fair enough. Saved me an application.

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!

I'm also waiting... Good luck! It's the first time I've ever done one of those tests and I wasn't sure it went that well.

Just had mine and felt it went well in some parts and not so good in others.

[MOD EDIT - Disclosure of specific interview information/questions is against TSR rules]

Not confident about it, but its not in my hands now. Best of luck to you anyway!

Ah, thank you! I wasn't expecting the telephone interview to be so comprehensive. I'm sure you done well, best wishes for it!

Gateley PFO

Macfarlanes PFO.

I really want to hear from Mishcon De Reya... anyone heard back? I'm not so sure I answered one question well, but a firm I'm genuinely interested in going forward.

It was my first time with that kind of test too. Wishing you all the best! I'll let you know when I hear anything from them.

I would also like to know this. I know that they have gotten back to some of their vac schemers, but what about us training contract applicants?

Nope they've been Penningtons level silent. I'm almost definitely in line for a PFO from them as well.

I admire the fact that the the term "Penningtons level silent" has been coined. About time really...

Olswang have just posted their retention rates - 54%. Worth noting that they took on trainees in only three departments: commercial, corporate and real estate.

Take comfort in the fact that it's better than Shoosmiths' 41%...shocking...

Has anyone had a eversheds face to face interview in Cardiff this week? I haven't heard back yet and know the AC is a week today so I am ridiculously impatient at the moment. This waiting game is awful

Hogan Lovells PFO.

Clyde & Co are my final application. Not looking too good tbh. :frown:

Reply 1417

usually silent

As I think people find them useful, I will attempt to start a surge of lists like yesterday with my, as yet, pretty useless one:

Ashurst - Not heard
Lewis Silkin - Not heard
Charles Russell (London )- Not heard
Penningtons (London ) - Not heard

Clyde & Co
White & Case
Ince & Co
Clifford Chance
Bird & Bird (currently being partner reviewed apparently)
Slaughter & May
Squire Sanders
Farrer & Co

Anyone heard anything from any of those?

Clyde & Co are silent. When did you hear from K&L if you don't mind me asking?
