Official Vacation Scheme Thread 2015!!!

Also, would be great if people could actually provide constructive help on this thread rather than trying to absolutely crush other people's aspirations in the most rude and blunt manner.

You obviously don't know my CC Intelligent Aid scheme is CV blind in its entirety,...they have no idea about any of your grades. On the CC website all three of the trainees in their recruitment video for the year 2013/14 had 2.2's. I got nervous on my case study interview. I got three offer's and one reject. It was annoying, but I encouraged to apply again due to gaining the highest mark in the WG and my great feedback - something I am doing.

And actually I never made fun of that Oxford undergrad...he's now one of my best friends and the guy who put me in contact with Freshfields as he's their representative.

You really do have some anger issues!

Check out your story first. CC have a 2.1 minimum cut off in all their offer letters, otherwise the offer is revoked so that's absolute tosh as well. I have 2 friends there who have confirmed that, one of whom is in that particular video so that is utter rubbish as well.

Stop making stuff up and people might actually believe you. Three offers my a*se.

Haha you're literally too funny. Did they go through the Intelligent Aid competition? And were they graduates? Haha

You ring up Aasha Tikwoo (creator of the Intelligent Aid and graduate recruiter) and ask!

Oh and if you're talking and Jessica in that video, then yes. She got a first. The other two did not.

@Liarpoker sorry to hear that mate onto the next one though!! your turn will come

@both of the people who reported on the HSF test, thanks guys, I feel a lot less nervous to take it than I did before now, I am most certainly not looking for the answers, but I'm wondering how you approached the most/least effective things. ie is disturbing 'busy managers/colleagues' (seems to feature heavily in these questions) usually your least effective? and which do you choose as more effective out of 'explaining to customers you have to do this for security/policy reasons and proceeding' or 'agreeing to do it the way they want it this time so they have a good experience' ? see i would have thought it was important to stick to the justified security reasons, but hey if I was told by a manager it was fine to give people one-offs for good experiences I'd understand that and would do it lol.

Anyone heard from Baker & McKenzie post tests? If so, how long did it take to get a response? Thanks

Yeah of-course they did Sophie CC are full of trainees with 2.2s..... and I'd bet my hat that the Oxford undergrad you made fun of has a damn sight better chance of getting a TC than a 2.2 Essex grad.

And if that's the case and you've completed your undergrad and a postgrad degree, and a vac scheme at CC, then why don't you have a TC yet? Oh let me guess.....
