How did you find you interview? :smile:

Yeah I really enjoyed it actually - some of the questions were challenging but in a good way if that makes sense?

You?

I'm really sorry to hear, but I'm sure you'll have other firms knocking at your door before you know it!
If you don't mind, could you copy and paste the rejection email you received or pm it to me? Thanks!

We are still considering any outstanding applications for DWF Training Contracts and will be in touch once the deadlines have passed. If you have not yet applied for a Training Contract we hope that the outcome of your interview does not discourage you from making an application in the future.
Does anyone knows if they going to consider my application form for TC?

Has anyone had any experience attempting to change VS dates with a firm when you have already signed a contract?

Have a VS with Shearman and Sterling, but received an offer with Dentons today. If I changed the dates of my S and S scheme to their second summer intake I would be able to complete both, but unsure of how to approach S and S about it, or whether I even should!?

I think you should definitely try. Maybe just send them an email saying you understand it may be difficult, but you wondered if it was possible that they could move you onto their second summer intake? Worst they can say is no.

That's what I thought, probably worth a try at least.. Thanks!

Does anyone know if you're allowed a day off in a 2 week vac scheme? My graduation is in the middle of the second week of my vac scheme. Will it look bad even asking for a day off?

Might be a good idea to call them and find out if you need to make a fresh application or whether they just forward your current application which has passed the Video Interview stage to a Training Contract application. If it's the former, it'll be worth finding out if you need brand new answers to the questions as well. How did you find the interview though? What were the questions asked?
