According to a post on the Eversheds Trainees twitter feed on Tuesday, interviewees should know the outcome of all face to face interviews by the end of next week, i.e. a week tomorrow.

I asked Eversheds Legal Trainees on Twitter. I am exactly the same, some people have had PFOs so the wait for us is horrendous.

Just a heads up there is no AC for the VS just a face to face interview so you'll just need to do more research if you get through. Fingers crossed you hear good news soon :smile:

Is there anyone else who still hasn't heard back from Cleary Gottlieb? I assume they've filled the vac schemes by now, but it would have been nice to at least be told it's a rejection...

Hey, do you mind me asking when you got an invite?

I got my invite around the 11th March and had my interview yesterday if that helps!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat - they've definitely filled their schemes but it's just a bit rude not to have sent anything. I mean, how long does it really take to write an email?

I'm thinking for those of us who have not received a rejection letter from cleary, perhaps its because we did not put a return address on the cover letter? Just occurred to me :s-smilie:

I put one on mine. Also I think on the online form where you submit your cover letter it asked for your address too... :s-smilie:

So have a quick question, I have been working at a new job for about a week and a half now but I have an AC coming up for a VS. With this new job it'll be unlikely that I will be able to attend the VS now or will be able to take the time off to attend the AC. What I want to know (as the firm I have an AC with is one of my favourite firms) will it ruin my chances when I apply for a TC that I was unable to attend the AC?

They do offer one day insight days which I would be interested in. I just don't know what the best thing to do would be? Would realllllyyyyy appreciate some guidance :smile:

Hey! I feel like I'm in a slightly similar situation as I'm studying in Asia so find it v difficult to attend ACs. After having spoken to firms, the majority seem to be really understanding if you have legitimate reasons not to be able to make the ACs so I don't think it will ruin your chances!
I would probably ring them (more personal) so that you can fully get your enthusiasm for the firm across and emphasis that not being able to attend is not a reflection of your interest ect.
They are definitely interested in you as a candidate if you've got to the AC stage, so suggesting alternatives (such as whether you could be considered for insight scheme if this is a possibility) could be a good course of action! :smile:

Good luck!
