Official Vacation Scheme Thread 2015!!!

Scroll to see replies

I completed mine on Tuesday. Seems ok, slightly surprised by the format but I thought some of the questions could have had multiple answers, depending on your personality. Hope it goes well for you. Was just interested to see what others thought.

Would you mind giving us an idea of the kind of things they asked? Also, how long did it take to complete? Thanks.

Depends how much you scrutinise your answers. I spent about an hour and a half in the end. It's nothing to be worried about, just questions about what you would do in certain situations and your personality.

is it legit to use the same application for a training contract as the vacation scheme one where you've gotten an interview and been rejected? especially where questions are exactly the same

Is anyone doing the taylor Vinters vac scheme 2015? The email from HR doesn't state we get paid. Does anyone know if we get paid/get some expenses? Or is it an unpaid vac scheme? Accomodation for 2 weeks will be so expensive!

It's unpaid, with no expenses covered. I asked to not be in the Cambridge office since that requires me paying for accommodation but I was put there for a week. So 5 nights in a B&B for me!

Could anyone inform me how an application for the Government Legal Service VS is made?
All I can find on the website is details of how to apply for a TC, but no links for a direct VS application.
