Training Contract Applications 2021

Anyone hear back from slaughters?

Hi everyone! Is anyone willing to give some pointers to a clueless grad that is likely to be the oldest person on this thread ? I graduated in 2017 and had no intention of ever becoming a solicitor. However, things have changed and I now think this is the route I want to go down. Unfortunately because of my obstinance during my degree, I never did any vac schemes, or any work experience at solicitors firms (although I have a paid job in one now). I feel like I am utterly lost and unsure of who can help! I can see some of the firms here in the NW you can apply for a TC and a vac scheme with them at the same time, so I will probably do that. I've been on Law Careers website to find TC deadlines for firms, but there is no way of searching by location, is there any other website where you can do a search by location? I have a child so cannot relocate or travel too far. I have made a telephone appt with my uni careers service for later in the week but unsure how helpful they will be. I also have a set period of a week or so around Christmas for me to complete all the applications because that's the only time my husband is off uni to look after the baby so I can focus on the applications. I figure I should make contact with one of my old uni tutors ASAP actually to ask them to be a reference for me on the apps? I guess I will have to make contact with work too, they won't like that very much, eek.

Just received an interview invite from Linklaters

Has anyone heard from CC yet?

PFO from A&O. Is it true that if you apply on the deadline date they wont even consider you because they are on a rolling basis?

It looks like Clifford Chance has begun sending out the AC invites; I've seen one person confirm they've been invited and many others say their applications have been updated on the website.

I haven't seen anyone say anything about that yet. However, judging by the amount of people who have had their application updated and the fact mines hasn't I assume I might be one of those people about to find out they've been rejected 😂

Are you sure this was for TC? The person I saw confirm an AC invite was for a Vac Scheme, and everyone else’s have been updated online but no email from CC.

Well, you are probably not alone then . Who told you that their applications were successful? Are they on TSR?

Yeah, I saw it on the VS post. I might be far too presumptious thinking no update = no invite, so I wouldn't read too far into it!

I've got a silly question - how is the update visible on the system? Is it the 'completed submission' that gets updated on the 'jobs website'?

Yeah, mine says "Updated - 9 January 2019"
