GLS / GLP Legal Trainee Scheme 2022

Apparently the nightmare continues tomorrow - it's getting earlier and earlier...

I have it on authority that this is the last time the SJT-VRT-CRT-VIV-Interview process will be used.

The good news is that they will from next year be putting in place a new diversity-friendly process that will not include the bonkers tests that unwittingly screen out minority and disabled candidates at a stroke.

The bad news is that the GLD has enlisted PoopleScoop to design and run it, so chaos and incompetence will likely undo any forward-thinking steps...

Plus ça change...!

Good luck all - we'll need it!

Come on, now - be fair. At least wait until they drop their first immense howler.

....which should be any moment now if we're now on day 1! :-)

Is anyone else having trouble with the application form? There’s no save button and it logged me out before I’d finished, so now I have to start all over again!!

It was okay for me, but I also wish there was a save button. You have to do it all at once and I would say try not to take more than 15 min filling it just in case

Had exactly the same issue. I think there might be a 20-minute time limit, and then you lose the lot.

I've e-mailed in twu-e to query it, but - as expected - I have not received any response.

Still, that's got to be better than an incorrect response, so perhaps things are looking up at GovTrainees!!!
