I was offered a place over the phone - very out the blue!
Done. 100% rejections, 3 post-interview/AC. Think I can safely say that it's probably time to change career plans. :confused:

Don't give up! The fact you are getting interview and ac offers is an achievement in itself. Keep on working hard and working on interview tips and techniques.

If you haven't already sent the email, I'd say you applied for the vac scheme and completed a video interview and were wondering if it would be possible to receive an update on your application. You understand they must be inundated with applications but you wanted to enquire when you would receive an outcome. I wouldn't be really apologetic, I think with this game it's literally a case of que sera sera. I hope it's good news:smile:!
Anyone know how long DWF take to get back with an offer/rejection after video interviews for summer 2015 vac scheme?

White and Case offer!



Can I just ask if it was by e-mail or a call from a private number?

That's true. Do you know whether we're still in the running for 2017 though? From the last line of the email thanking us for our interest in the firm and wishing us all the best in the future, it sounds like a no. But then again the email just referenced the 2015/2016 TC applications.


A couple of days before the deadline, on the Wednesday. You?



Hey from what I know you are still considered for 2017 as the places for 2015/16 are only very limited?! I've got to do the video interview as well and was wondering whether you could give me any tips? Did they ask you particular commercial awareness questions or just generally something you've been following etc? Any advice will be appreciated

Would you be able to tell me if it was competency based/about the firm or did they ask commercial questions? Thanks



Hi is the DWF video interview competency based or more why DWF and commercial awareness? So nervous!

Thanks
Any tips for the Bird & Bird insight day?? :smile:
