The CC grad rec website says SPARK decisions will be out by 7th January. Last year we heard on the very last day so probably still a week to go I’m afraid! Good luck all! Remember the pain of waiting well!

Ah, thank you! Did you attend last year’s scheme then? If so, do you have any tips/advice for the assessment centre?

thank you! :biggrin:

PS - why is this in the public sector forum ahah might be worth asking for it to be moved to the law careers forum - you'll get more people who have applied involved? @achieving ?

I don’t know how to change it... but congratulations on your (future) position!
Hi everyone, I have applied to the scheme as well and haven’t heard back!
Do you know if the 7th is like the final day they can tell us?

It is. It states on the CC website that "You'll be informed of whether you are invited to interview by the 23 December 2019 for those applying to a Training Contract or our Vacation Scheme and by 7 January 2020 for those applying to SPARK." - Hope this helps, and good luck!
Thank you so much! Good luck to you too, and to everyone else that is applying!
Right I’ve made a document with CC advice for interview that’s very long (almost 700 words) if anyone would be happy to read it and let me know if they think I’ve missed anything or if there’s anything else you would want to know or have included etc. then drop me a PM

Has anyone's application been updated in the Clifford Chance portal?

Not yet. I would guess that it only gets updated on there when the emails go out on Monday or Tuesday.

Also, please correct me if I am wrong @coffeeneeded27, but I think that the portal updates once you have received an email to say that you are successful, and allows you to pick a day for the assessment center.

Hope this helps!

Hi, my portal has been updated, but I have not received an email on the outcome yet. Should I be worried?
