Sometimes, yes they do. Where you can try to use different examples but it is not an issue if you occasionally highlight something already mentioned on your application form.
Final stage interview PFO Kingsley Napley
Feel pretty relieved tbh

Has anyone heard back from Browne Jacobson? It’s getting so close to the AC dates now!
I'd appreciate any advice on this subject, and thank you in advance.
I've always tried to max out the work experience sections to their word count limit. So, if each work history section is capped at 300 words each, I'll try and write 200-300 words.
I'm not too sure why I've always done this. I think it's because so many people say to "use the word count".
However, I'm looking back on my past applications and wondering if I'm just waffling nonsense, essentially. Maybe this is part of the reason I've been going wrong all these years.
Would I be disadvantaging myself if I wrote short, succinct work experience sections (100 words each, for example)? Or, has this been common practice all along, and I've been doing it all wrong.

I've done both in the past and managed to get through to next stages. I don't think it matters how much you write as long as it's relevant - no point waffling if there is not much to say. But that's just my opinion!
Depends when you applied (e.g. friday at 7pm you won't get it till monday)
Unsure as to why as it is automatic but I think someone actually has to click send. It was like this when I applied for OC, i applied around 29th Dec (everybody off for xmas/NY) and only got the test invite a few days into January.
Maybe macfarlanes isn't like this, maybe it is.
I have. I actually saw on LinkedIn that someone accepted a TC around two months ago. I am assuming they're airing us as a PFO
I am answering a question about picking a news story and the, describing effect this has on the firm's clients and the opportunities it will provide for the law firm. Is it necessary to link this back to me at all or can/should I just stick to what the question asks?
@Jessica Booker I am guessing you will know how to approach this please!

The only link back to you should be why the story interests you and this should be kept pretty brief (no more than 1-2 sentences). You don’t need to describe anything you have done to build this interest, just a reference of where it stems from.
