I just did Gateley.
Yeah, yesterday! I wouldn't worry too much cause they seem to be doing things in batches? Maybe hold out some hope as some are receiving rejections, and if you haven't, I'd take it as a good sign!! Best of luck X
amazing thanks!!
Hi , congratulations!!!
I can only see it as an attempt to warm up candidates. By asking an easy question but saying "this will be reviewed", people will put effort in, and by the time the real question comes they may be more focused and less nervous than if you told them "this is junk, nobody will watch it".
I know honestly they did it so quick it felt impossible to keep up. Thank you so so much genuinely, I really do pray the start sending more out cause honestly I know like max 4 people who have got it. Don't lose any hopeThank you. Yeah I'm hoping on it being given out in batches as that's what they have done so far. I think it's just because everything up to the TI has been so fast its been a bit stressful seeing everyone get AC offers and be left with silence. But truly wish you best of luck with the AC, I'm sure you'll smash it!!
just to add onto this, has anyone at all heard from W&C post-AC with offer or rejection?
Hi, received the interview invite on the 3rd of Feb, I applied very late tbh close to the deadline. I don't think theres any reason to be worried yet!
Was there any word count indication on that platform? I could not see my word count but I most probably went over 500 words (which was the number we should've aimed for)!!!
I ended up with around 700 words. Hopefully I don't get marked down for it!
how did u know how many words u wrote? i couldn't see a word count anywhere at all and didnt bother to spend time looking lol
Thank you!It is a pretty relaxed AC compared to others I have had. When you arrive be very proactive and get to know everyone because they might end up in your group. It's better to have already built that sort of rapport beforehand so it makes the group exercise less daunting! Written exercise was an email of a client enquiry about one of their practices. Make sure that you know about their strengths and key practice areas because you will 100% be tested upon this in both the written exercise and interview. In the group exercise we were given a topic to present on with key PESTLE factors to be considered. I did mine last year so I'm not sure if it has changed since but thats my general advice!
