    I can totally relate to your post. In my akin report, collaboration was my strength and amberjack is telling me I’m neither inclusive nor collaborative 🤣 honestly don’t know how test benchmarks are decided as each one of them seem contradictory in their feedback reports

    Can I use an example from my work experience which I wrote on my application form to answer a question that might come up during VI along the lines of ‘Describe a time when you needed to develop an unconventional approach to solve an existing problem.’ I’m worried this could lead to repetition...

    Looking for inspiration

    Hey, I am so sorry to hear you are in this position. I can tell you I was in your exact same shoes last cycle. I made applications to 12 firms (vs and tc) and did not get past application stage even once. This cycle, I got test invites from cms and akin making those two applications the only...

    I am too, however I applied on 7 January. cant even say with surety if they’re going to send anymore VI/test invites considering they’re rolling. It’s so difficult to even second guess the timelines of rolling deadlines. I’m just hoping we get to hear back with positive news soon or id much...

    Remember Akin’s grad rec team saying during the open day that if you’ve got the test invite that means you have passed the application stage, so congratulations 🙌

    Understand your point. Unfortunately, grad rec conveniently say for the large amount of apps they get, they can’t give individual feedback. But what confuses me is if they read every app they get before the deadline like they say on their website, how is it that they don’t note down points to...

    I’m in the same boat. Juggling applications with a full time job and spending a considerable amount of time on each application yet still keep getting rejected at the first stage (barring cms where I flopped the wg). Have absolutely no idea how these firms evaluate apps
