So I just receive a telephone call and my heart skips a beat because I think it could be Taylor Wessing re an AC invite… ‘Hello, this is Jenny from Carphone Warehouse.’ I hate it out here.

Last night I dreamt that I attended an in person interview at a law firm and they asked me to sing a Coldplay song. I couldn’t recall any lyrics and they agreed that I could sing ‘Patience’ by Take That instead. Does anyone have a philosophical/metaphorical reading of this? 😂

I’ve made applications before where it’s possible to format the bullet points appropriately in the initial form but once it has been sent off, the formatting jams. Do you think this is understandable from a recruiter’s point of view?

It’s discourteous if they don’t respond. Makes you wonder whether they’ve even reviewed all applications.

I understand where you’re coming from, but what’s done is done, in my opinion. We all make mistakes and who would want to work at a firm that fails to accept this. Don’t fret 🙂

In my view, the worst thing you can do is message them. On the off chance they don’t notice, don’t draw their attention to it. If they did notice, I’m not sure what messaging them will change.

I wouldn’t email. Ultimately if they want you they’ll contact you. If they want you, don’t reduce your chances by annoying them. If they don’t want you, emailing them won’t change anything. I know it’s difficult but hold off.

Do Hogan Lovells not start to review TC applications until they’ve finished processing VS applications?

I think they’re processing the applications chronologically as everyone who has received a VI has applied in November or earlier. If you applied early, maybe it’s a bad sign. If you applied later (e.g December), they may just not have looked at your application yet.

I like to talk about my rejection at interview stage at the University of Cambridge. Ideally think of something factual that has a positive spin.
