    Hi @Jessica Booker I recently had an interview which I think went quite well, except one question about where the law firm should expand next. I listed a location in which the firm already had numerous offices. Do you think this would, on its own, be enough for a rejection? I feel quite...

    Norton Rose Fulbright Telephone Interview

    Ah, I put both. I don't currently have access to my landline, so I imagine they will ring my mobile when they can't reach me. I don't think there was an option for a preference. Oops! I might email GR tomorrow and tell them my preference. Thanks for the help :)

    Do we have to have submitted our application and the test by the 4th? Or just the application? And are applications reviewed as they come in, or all together after the deadline has passed?
