same.... don’t know if they’d send ac invites out in batches though... since someone on this forum has alr received one... what do you think?

For the Jones Day cover letter do people usually put dear.. and then yours sincerely at the end? It says we do not need to address it to a person or include addresses but does this mean there is no dear graduate recruitment manager?

I received a VS a few days ago, and used 'Dear Sir/Madam' as my introduction to the cover letter. I don't think they're particularly concerned by the use of formalities (I personally don't believe any firm is really fussed). Hope this helps!

I'm not sure – I know they're running some ACs this week (19th) and some next – so fingers crossed for us!

For anyone who has applied to A&O, did you get an email with SJT pass/fail? If so, how long did it take? Thanks

I didn’t get a reply, it’s been 1,5 weeks

Thanks, I’m still waiting 5.5 hours later

Wow, have you contacted GR? Has your portal updated?

 

[Sally Ali]

They are doing ACs and have handed out VS offers already

Should I assume that if I haven't heard back following the AC at W&C that I've been unsuccessful?

There was a technical error at first, I got an email saying that I didn’t do the test. But GR confirmed that I did. The portal says that my application is under review, so who knows

Nah I was on the first day’s slot, they had dates to the end of the month

Ahh you've reassured me!

May I ask when you did your interview and when you heard back?

Also feel like I messed up my case study a little (time pressure meant there were a couple spelling mistakes). How did you find it?

I had my AC on Monday, and was told that I would hear by the end of the week.

Fingers crossed for us both! How did you find the case study?

You don't need to address it to Grad Rec don't worry

 

[mab299]

Yeah best of luck to you! It was alright I guess. Like you, I found it very time pressured. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's always hard to know how you've done with these things. Try not to think about it (if you can!).

Can I ask whether they ring or email to let you know? My phone is broken atm.

last year they sent both rejections and offers via email but not sure if this will continue this year

I haven't heard from W&C re. the winter vac scheme at all since applying, and that was in early October. Is it worth contacting them, or is it best to assume rejection and move on?

I also haven't heard from them, although applied in late October.
