Has anyone heard from Edwin Coe?

Nothing... I hope they are still reviewing apps but it sure feels like a long time

hey guys so I'm completing the WBD app and in the work exp section is says this:
"Please describe how your experience in this role matches the job you are applying for. Think about how the experience you've gained would help you be successful in performing your duties."

do I have to do something different to normal work exp sections?

Sorry it’s late but tbh I didn’t no I just think that their application was so tough anyway I just tweaked my experience slightly

this is very interesting!!!!! as someone that knows literally NOTHING about Farrers, what issues have the firm had in the past involving an ethical dilemma? yes I am only asking this because I'm nosey x

Long story very short: they were representing News International during the phone hacking scandal and apparently advised News International to hack the phones of opposing counsel.

Hi guys. If anyone has any tips for a DWF AC/ACs in general using top score I would really appreciate it. Never done one before so I’m really nervous 🙃

Irwin Mitchell AC for BLS!! This is my first ever AC, so if anyone has any insight/tips for ACs generally or Irwin in particular, I'd be super grateful

It clearly wasn't that much of a shocker since the Partner that represented them still appears to be there....

Reed Smith Spring VS offer! Turns out they'd been trying to contact me for a couple of days, they still had my old phone number despite me updating it lol

is anyone still waiting to hear from mofo after the 1st interview?

is anyone still waiting to hear from mofo after the 1st interview?

I know some people have actually received VS offers, so they must be getting back to people. Hopefully not long now

just did the WBD pymetrics test and I genuinely think that it's painted me very very inaccurately.

I think that tests like these, which are game based and a report is produced, are definitely not accurate - in a game, if I shoot someone, that doesn't mean I will shoot someone in real life! I think this is what is missing - people react differently in 'game' scenarios as they aren't real! The rewards are all virtual and so are the consequences - I can 100% say that I would react differently in real life :/
