Hi Jessica
I just checked it says the following;
Job Status: Active (Accepting Job Submissions) - it’s under the completed submissions section.
It’s been on this status for couple weeks now?

Hey, they started open days this week which may be why it's taking a while to review applications. They were encouraging applicants to still apply at the open day on Tuesday and I know someone who applied on the deadline who is now a trainee, so I wouldn't panic that they've already filled all the places!!

That’s fairly normal, but if you are worried give them a call next week.
To whom have you guys addressed the cover letter? Or would you just start the cover letter with "dear graduate recruitment team"? Thanks for any help
You don’t need to submit a cover letter (spoke to GR they said it’s not needed). Just the CV and business topic answer.
Thanks for your response!! I just thought it would increase my chances, hence, I wrote one.
If it helps I completed a firm’s Watson glazer (not DLA) in early October and was only offered a video interview in mid November

Their website says:
If your initial application is successful, you will be invited to complete the Watson Glaser critical thinking test
So I assume this means the application is screened beforehand.
Do you need to complete the Watson Glaser before the deadline? I have submitted my application but haven’t received an email to complete the Watson Glaser test.
Hi, I asked graduate recruitment and it seems you can still complete the wg test after the deadline, as long as you submitted your application before the deadline.
Hope that helps

do you know whether I have to stick to the characters or the word limit?
I had to reduce my word count of 250 as it exceeded the character limit of 1500 stated. However, when I tried to save it an alert stated the maximum character was 1600. I managed to cut it down to 1538 characters. Do you have any insight on whether I need to stick to the 1500 or 1600 character reference?

Sorry Judy only just seen this. I was slightly confused about this too but mine allowed me to save it all so I hope it hasn't cut any off! Think mine was about 244 words.
