Hi guys,

Is anyone having issues with submitting Frehsfields application? I am going nuts
i think u need to go to the freshfields training contract page..click apply itll take you directly to the applications bit. Sign in.. you should see ”submit draft ” in blue towards the right side of your app.. i know it sounds weird but i had the same issues last night when trying to submit my app without going from the tc page

How come?
It is just my personal feeling. It basically said “please can you refrain from contacting the Graduate recruitment about the progress of your training contract application”. It is just a feeling and maybe a lot of people contacted the team..but not me because I know that they are notoriously slow. But all good..I have to take it like a big person

My Freshfields app was sent in early june. When I logged in today on the portal, it said "Updated July 5". Is this meant to mean anything or is it a glitch? I did update my work exp and achivements/scholarships part, but I'm pretty sure I edited it after July 5 also.

Has anyone heard anything about Linklaters post WG? and also, if people don't mind saying, how did they do on the WG assessment?

Apparently they sent out a broadcast email saying that they will hold AC's in September, but clearly a lot of us didn't receive that email. I got 32/40 which put me in the 70th percentile, but this was about 3 weeks before the deadline and so my percentile could have gone up or down depending on how candidates after me performed.

They are probably just trying to manage expectations. Sometimes you have to be blunt to actually be helpful to everyone.
