Jones Day rejection just came through. Wasn't expecting much to come out of this one though tbh

 

[Helena]

Damn - did they do the reference check? Did you have interview?

Oh sorry I didn't make it clear that it was an application rejection. But this was my second cycle trying, after getting on their reserve list last year, so my chances were always slim to be reconsidered.

I'm sorry to hear that Hazal - keep going. Any news from HSF? Its tough waiting isn't it?

No worries. Just wasn't meant to be.

No news unfortunately and yeah definitely. Now to wait over the weekend

[Jai C.]

Are you able to apply for HSF training contract or not?

Wednesday

 

[Helena]

I think they are only recruiting from VS this time

 

[AJ]

NRF rejection ! ☹️

 

[J Malone]

Same NRF rejection!

 

[J Malone]

I wonder if I get a rejection if I did not get any email related to a video interview from Latham&Watkins

 

[yanerlim]

Same NRF rejection :’(

 

[Salma]

Awww sorry guys! NRF is a difficult one... keep your heads up

 

[gricole]

Jones Day rejection post interview. Didn’t really click with the firm when at the interview though. When it comes to the later stages of the application process I think it becomes less of are you good enough for a commercial solicitor and more of are you a fit for this particular firm.

Has anyone received a rejection from Linklaters? Or alternatively, has anyone been invited to an Assessment Centre post Watson Glaser?
