Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

[Alice G]

Hey sorry about the rejection ! I think there benchmark is quite high ! Can I just ask when you completed the WG I’m still waiting to hear back.. did you actually receive a rejection on a Saturday thought the weekend was a safe haven??

I have had a rejection on a Saturday from CMS post-VI, so sadly not although I was surprised myself! However, it does give you the opportunity and excuse to have a Saturday movie night/Netflix marathon with wine/beers or just an outright night out depending on your preferences!

Sadly it doesn't make the rejection hurt any less admittedly, but it does help to take your mind off things and build yourself back up!

Sorry to bother you again, but were there only 3 questions? I am always used to 5 or 6 questions during a video interview? Let me know when you have a minute

Hey! Yes there were only three questions and I think about 2 minutes to answer each!

Anyone not get a K&E VI invite yet? Gotta be a PFO I'm guessing.

Had a rejection on Thursday. I applied 30/12 if that is helpful! I don't want to get bogged down with portal updates as i do not know how HR systems work but my portal updated two days before my rejection. Not saying this means anything necessarily but just to give you as much info as possible

 

[Maral]

Sorry to hear that Alice! I also applied on the same day and have seen that some people have heard back. I'll have a look at the portal to see what it says, thank you

No worries at all! Best of luck and I went to one of their open days - if you need any help with DLA further I would be happy to share etc although they did not go into the AC process too much in truth

 

[J Malone]

I feel worried bc K&E still not inviting me in their VI!!!!

For people waiting on Skadden, someone on TSR has received an invitation to the open day/AC

Hi Sadi,

I received the rejection on Thursday, when did you complete the test? You should receive a response by next week, if you completed the WG this week for sure!

Ah okay thanks for replying ! How Long after you completed it did you hear back ? And i did it Wednesday night !

I got a response back within the next 4 working days - but do check your junk/spam mail as the email was found there.

Best of luck!

Nothing yet...
Not sure if no news is good news considering how many people have done the VI already :/
