Kennedys Training Contract 2023

I don't think I've ever cried so hard after a VI before so I'm also not holding out for much, but have some comfort in seeing others struggled a bit too.
Honestly, the worst VI ever - not helped by the fact that I did it during a particularly gloomy stormy afternoon so it was dark, next door's building works started up during my first question AND I didn't look at the camera once. And then there is the matter of those questions...
Hopefully they'll put us out of our misery soon.

Sorry to hear about your experience with the VI. Agreed - hopefully we will hear back soon.
If anybody hears back from Kennedys (via any channel), please share with the group. We'd appreciate your insight.
Honestly, the video interviews ive done that I thought went bad, I actually did well in and progressed. The ones where I thought I did good, I didn’t get through.
Obviously, I don’t know your circumstances, but let’s say I prepped to 100% max effort theoretically and only 60% of what I prepped came up, I’d be shooting myself in the foot thinking I did terrible as nearly half of it went to waste . But If I only prepped to 40% and 30% of that content came up, I’d feel much better about myself. However, obviously I actually performed a lot better in the first one?
So sometimes when we try hard and prep hard, our expectations are higher and we panic more internally (they don’t notice this though) as we’re not expecting any unexpected questions.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are the most popular days for offers & rejections
All the best guys - it's so hard to predict this. I know they said AC would start from 7th of March so hopefully we will hear soon. Good luck everyone
I just heard back from Kennedys, looks like they are sending out responses now - all the best 🙏🙏🙏
Yes got through it’s my first assessment centre! I still can’t believe it!!!
Congrats!!! Still no response for me so confirms my expectations of a PFO.
Best of luck, I really hope you get it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Recruiters say so. ^ Exhibit A above 😂 Fridays if anything are when rejections are sent because offers are sent on Thursdays 🤷🏻♀️
Offers are always sent first in case someone cancels or can’t make it, then they go to the next person on the list who would have been rejected. It would be awkward if they rejected someone and then had to email them back saying they had an offer after all because someone declined the offer.
Specifically offers & rejections are rarely sent out on Monday because there’s too many emails and things to catch up on from the weekend.
Tuesdays are popular because they’re quieter than Mondays. Thursdays are also popular because its a good time to send an offer before the weekend rolls around. Fridays are busy as they try to settle everything they need to by the weekend.
For similar reasons the most popular times for sending offers/rejections are 10-12 and then 5-7. Not sure who this useless info will help but since you asked there you go 😂
Ahhh okay, what a great observation. Thanks for this!
I did receive an AC offer (not from Kennedys) but another firm this Monday just gone, but ofc there are exceptions to the rule.
I see sometimes that people are usually kept on waiting lists etc and sometimes offers and rejections are sent out on the same day!
Don’t worry, ’m not trying to disprove your theory… I’m just trying to be hopeful that we make it to the AC!😂😂😂.
Best of luck
Ahahaha no worries it’s not my theory. Like I said heard this from a recruiter but doesn’t mean it’s always the case!
Congratulations!! That's amazing! Has anything updated on your application portal?
Just received my invite too!!! Good luck everyone
Congratulations on the invite! Can I ask when you did your VI? I submitted mine on 16th Feb so I'm hoping they are just making their way through and it's not the usual PFO.
