Nope, I strongly doubt any of us will hear back today, but you never know! Stay close to your phones

Can anyone help me understand the difference between the deductions and interpretations part of the WG? I'm struggling to grasp how they are different and the different approach I need to take.

From what I understood this year they've decided to call everyone regardless of your outcome

I mean the email did say "expected to be sent out from February" so maybe they've finished reviewing most applications already.

"Successful applicants will be invited to complete the Watson Glaser Test, with invitations expected to be sent out from FEBRUARY ONWARDS"- meaning after feb 1st?

Yes but for me the word "expected" means it's flexible and it could be earlier. I mean we are only 2 days away from February. Hopefully we hear back with good news tho.

Has anyone heard back about the Clyde & Co Bristol Training Contract. I did the VI assessment back in September and I haven't heard anything since.

 

[Jessica Booker]

Separately, guys, are the K&S TC apps reviewed on a rolling basis?
Also, does anyone know what they expect as an accompanying email when sending the application? @Jessica Booker

I don’t know the details of the accompanying email unfortunately.

@Jessica Booker
what does it mean when you apply to a firm and you are repeatedly being searched by people from that firm on LinkedIn? At first, I thought it may be a coincidence but this has happened for 3 weeks running now. Should I be worried?

What type of people - recruiters or fee earners?
