Same I don't even know what didn't work. Thought I had a good interviewNRF pfo post telephone interview 🥲
Nope, it is not necessary you have to show that you are interested in and understand the topic.Is it necessary to link the business story you're interested in to the firm you're applying to? I spoke with a trainee at DLA yesterday and they said I have to do this - but just wanted to check as the word count is very tight!
Some firms questions will explicitly ask for this, in which case yes. If it's not prompted by the question, I'd actually avoid it as then you're not really answering the question at hand in part of your answer.Is it necessary to link the business story you're interested in to the firm you're applying to?

Spring (attention to detail/social adaptability/ and something else I forgot) But got the same result for last cycle and passed in the previous so I was quite surprised!Was this for the summer or spring scheme?
And if you don’t mind me asking, what were your strengths in your report ?
Simmons got a PFO..last nightAnyone else still waiting post-VI for Simmons Winter?
Also anyone else who applied for Bird & Bird Spring and haven't heard back post-WG?
Mine took like 3 weeks I thinkHow long does bird & bird take to send the WG after application?
I completely understand that feeling, the main thing to remember is that it is not about how good you are. You could literally be the absolute best version of yourself and not get it purely because it isn't about you, it's about who you are up against. You can't control who the other applicants are so focus on being the best version of yourself.Simmons WVS PFO. Last year I trailed off in the middle of two answers in the VI and made it to AC. This year, I thought I did well but didn’t pass.
Honestly, I’m reaching the point where I cannot understand what GR is looking for. I have good relevant experiences, a decent education, follow all the advice here and generally out there, get my applications checked, but I’m not getting anywhere. There doesn’t really seem to be a technique to crack, now it just feels like a lottery.
Ugh sorry for the moaning!
It took me 3 days when I applied for the spring schemeHow long does bird & bird take to send the WG after application?
The more PFOs I get the more I appreciate the bonding of this forum and how supportive people are towards one another - which is very incredible given how cutthroat the competition is - keep up the good work people!I completely understand that feeling, the main thing to remember is that it is not about how good you are.

Try not to worry about things that are outside of your control. You control yourself, so be the best self that you can. Much easier said than done of course. We cant help but evaluate every little thing that we said, but not getting through doesn't mean that you aren't good enough, if that was the case then they wouldn't have wanted to meet you in the first place. It all builds resilience and just know that you are not alone in your thoughts, who knows what GR are actually looking for! Be your best self and you'll end up where you are meant to be, when you are meant to be there.
