My CC 2023 TC app just updated again for the third time 😱😥😭

What stage are you at? Have you received the WG or the email stating you’ll hear back early this week?

 

[RoughWood]

Hi guys. Bit of a niche question but I feel so much more confident with a beard! Would most firms care if on a video interview I had a beard or is it a clean shaven only kind of deal?

I wouldn't worry about having a beard, in the view of diversity etc I am sure that there have been individuals with facial hair before. I would just ensure that it is tidy and groomed as opposed to the 'electrocution look' that my husband seems to favour with his beard!

 

[bibss]

Updated today?! That could be good news!!

Well, I just would like an answer either way 🙃

Sorry, forgot to specify it’s pre-WG. I got the ‘profile of interest’ email last Friday.

Applied to CC 2024 TC and it hasn't been updated since Nov 15. I got confirmation I have passed the WGT on Sept 27 so it's been a long wait for me! Anyone else on the same boat?

 

[Abgaal]

Omg same my CC portal has been updated today. And I also received the “your profile is of interest” chileeeee I am tired lool

 

[BM99]

Wait can anyone tell me about the CC application process? So if a candidate has a chance of being listed for an assessment day, it will show 'your profile is of interest' in the application portal?

I passed the WGT on 15 Oct so in the same boat but I think I'm correct in saying the deadline is midnight tonight so they should start reviewing after then? Also does anyone know if our WGT score is taken into account along with our application when progressing us to the AC?

 

[CorporateLaw101]

The only thing I've heard from Reed Smith so far is that my application is still under review and they'll be in touch closer to the app deadline, which is the 10th of December.

Thats strange! I applied 18th November, received the SJT 24th, VI invite 29th.

Still yet to receive an actual date or time for the interview though, judging by this forum neither has anyone else that passed SJT!

WG is purely pass/fail. If you pass, they’ll read your app. It doesn’t matter what your score is (source: CC website).

 

[Lawyered22]

Was the VI strictly scenario-based questions? That’s the impression I got from the email but just wanted to check

No they aren’t. The simulation builds a potential scenario wherein the type of question would be asked “casually” and then you answer

 

[Lawyered22]

does it involve motivational questions as well? I guess it does

Yes it does (Assuming everyone gets the exact same simulation q’s)

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

CC 2023 TC: Passed WG on Monday and app was updated yesterday :O

 

[Lawyered22]

Please answer this one question: are there motivational questions?

Yeah there are

 

[BM99]

May I ask what is the update shown in the portal?

 

[SLKEJRWOI97]

May I ask what is the update shown in the portal?

It just says "Completed... Updated: [date]" or something like that. No other information unfortunately

 

[GOI983]

Which office did you apply to and when did you submit your application?

London, and sometime in early November, however, I completed the WG on the 12th of November
