Hey, I had recently done a WG for bakers for summer scheme. But just got the email that I didn't sit for it and therefore they assume I'm not interested in continuing with my application.

I have emailed them back that I took it within the time. But feel so gutted, does that happen with candidates often? Do grad rec understand that there might be tech errors? @Jessica Booker

    Essentially be yourself! The interviewers are willing you to do well and there is a TC for everyone that applied as long as you are successful. Don’t panic.
    Take things logically and commercially and you should be fine. Be concise and clear in your writing. You are given 35 mins to read and prepare your letter and prepare for the case study element of the interview.
    Anything else feel free to PM me!
    If I may ask, do you have to send the written exercise to the interviewers after the 35 minutes? Is it a letter or an email? Thank you for your insight.

    I was just expecting a 'nice' interview from reading previous posts on here, etc about my skills and why Skadden. It sounded like it was very chilled. However, I found my interview to be quite commercial heavy. I guess it's my fault for not being prepared enough. We live and learn :)
    When did you submit your application? As I submitted mine on the 20th because I had COVID and just want to know if I have any chance of hearing back this week.
