Russell Cooke VS Interview - does anyone have any tips???

 

[11dunnr]

Has anyone heard from CRS post-VI for Spring? I can't see anyone that has but it is getting quite close to the scheme dates!

@Jessica Booker Its been a few days since I was supposed to hear back post-AC. Would it be appropriate to call/ e-mail the firm and follow up regarding the outcome/ time-line of the outcome?

I personally would wait a week before chasing up as a minimum.

I have my W&C AC interview in 53 minutes and I’m kinda nervous but I’m trying to play it cool

No I haven’t heard back post VI either, has anyone heard back from Boodle Hatfield yet post app? I attended an in person interview for Wedlake Bell for their Summer London VS on Tuesday if that is useful to anyone.

Anyone else waiting to hear back from mishcon after VI? Does anyone know if they’re running any more ACs

Anyone heard from Travers since last interview batch? Should I expect PFO at this stage if I still didn't get an interview?

PFO is not a PFO until it is a PFO

In a CV-blind interview, is one supposed to avoid referring to their university's name or any identifiable characteristics when talking about themselves/ their experiences?

everything is blind I think, so they will just know your name and assess you on your performance at the interview alone

Emailed a firm's HR yesterday, one week after a final interview and they still haven't replied. What's strange is that I know there have already been mass PFOs sent out and the majority of the Vac scheme places have been filled. So what are they waiting for ???? And do you think it's leaning towards a rejection?

 

[Turnthisstupidfatratyellow]

has anyone still not heard anything from Stephenson harwood?

Wait have the people who put x they have heard ?

 

[Turnthisstupidfatratyellow]

Have people heard back with good news from Stephenson Harwood post case study?

 

[Turnthisstupidfatratyellow]

I think we'll hear next week if it's positive news

Wait is killing me

You only emailed yesterday.

HR are not able to immediately respond to most queries people have. You need to exercise patience in this situation - unfortunately, you are unlikely to be a priority.

Anyone not heard from BCLP post test for SVS? I haven’t heard anything

Thank you for the reality check
