I don't understand Shoosmiths' criteria, I was unsuccessful for VS after the strength test stage, but got an email saying that since I've applied for TC as well, I will hear after screening. They say that I don't need to do the test if I've already done it, so does that mean they will consider me for TC based on the test that was unsuccessful for VS 🙃

    I’ve just had an email from shoosmiths about my tc application (just that they are processing it etc) but the grad recruitment advisor that the email was from works in a different office to the one I applied. Does this mean anything?

    No - it doesn’t mean anything.

    I just got the same email… I think it means they’ll look at the application first and then if they like it they’ll look at the test we did for the VS. But it is weird considering we didn’t get an offer after the same test. Do you know when they’ll be telling us if we got to the test stage for the direct TC?

    No idea about the date for the test but it does say shortly. Do you think you'll do the test again if the link allows you to reattempt?
