    Has anyone else completed nrf’s games and found the report so weird? I got a lot to the right and a lot to the left and the rest in the middle, I read through the qualities and I think they are completely not who I am in real life! Shall I assume pfo rn? This is so absurd!
    yeah I was pretty confused from the report as well but its not a pfo until the rejection email comes thru

    I did it last week. a lot of mine were in the middle and only a select few were to the left or right. Some of the analysis they gave was weird tho.

    Honestly I think there's little value in these feedback reports from firms in general, but I do think the thing about "if you got right or left you just exhibit that quality a little differently from everyone else" was extra useless. Like, is that good? Is that bad? Definitely wouldn't assume PFO until they actually tell you to FO though.

    word, that 'quality a lil different from everyone else' jus reminded me of being told 'you're not different...youre jus a lil unique' 🤣 found no comfort with that phrasing

    Hogan Lovells rejection post-AC😭 I don’t know what’s wrong with me
    Despite my best efforts, it seems like I consistently struggle to advance past this particular stage in the recruitment process. Every time, I go in feeling prepared and come out thinking I've done okay, only to be met with disappointment.
    I can't help but feel a bit lost as to how I can improve or what it is that I'm missing.

    dumb and overdue question but when you guys email GR do you say Dear (First name) or Dear Ms (Surname)? Writing an email rn and feel like latter is sounding phoney but it’s what I wanted to use

    Is there a consistent theme to your feedback calls?

    Hi guys. Hope you’re all well! Does anybody have any tips for fact finding exercises. How would you phrase questions around current / past litigation and negative press in a professional manner? Thank you!
