Pinsent PFO post AC

Now i would like to say I'm surprised based off of my performance from the in tray exercise but i have just read my feedback (which was delivered on amberjack not via a human) and i actually am surprised. I met every single one of their capabilities they were looking for "natural talent, strong potential" and only got "showed some strengths" for attention to detail.

Maybe i'm delusional but i do think that is a little unfair and annoying to give feedback via a generic amberjack assessment report. I took the day off of work, travelled into central London to not get feedback from a human. i understand there are others so they can't get through everyone but even scheduling a call in the future regarding feedback or making it tailored via amberjack. I dunno.

I am not going to dwell as i knew my in tray did mess me up but maybe not that much? The firm not having my adjustments set in stone from the beginning did play a part but at least fieldfisher can give a telephone feedback after a TI.

The beginning of my cycle downfall starts here 😭

I got a similar score for the AMberjack and I got a PFO without even making the AC, so not the only one.

They're actually alive :O haha congratulations, I hope you smash it

Ahaha thank you so much! The email was a pleasant surprise (emphasis on surprise, my spreadsheet had them down as an assumed PFO) 😭

Took them long enough haha - when is the AC for?

The AC is in the 2nd week of March! Hoping you guys hear back soon positively too

Yes I just got it this morning - I did the VI on the 22nd Jan if that's of any use!

Sorry to hear that. When did you sit them?

 

[lilymaylaw]

has anyone heard back from Slaughter, post interview?

For those waiting for Dentons I just had a call with GR and they said they take time to give people AC because they review applications in stages. So those waiting still be hopeful. Also once you’ve done the AC you hear back in a week

 

[pb15]

Cooley AC!! Any advice would be super appreciated

 

[hanz123]

Which office is this for if you don’t mind me asking?

+ Has anyone heard back from AG Leeds?

I haven't heard back post VI Leeds

 

[legallybrunette8]

Any updates on shoo smiths discover placement? I'm fairly sure we'll receive responses by the end of this week

if I remember correctly I think one of their emails said they’d get back to everyone on their outcome by the 28th of feb

 

[jooles]

Is it good or bad that I haven't heard back from Ropes yet?

Is it good or bad that I haven't heard back from Ropes yet?

If we make it to the end of day without a PFO, judging from previous years, good

Anyone heard from DWF London post-app for VS/Ethnic Minority Scheme?
