To those who have written a Covington application this year, how did you approach the second question: 'Focusing on a particular practice group at the firm, what challenges and opportunities do you foresee over the next 12 months?'

Has anyone else just had complete radio silence from HSF? Expecting it to be a PFO now but my application has been under review since 3 December and I’ve heard nothing.

Sorry to hear that - when did you apply/complete the test if you don’t mind me asking? Even though they’re non-rolling so don’t really see how it should make a difference?!

Sounds like they might give out all the PFOs gradually then all AC offers like in a batch?

No biggie. Didn't want to work there anyway . I applied on the 24th of October. Got an email that I passed the benchmark shortly after.

I got a PFO mid December and applied end of November and reached benchmark of test so I reckon ur in for a shot if they have not replied yet

Is the Fieldfisher Diversity scheme test automatic or do they review apps first?

 

[manifestingtrainingcontract]

They probably will PFO some people if their WG was awful and invite more to do WG test?

They send WG in batches so you might be in the next one

I received my invitation an hour ago, with 25% extra time due to my chronic condition wooo

Ah that seems to be the case. Guess it’s just a case of waiting!

No

Thank you and sorry to hear about the PFO! It’s the waiting that kills me more than anything, like I’m not even expectant, but ugh, I’m waiting on about 8 firms post-app haha
