Haven't heard from IM since the VI which was an *experience* in itself so I'm not holding out

Same I fully bombed that 🤣 30 secs prep time is pointless imo - they might as well just give u zero prep time cos cant even think with that pressure to properly consider question and then get composed. at least what i felt.

Has anyone else not heard back from Ashurst post-test? Some people have got interviews already. I've heard nothing.

I got an email saying all decisions will be made by 16th at the latest, still waiting

 

[Legalitaly]

Any news from Cooley?

 

[Amehta1]

So...are we now assuming WC PFOs if we haven't heard back yet? (post-app)

I wouldn’t lose hope. I got the VI a couple days ago and I’ve seen people get it since as well. I would still hold out hope as I’ve not seen any ACs go out.

Hey, I heard back from Travers at the start of March last year and they call you if you have an interview. So you probs won’t hear back for a while

Just completed HL WG and tbh as always I did awful but I wanted to know what people would’ve put for this question as I was severely confused 😭 or maybe I’m stupid 🤔 (I’ve been rejected twice for HL this cycle VS and lift off)

Statement
"Professional development programmes must focus on both the organisation's goals and employees' individual career objectives."

Proposed assumption
“It is difficult for an employee to meet his or her individual career goals without the support of the organisation.”

Assumption made or Assumption not made

I put assumption made but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong 😕

Has anyone that's been rejected for the Freshfields workshop received a Watson Glaser invite? Kind of wish I didn't spend time preparing since they'd already rejected me once this cycle :/

Assumption not made imo. No mention of difficulty in the original statement.

l’ll say assumption not made. Taking the statement to be true, there’s nothing in the proposed assumption which talks about the purpose of having professional development programmes i.e why should they exist? Professional support can be offered in many different ways. I could be totally wrong but it would be interesting to note what others think

The best feeling is getting an email to say a deadline for tomorrow has been extended by a week… self-care night for me

Hey which firm is this?
