Has anyone recieved the blended assessment from Simmons & Simmons yet? Not sure how quickly if should come considering it's automatic I believe?

Also, anyone figured out an easier way of replicating work experience/GDL grades on allhires from other apps or is copy and paste the only way?

I am not sure about work experience, but I linked GDL grades and it works fine

Anyone else getting this error from Simmons & Simmons when trying to send the app?

 

[seaweed.bond]

Does NRF send ArcticShores feedback/scores when we complete it?

Edit: we do lol I didn't see it in my inbox💀

Can I mention in the work experience section that a legal shadowing placement I was meant to be doing for one week was reduced to three days because I couldn't attend the whole week due to illness? @Jessica Booker

 

[Maddy]

In the work experience section. How do we write our Forage experience? Should we write like our normal work experience and say ' I answered to clients emails and reviewed NDAs'?

Why am I having so many issues today - did anyone who applied to Covington's Legal Horizon events (corp/disputes) have the Winter/Summer Vacation Scheme applications become unavailable to them? The only thing I can apply to is the Mentoring scheme... lol

This sometimes happens with App4law so email GR and they will fix it. It happened with me for 2 Birds last year and they added the create a new application box.

I personally wouldn't worry about including this detail - I would just focus on what you experienced and gained from the placement instead.

Has anyone heard from JD that applied on or after the 18th Sept?
