Those who have got the Vac Scheme with HFW (congrats btw!!), could you let me know how long it took them to get back to you and around what time they called you?

I did mine on Tuesday and I’m very anxious about it :)
Hi!
Did mine on the 28th and still haven’t heard :( form the forum I know that at least 2 people got offers so I honestly don’t know what’s going on 😂

Hi guys, hope you both get good news from HFW soon!

Would you mind letting me know when you applied?

My application was for all Spring failing that Summer VS.

They said "
If you have applied for a vacation scheme, we will be in touch in early February.

"

Sent 3 January
Proofreading task sent 30 January to be completed by 5 February. Completed 3 February.

If you check in allhires then it will show any emails sent by them.

I would suggest:
1) if you haven't heard from them then probably it's a no, but maybe summer VS they will hold some in reserve?
2) the proofreading task seems to be pass/fail - anyone who passed is going to the AC
Thanks so much for your detailed response, it was so so helpful!! Checked my allhires and got nothing so I’m going to assume PFO for their vac scheme, but fingers crossed for their TC!

Hi guys!

I'm just looking to double check something. I've been invited to Kennedys AC. They state that they have a strengths-based interview. Does that mean there will be NO motivational/commercial questions or that it will be mostly strengths-based but still have "why Kennedys", "why you" etc.

Could anyone that has completed the Kennedys AC in the past please reach out to me I have so many questions 😭 their AC seems so confusing
I am the same! mines on thursday - how are you prepping for the AC and interview?

@BreadandButter just curious as to why you have put ‘🤣’ under most of my comments and under comments of others over the past few hours.

Not sure what’s funny or amusing about people needing reasonable adjustments due to their neurodiversity or struggling with navigating the application cycle. Also I’m not sure what’s amusing about people receiving PFO’s and feeling upset about them. I don’t know how going to a comp state school and being a first gen uni student is funny or amusing either.

I wouldn’t normally say anything like this but I just find it really strange and insensitive. 🤨

    Sorry about this. They are upset that they have been warned about their behaviour in the forum (and sending very hostile messages to our moderator) and they're taking it out on community members. They have now been banned.
