Hoping for good news from Weil today

i thought they’re responding next week?

 

[helloj]

How certain is it Weil will get back to us today if we completed the VI by 5 Dec?

How certain is it Weil will get back to us today if we completed the VI by 5 Dec?

It would make sense if it was today but considering that the conformation said “we aim to get back to you within the next two weeks” it don’t think we can be 100% certain. Moreover since it looks like people completed VIs this week they might want to review all of them before progressing anyone… so don’t know is my answer😂

If I haven’t heard back from HFW yet should I consider it a rejection… I’ve seen people saying ACs start in 10 days lol

I haven't heard either- it's tricky with HFW because on the app confirmation email it says cos they r so busy they might not be able to send rejections!

I think most ppl who got AC invite on this forum applied really early, around late Oct or Nov? I applied around new year and haven't heard back yet.

In the same boat and also unsure

Hi, i got the long listed email on 10/01 and yesterday received a call inviting me to interview so about a week.

Oh wow, that’s quite a speedy turnaround. Keeping my fingers crossed! Did you get much choice for interview slots? Hopefully not getting ahead of myself but I have a 2 week holiday coming up very soon so hoping there’s some flexibility or option to do it remotely

I applied early November… I think I’ll just assume it’s a no ahaha

Hey, does anyone have any advice for AC written exercises that are based on reading a mix of deal information, contracts, and laws to answer questions? What kind of resources can I look for help? I would be grateful for any tips!

Dentons post test PFO 😢

 

[pepsicola96]

anyone know what kinda scores are needed for bakers online test?

got high verbal reasoning 9/9 and 7/9 on two sections but only got 4/9 and 3/9 on the other two.

 

[Kakaboo]

Yes. These kind of issues is why they add those type of opportunities at the end.

Thank you, I also feel my second answer was quite weak but my other three answers were strong do you think this will matter?

 

[ohnoselim]

mishcon?
withers after test?

Is the Ropes Gray psychometric test second stage before AC stage or something to take before an AC after AC has been secured? Thanks!

I don’t know but can I jump on your question and ask if anyone knows what the Ropes & Gray test is?

E.g. SJT, WG or Arctic Shores?

 

[MaxC7930]

Hey guys, anyone who did the Mills and Reeve online assessment, what were your feedback results I.e how many good traits to weak ones did you get?

I got an AC invite today and was curious.

Good applied verbal, mid applied numerical, getting things done = bad, collaboration = good, growth mindset = good, resilience = bad, client focus = good, commercial mindsnet = bad, problem solving = good. I was rejected

They offered a choice between two days, a monday or Tuesday. Not sure about the remote aspect, could well depend on the office and their availability. I applied for Chelmsford, a smaller office, so it could vary! As they call you rather than email you would be able to explain your situation and i’m sure they could accommodate.

Ok, that’s helpful. Good luck with your interview ☺️
