Congratulations!! Can I ask when your portal updated?

Do we know if freshfields send WG in batches or is it a PFO if we don’t hear already?

I’m honestly not sure! My portal hasn’t even updated since the 5th (which is when I applied).

I wouldn’t read into that.. my portal was updated but I didn’t receive an invite

I think they sent them in batches last year so don’t worry

Heard nothing from Browne Jacobson since the tests - so looks like I may have missed out

When did you do the test and what location did you pick?

I did the tests on the 16th and my location was Birmingham- you?

16th too, Manchester. I have heard someone get invited to the telephone interview from Birmingham but not Manchester which is why I was hopeful. Honestly just want to know at this point so I can stop checking the portal every 15 mins

Yeah I saw - probably not good news for me! Good luck - hope we find out soon!

I had an email for a telelphone interview on Friday with interview spaces available to end of day Wed when I booked. My application was for Birmingham so possibly going by office since you received your invite Thurs for Exeter and mine was Friday for Birmingham?

Congrats! Can I ask when you did your test?

Hey, thanks. I did my test on the 16th. There were absolutely loads of spaces for phone interview when I booked though so they may not have gotten to you yet. Fingers crossed for you!

 

[sam970]

Thanks everyone - fingers crossed! Good luck with your phone interviews too!
