Congrats on Mishcon!! When did you apply please?

This is my first application cycle as a career changer (from finance), so it's all pretty new to me. But am I right in thinking that firms send out ac invites in waves, to what are presumably the most desirable candidates first. If the places get filled from this then so be it, if they dont, they hand out ac invites to the next banding of candidates.

Or is this my imagination..

If you go into your profile you can see scores!!! Mines updated today with scores but no email lol

Any idea what the score is out of?

I believe they’re out of a total of 9 or 10 but don’t quote me lol

That makes sense. I believe COPFS does something similar. Each question is a score out of 3.

Hey guys, can I do the cool emoji thing for Akin Gump please? 😆

✅ - Received AC invite
👍 - No news post-WG
❌ - PFO post-WG

I completed the WG in mid December and well exceeded my expectations on the score but have heard nothing. 😕

Can I ask where you can see your score? I can’t find mine

In the exact same position !

It was a bit confusing, but once you login, go to the right side of the screen and there is a heading "Candidate Profile" and underneath a link to "Access my profile". Click on that and scroll down to basic profile information.

Don’t worry! I did my Wg in nov and only had my interview last week.

My basic profile information only says employee status/schedule nothing about a score but says it was updated today?

I completed WG on Friday and emailed them about my WG score but no email reply about my score.

Hi guys x has anyone still not heard anything from Linklaters for the Summer Vac Scheme? I think I saw some people get ACs so should I assume it's a PFO?

 

[Nemo_nana]

Linklaters Spring PFO

Sorry about the PFO 😞 may I ask if this was sent by email or via the portal ?

Sometimes firms do this, but it's not always the case.

Just emailed them.
