Is anyone still waiting for hear back from Slaughters? I've seen some people getting interviews and some getting PFOs. I feel quite worried ngl still hoping for the best tho!

Portal updated on 2nd Aug for the TC - no WG test though We love it (FF)

Also not heard anything from NRF either :/

Mine just updated today and didn’t get a WG - does that mean I should move on

Have you received a rejection yet? I guess no..believe it when you see it!

No idea. It’s just not a great sign. You decide based on how strong you think your app was.

I do think the person who said the portal updates once Grad Rec has viewed it is correct.

I checked my app a week ago (before my most recent date change on the portal) and I could still swap my personal statement. Now that button has gone and the date is two days ago.
(When I wasn’t online)

Nope

Can anyone who's doing the Latham VI confirm what they meant when they said the deadline was Friday 5 August midnight? Does that mean the deadline is tomorrow or is the deadline tonight? I'm extra confused because another email said the deadline is Friday (+01:00 GMT)

getting stressfully close to the ACs

getting stressfully close to the ACs

this might be a stupid question, but would they tell us if we're unsuccessful or would we just never hear from them again?

yeah the fact they say 'if your application is successful' is a bit nerve-wracking - would be so mean if they did that though haha

I would like a little bit of advice.

I have an interest in going into renewable energy/energy project financing. With some experience in the finance aspect of this from previous experience. Accordingly, when I learned of a one year FTC at Siemens Energy, working as an intern with legal counsel. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for me post PGDL, when it finishes at the end of the month; whilst I apply for training contracts.

On the bright network page there was no deadline when I looked, which I thought was rather odd (it just said rolling), I have drafted a cover letter, had ex-colleagues help finesse it. With it all ready to be sent off, I go to do just that to see that the deadline was on 1st August. However there was no mention of this on the Bright Network website.

Would it be worth reaching out to HR at Siemens Energy (for which I cannot find an email), or send an email to Bright Network.

Has anyone had success applying for a role like this (intern, in house) post deadline?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!Have you tried to go on the company LinkedIn page? You can loot at the "people" section and get in touch with member of the legal or hr teams.

Well, its funny you should say that haha! I have done this, but I dont pay for LinkedIn premium, so I have had to send personalised invites explaining the situation in a 200 character word count

[sxw517]

Hi guys,

Just completed the Hogan Lovells Watson Glaser - I'm sure it's fine but I didn't press submit at the end because I was going back and checking through my answers, and the screen froze. I then refreshed and it said the standard thanks for completing etc - just want to check if this had happened to anyone and whether it's worth double checking with GR?

I’ve emailed Penningtons Manches Cooper a few days ago and not had a response. The stress of waiting is sooo frustrating. It is my top choice - hoping for good news.
