Has anyone received a PFO from CC yet?
Is anyone sure they send PFOs?

In their email, it says "you will be informed whether you are invited to the video interview stage on or before Friday 8th December 2023." From that, I'm interpreting it as they only let you know if you've been successful and don't issue PFOs (unless anyone's already had one)?

I think if we haven't heard by 5pm today, it's bad news, unfortunately.

It says "whether" rather than 'if' though which makes it seem like they will send PFOs

    I agree! I think if we don’t hear back by 5pm today, you just assume pfo and move on.
    I just want to say congratulations to all of us for clearing the WG :)
    That’s a big deal in itself.

    just received this - what does this mean? is this normal language for PFO?
    We have reviewed your application and we thought it was very strong. Unfortunately, we are unable to progress you to the next recruitment stage at this time. As we think your application has great potential, we would like to put your application status on hold for now and we will be in touch in the coming weeks about whether we can progress your application.
