Apparently not hahah

You’ll probably hear back next week as there are ACs running next week

 

[EJ]

Anyone else still waiting to hear?

Me, I’m a little confused because I applied through the Pathfinder Fast Track and I’m still yet to hear anything from them. It would be helpful if anyone could supply us with the Assessment Centre dates that are left.

What's the difference between Pathfinder and the direct application?

 

[EJ]

also, the next stage on the progress chart says that there should be a telephone interview? Does anyone know if they actually do this, because I haven't seen it mentioned in the thread?

I’m exempted from the Watson Glaser round - which makes it difficult to see how they’ll evaluate assessment centre attendees purely in terms of the CAPP assessment.

Ahh okay, that is confusing. I would imagine that means they will look at everyone's watson glacer first to see if they met the benchmark (passing you through automatically) and then go on to compare and assess the CAPP assessment?

That's probably what they're doing! Has anyone heard back with an interview offer this week or the last?

Has anyone ever gotten in touch with grad rec about something that is not the status of the application and did they come back to you (and how long did it take)?

I sent an email to Links' grad rec regarding a glitch in their application system and heard back the next day.

Ah thank you. Did you email grad recruitment or a specific person? I emailed the person I had spoken to previously yesterday, but not heard back yet. Maybe I have to give it a few days...

I had a friend over the winter that completed the first year scheme and, as you know, was told he would receive an interview for the VS. It took him WEEKS of emailing to get it sorted. At times he said he felt like he was talking to a brick wall.

They eventually offered him an interview in the new year (After the Winter VS had been completed...) by which point he had already accepted a TC with another firm.

Persistence is going to be key I think.

Thank you for the encouragement! Really appreciate it. I hope things are going well on your end

You can just submit three, I asked them to add another after submitting the form and they told me that it is actually limited.
