Has anyone heard back from MoFo after final interview?

Not heard yet, how did you find it/think it went?

Hi everyone — I’ve got my Hill Dickinson assessment centre coming up soon, and I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone who has already attended one this year.

If you’ve been through the assessment centre, I’d be so grateful for any insight into what the day was like, what to expect, and anything you wish you’d known beforehand.

Hope it went really well for all of you, and thanks so much in advance for any help.

Does Withers SJT have a recorded interview seg?? Just want to mentally prepare before I get stuck in

Have people who got the Winston VS offer gotten email offers already??? I got the call 1.5 weeks ago but still no email. No response to my follow up either. Any chance anyone else is in the same boat...?

Is anyone still waiting for Withers summer vac scheme post proofreading test or any stage prior?

Does anyone know what this means? I am applying for a DTC and haven't got a clue if it means a guaranteed interview (I meet the minimum criteria) or not, just wanted to double-check with anyone who might have insight:

As a member of the UK government's Disability Confident Scheme, we will offer an interview to applicants who meet the criteria of the scheme, and the minimum selection criteria for our roles. Do you have a disability and wish to opt into the scheme?

 

[AryanAgg]

My guess is this in regards to special arrangements to be made for you during the interview process.

Yes, I just wasn't sure if I should disclose my disability or not tbf but then I saw this and wasn't sure if I was being daft by not disclosing it or not.

Would still suggest to confirm with others though as im not too sure myself.

You can’t really know any firm’s minimum criteria. It doesn’t mean in terms of grades it will be how they mark applications/assessments. But yes it means that if you meet what they decide is the benchmark then you will progress to the next round even if you aren’t within the top %.

Wishing everyone good luck this week!

For the love of god has anyone heard from DWF Birmingham? Its been 3 months and NOTHING since the initial application!!

Just adding to this, has anyone heard for the london ethnic minority scheme post application?

It’s been too long now DWF…

Also does anyone know the dates to that scheme? Hopefully it’s not end June otherwise I’ve wasted my time as I’ve already accepted another vac scheme then
