Same, but on the message setting out the timelines after the SJT it say we will hear back on the 28th so I believe today is the deadline and did it just in case.

@Legal seeker Hi! Have you heard from KN since you did the SJT? Thank you.

 

[W5690]

For Kingsley Napley’s SJT - is the deadline tonight or tomorrow. I have 2 emails and each has a different deadline, one tonight and one on Tuesday.

@l.m.g. Hi! Have you heard from KN since you did the SJT? Thanks.

Hey guys, how do you cope with application burnout? I have 6 waiting — and I plan to do around 10 more, but starting the process over and over again feels taxing at times.

I can totally relate to this.... I have one more application to do and trust me I have been taking it incredibly slow :/
Honestly, I don't know if there is a way to cope with this. But what worked out for me was to take a 3 month long break last year before the cycle began. However, not everyone would recommend this...

Hi Guys,

Been doing my first cycle of training contracts this year. I got to the online assessment for Brabners and Kingsley Napley but didn't progress to the third stage from there. Can someone let me know how they found them if they applied, especially for KN as was particularly disappointed by that. Literally have no idea how to improve when no feedback was given and actually felt like I did quite well on it. Or has anyone got any tips on the online assessments and VI cos seem to not be doing too well at this point. Thanks!

Withers proofreading assessment! Completed the sjt on the 15th so don’t give up if you haven’t heard back straight away!

Hi sorry, can I just ask when did you hear back from KN?
