they replied really quickly for me. In the next working day. I assume they have a lot to go through, which is probably why they are taking awhile!

Invited for a telephone interview with NRF post-WG!

@Jessica Booker Jessica, do you have any idea what reason might be for not hearing back at all from NRF post TC application as it seems everyone either got a WG invite or a PFO? No update to my portal and no reply to my email - is this definitely a PFO? Thanks!
Got a telephone interview invite about half an hour ago!
I asked for mine too, I normally do ok on the WG so I am gutted to not reach the next stage! Good luck on your telephone interview, I’m sure you’ll smash it!!
Thank you so much! Yeah, sometimes my own scores are very hit and miss, so it can very much feel like a bit if luck. But best of luck to you too for the rest of your apps!
I’m the same, I got a PFO post WG and I normally do well on the WG. I guess it’s on to the next application now...

For my vac scheme app to SH, I was invited to the WG and interview before the deadline had passed so I would assume they are rolling!
I applied for Freshfields's direct TC and completed their Watson Glaser Test on the 21st Jan 2021. Has anyone heard back from them since? Any final interview invitations?
not sure if this is helpful but I literally got offered the WG today, I reckon that implies there's still a few more interview days to be had otherwise why ask me to do one, but who knows
Completed Freshfields WG in Feb 2nd(or 1st) , yet portal says updated at 29th Jan(when I first got the WG invite).
is it safe to assume they haven't got to reading my app yet(in conjunction with the WG score ofc
) & also, is anyone else in the same boat?

I think they might have mis-worded the email and they actually meant it would be a some point this week. But for all I know they could just be slow 🤷♂️. Either way I haven't heard a peep 😐
