Same here

Sorry to hear that. I'm pretty disappointed as I passed the test last year, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Same here, passed the test for two years straight and gave the exact same answers..I guess it is time to give up on Reeds

It feels so arbitrary at times - we've got to keep going, we only need one "yes"!

For those invited to CC's AC for the 2023 Training Contract, are you able to/have you booked an interview slot for the w/c 17 Jan? I was only able to book for w/c 10 Jan but would prefer booking in later (Though, I think 2024 and IGNITE may take place during the weeks after).

Does anyone have a list of strengths-based type of interview questions? Always get a bit confused as to how it differs from competency ones

 

[golden99]

They might! If you got rejected at the application stage, then they may check your old application against your new one to evaluate if you demonstrate some sort of progression, either in your grades, work ex or answers. The likelihood of this is probably low though.

Thanks for advice @George Maxwell @AvniD @Jessica Booker. Really useful!

Reed Smith PFO after SJT. I can't seem to pass the SJT for any firm. I've spent so much time on my application so it's really disheartening that something arbitrary like the SJT stops me from being looked at holistically. Does the SJT really mean anything anyway? Like, the values are always wrong for me and shouldn't I be able to learn on the job anyway?
