mine says 'on hold' and is 77% with candidate review completed. Does anyone know what that means?

Mine is the same.
I remember someone saying that the % doesn't mean anything

Hi everyone, I've got a Reed Smith video interview invitation which has to be completed in 3 days. But I'm having a bad flu (possibly Covid related, awaiting PCR result) - and having quite a sore throat. Question: Is it likely that law firms would allow a reasonable adjustment in such a case? And if so, would they allow me to complete the video interview at a later date?

(I have emailed the Grad Recruitment about this issue - I'd just like to hear about others' opinions before receiving a reply tomorrow!)

If I applied to DLA in September and my application was downloaded in November, but I haven't got an AC invite (seeing as others have) should I assume PFO?

I interviewed with Slaughters and so did @AvniD so very happy to help on that front if you would like 👊

@hellovacschemes @jellybelly @machingkiubrian1234 @George Maxwell whoops sorry I didn't interview at Slaughters but I did draft a detailed post recently on ACs that I'm linking here- I hope it helps in your preparation!
