I have an interview at Simkins - they said I didn't need to prep anything and we would just go through my application, but does anyone have any previous experience with them and tips on things likely to come up?- littlecat

No, so I'm assuming I haven't got through to the next round, but I think they're contacting people through this week. Good luck!- littlecat

it sounds like we should expect to hear back from them by 16th at the latest, so imagine they'll be getting in touch with people this week for second stage.- littlecat

Has anyone heard back from Wiggin? The email response to applications is out of date and says we will hear back by 30 June 2022, but I assume as the first stage interviews are meant to be w/c 19th June we are hearing back before 30 June 2023.- littlecat

Were there only two questions in the Bristows VI this time? Panicking a bit that I may have pressed the wrong button.- littlecat

Does anyone have any tips for the Lewis Silkin VI? I remember doing one a few years ago and being quite thrown by the questions.- littlecat
