Those who have progressed to DLA Piper TI - how long after receiving the email about your application being considered for the next stage post-WG did you get your invite? Been a week for me (which I am aware isn't that long) but as I applied close to the deadline I am not too hopeful about...- whywhy88

Is 1 and a half pages alright for the cover letter for NRF? I am conscious that they didn't give any guidance on word count/how many sides of A4 and I don't want them to reject me cause its too long, but I genuinely don't know what I would cut to get it to 1 page 😂- whywhy88

In my cover letter, is it okay to refer to Norton Rose Fulbright in full once, and refer to them as NRF throughout the rest of the answer? Or is it better to just say the firm's full name every time?- whywhy88

I have received an email from DLA Piper saying they are ‘writing to confirm that your application is now under consideration for the next stage of our recruitment process, the first stage interview’. Does this mean I have met their benchmark for the WG? Or do they send an email that specifically...- whywhy88

How long does it generally take for DLA Piper to inform whether you’ve passed or failed the WG? Just got my feedback report and I can’t lie it’s not looking good 😭- whywhy88

I filled in the reasonable adjustment Microsoft forms for FF stage 2 test because I forgot that I’d already asked for adjustments on my initial application form. Should I still wait for grad rec to contact me before doing the test or should I do it anyway and hope that the adjustments I...- whywhy88
