can you check the status of your application by logging back into your application? If so do that rather than contact them. If not, then contact them maybe next week/or the week after.

Hi Jessica

I just checked it says the following;

Job Status: Active (Accepting Job Submissions) - it’s under the completed submissions section.

It’s been on this status for couple weeks now?

Hey, they started open days this week which may be why it's taking a while to review applications. They were encouraging applicants to still apply at the open day on Tuesday and I know someone who applied on the deadline who is now a trainee, so I wouldn't panic that they've already filled all the places!!

That’s fairly normal, but if you are worried give them a call next week.

    Is the DLA Piper Watson Glaser test automated?
    Or do they pre-screen your app and only if you are successful at application stage you are sent the Watson Glaser?

    Their website says:
    If your initial application is successful, you will be invited to complete the Watson Glaser critical thinking test

    So I assume this means the application is screened beforehand.

    Do you need to complete the Watson Glaser before the deadline? I have submitted my application but haven’t received an email to complete the Watson Glaser test.
    Hi, I asked graduate recruitment and it seems you can still complete the wg test after the deadline, as long as you submitted your application before the deadline.

    Hope that helps :)

    Hi Flora,

    do you know whether I have to stick to the characters or the word limit?
    I had to reduce my word count of 250 as it exceeded the character limit of 1500 stated. However, when I tried to save it an alert stated the maximum character was 1600. I managed to cut it down to 1538 characters. Do you have any insight on whether I need to stick to the 1500 or 1600 character reference?

    Judy :)

    Sorry Judy only just seen this. I was slightly confused about this too but mine allowed me to save it all so I hope it hasn't cut any off! Think mine was about 244 words.
