NRF PFO post VI. Expected but sucks

 

[DavidJC]

NRF WVS post-VI PFO, at least I'm coming to the end of my flu, so onwards and upwards!

Has anyone heard back from P,W since the first few AC invitations were released?

 

[jacksollaf]

any one know their linklaters Watson glasser score

I sent an email asking for it, but never got a reply... sent it oct 10... Although last year they sent it the next day so they might've change policies...

 

[jacksollaf]

Does anyone know if OC give you scores/feedback for their test or if you have to wait until the deadline?

I never received mine after taking the test; but the second part of it, the deductive part, is criminal... I really don't see how that's going to help them get to know us more...

I don't think they issue a report - the second part was really tough based on the time limit. I'm so glad I did the practice test, but still didn't finish all the questions.

Nope. Hoping I’ll be considered for the spring scheme as I applied for both winter and spring 🤞🏽

how long did it take for everyone to get the DLA WG? Applied a couple weeks ago and have heard nothing, wondering if it’s a PFO

I reckon follow up. I got mine back and then requested last year's score and they were quick to send that too.

Is it allowed? I thought only one app per cycle is allowed for the Vac Scheme, whilst the OD can be multiple.

I have no idea but it allowed me to select multiple VS. Maybe I’ve lost the ability to read so won’t get considered 😂

I just checked my apps and last cycle I also applied for 2 schemes- spring and summer together and got an SJT invite

Oh gosh, I was shocked as I couldn't do that on the form since it allowed me to select one VS only. Will they open online OD soon? I saw threads from last year that they opened it, especially for those based abroad and local who got rejected.

I don't bother for PFO as it was my first app ever for VS and the only winter one. I felt it was not outstanding app like the rest which I put more effort on them

Spoke to Milbank today at a uni law fair, they said the assessment is basically an SJT and no VI
