Does NRF have any application questions?

 

[Dannie]

Honest opinion sought - is it worth applying to V&E now even though its rolling?

just cover letter for the vac scheme

 

[tom-sawyer]

For NRF, given their website only mentions "Tell us why you want to join, what excites you about our programme, and how your skills match our values. Keep it personal and specific." for their cover letter, am I right in saying we don't need to mention why law in the cover letter?

Hi! Just wondering for Clyde & Co, is it a digital simulation test that includes VI post app, and then a separate VI stage as well? Would appreciate any info, thanks!

Anyone heard back from Weil or Simmons & Simmons after VI?

Just had an invite for Reed Smith assessment and VI - anyone know if its automatic or does that mean I actually passed a paper sift...? I applied on 22/11.

It's not automatic, there were plenty of people got PFO post app at Reed Smith, including reapplicants
