Okay, I’ve decided to go for it and I’m currently doing as many direct to TC applications as I can (whilst ensuring they’re adequately researched). I’m doing Shoosmiths atm and one of their questions says: “Describe a time when you’ve had to analyse information or data to provide...- Hele25

No, I completely agree with you, whilst not objectively bad I didn’t feel my results were completely accurate 🤷🏻♀️ But good to know they’re only partly considered :) Yes, one individual was super stressed because they said their results were basically polar opposite of who they were, and grad...- Hele25

So went to a talk last night where you could speak with WBD’s grad rec team afterward, and it was interesting to see how much they obviously trust the results of the pymetric tests as accurate representations of the applicants. (They were also very clear that if an individual doesn’t end up...- Hele25

It’s quite nerve racking as when you (one) checks their application you can see what they’ve looked at/reviewed 😅 I swear the day it changed over from not viewed to reviewed (or something similar) I said “I’m going to die of nerves/anticipation”, but mine has been like that for at least a month...- Hele25

Okay, I’d like to blame my slight dyslexia/general exhaustion but I’ve just realised that I’ve been calling WBD- Womble Bond Dickson and not DickINson for the entire application process.... I was already waiting for PFO but now I think I’ll just withdraw it hahahaha 🤦🏻♀️- Hele25

I’m honestly just exhausted now. I am keeping positive/going to keep working hard until next year but it’s just so disappointing for all the plans I’d made. Does anyone have any advice on how to be proactive/get started early for next years cycle? (I do still have 3 firms to hear back from, but...- Hele25

When is it appropriate to email a firm for an update? I applied to Addleshaw Goddard on the 20th of October and I’ve heard nothing post app. I know it’s a PFO, but I’d just like confirmation tbh. But I also know how unbelievably busy grad rec must be and don’t want to be annoying!- Hele25

We could be twins honestly. I’ll tell you what I’ve been telling myself- all we can do is try our absolute best and through that something will happen. No one can be this proactive/put so much effort into something and nothing come of it. It may not be this year or exactly what we envisioned but...- Hele25

I applied end of October and have heard absolutely nothing since- I know it’s likely a PFO, I just wish they’d let us know already as it’s the waiting that’s so unbearable 😅- Hele25

So, first I stated what they were/what they did and why I thought it was innovative. - then went into a bit more detail about their services/elements of activism they took part in. I took ‘we’ to mean WBD and also the legal sector at large. So I said what innovative elements of the business I...- Hele25
