    Received PFO from CMS post WG. I've scored highly before for other firms (after requesting feedback), but I feel i'm lacking consistency with my WG performance. Can anyone who has passed CMS WG give me an insight into their WG performance, just wondering what the benchmark may be.

    I just received the Bakers rejection also post VI and honestly was set on the firm so it stings v badly! I have these thoughts also, but just remember how far you got, and that you've got what it takes to eventually succeed, even if that takes longer than we'd like! I graduated in 2018 and have...

    Mine says updated 21 December, however I did my WG around 29/30th and applied on the 21st. I am assuming they have not yet looked at mine.

    Reed Smith Post SJT

    I started by first discussing why I would feel confident challenging a colleagues process and when it would be most appropriate. I've then used an example to show what i learnt from that situation, and the impact of my involvement in changing our strategy. All touch on their core values e.g...

    Reed Smith Post SJT
