Can't remember fully (so may be wrong) but I think last year I had a tick by candidate review while they were still deciding and then was rejected at at candidate review stage (mine said 77% though not 60%). So not sure the tick does mean anything...
Is anyone having/has anyone had a problem with the A&O application portal where it's not saving your application and you have to start again every time you log in? Or just me? :confused:
Could someone pls tell me what the A&O vac scheme questions are? Cannot seem to access them until I fill in all the previous pages of the form and haven't got round to doing that yet. Thanks :)
But WG doesn't have to be done before the deadline necessarily - or does it? The way I read it suggests you have five days to complete the test after you submit your application, so the latest someone could complete it is five days from now? Correct me if I'm wrong on that though!
Yes, makes sense. When I applied last year I got 97th percentile for WG but still got rejected probably based on my Capp (my highest scoring attributes were working with others and resilience, and my lowest scoring was respect) o_O So seems like Capp really is important!
For Linklaters Capp what have been people who got through to the AC had as their lowest scoring attributes? It seems like there are some skills from their framework which they value more than others?
Ok thank you :) It seems like since stripping down their application form to just basic info (no work exp questions etc) Linklaters have very little to go on before inviting candidates to AC. But I guess that just means they place more emphasis on candidates' performance in these tests!
And apologies if this has already been asked, but for Linklaters does anyone how the Capp assessment is weighted compared with other components e.g. WG?
