Sorry to ask such a student room question lol but if I applied for a firm’s open day and they offered me a virtual one instead, does this mean anything or do firms tend not to reject people for open days?
Is there a way to email grad rec for a firm to ask for an update on when they may be communicating decisions without looking pushy/prejudicing my application?
I have applied for an open day at a firm which is in almost two weeks but I’ve heard nothing. Is it appropriate to email grad rec to ask when decisions will be finalised (simply because I will need to take time off work if I am selected)?
Re the weird Travers situation, is anyone reapplying? i obviously like the firm etc but seems pointless to reapply for a summer scheme despite them saying we can, when they weren't impressed by my application in October😂
This seems so strangely phrased too, anyone agree? Either way rather confusing as they definitely haven’t been in contact with me, my portal is still on hold too!
I wonder why this is? Surely if they don’t want to interview me for the winter scheme, they aren’t going to want to interview me for another scheme which has more applicants? They have definitely read my application based on when I submitted it so unsure where to go from here 😕
I was a finalist in a commercial awareness comp last year and I have usually included it on applications (and where I have included it, all interviewers have brought it up/asked about it/commented on it), so yes I would😁
Non-rolling I believe. When I submitted, the email said that the deadline for applications is 3rd December, and we will hear if we have progressed to the test stage “before Christmas” :)
