I’ve been putting the end date of the job role so say if it’s set to end in July 2026, I’ve just put it down as that and haven’t rly had any issues. I think I saw Afraz mention yous can put today’s date to signal to grad rec that it’s a current position? Either is fine tbf. Do what works for you!- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

If I had a quid for each day that has passed since I did Milbank stage 1, I’d have 35 quid, which isn’t a lot but it’s a sign that they’re taking a long time to send me the inevitable PFO.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

It’s a standard Cappfinity assessment so it has SJT and WG questions. Then there’s a proofreading exercise to check for SPAG. They said it should take an hour but ngl I spent at least 90 to 120 mins. I think the test was untimed so time doesn’t factor in their decision.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

There are 2 to 3 days of ACs per week, so it’s 16-24 people per week, 60-65 across all ACs. Each day has a morning and afternoon slot, with 4 people per slot, so 8 people a day for ACs. This week’s slots were filled and when I selected my Weil AC for a later slot most had been filled. They...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

ACs are running this week and next, going into the first week of Feb. Perhaps you guys are all on a waiting or reserve list. So if current AC’ers don’t do well (likely for me lmao), then they’ll send out more AC invites to fill in those extra VS slots? I’m just hazarding a guess idk Weil’s GR...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
