    When did you complete it? I completed mine for their vac scheme, it’s weird as mine still says “finished” until this day 😂 I wouldn’t worry, I’m sure you will hear positive news soon.

    I think it was probably Jones Day. As my friend recently interviewed with them, and the same question was asked.
