    I emailed Withers Grad Recruitment about this and they said that they do not automatically send the test to everyone, they review applications and then send the tests to select individuals. Hope that helps!

    Did Withers send you a separate email with an invitation to complete the test? I submitted my application a few days ago and still have not received a test invite!

    I am currently a paralegal at a small high-street firm and am looking to move to a more prestigious paralegal role in the Government. Will silver circle/city law firms view this change from private to public sector unfavourably? I know this is quite a tricky question to answer but any advice...

    This is so helpful thank you! Just checking, when you say to reach out to the recruiter on LinkedIn do you mean to send them a private message on LinkedIn? Sorry I'm still getting my head around recruiters and how they work

Is it usual...

    I've just been notified by a firm that I've been placed on the reserve list for their TC. I don't want to get my hopes up too much but how likely do you think it is that people will drop out and I'll be offered their TC?
