I didn't actually see anyone get past the application for their Leeds office. I feel like at this stage they've probably just filled spaces, as tomorrow is the deadline they've given themselves to get back to everyone.
Could be wrong, but 🤷♀️
I applied for Manchester - I think generally I’ve seen barely anyone surpass the first stage on the forum? Could just be chance though!
I did apply on the final day, not sure if that matters! It is a huge shame as I feel that once I get past the first stage I tend to do well (but maybe I shouldn’t jinx it)
Yeah I have only seen people be successful for Birmingham and London so far. I applied on the last day too, I imagine they review in order since they claim to be rolling - so we were probably at a disadvantage anyways!I applied for Manchester - I think generally I’ve seen barely anyone surpass the first stage on the forum?

When did you guys get the email for a PFO from Shoosmiths? I have yet to hear back, anxiously waiting!
I feel like it's not going to be good news for me either

About 19:17. Although for some reason it filtered out of my main inbox, so definitely check spam/all emails!When did you guys get the email for a PFO from Shoosmiths? I have yet to hear back, anxiously waiting!

I haven't heard anything either. Just checked my spam etc. I was really hoping it would be today as I have an interview tomorrow for a job, and I didn't want to stress about both things, or be reeling from disappointment of a PFO on the day of this job interview.When did you guys get the email for a PFO from Shoosmiths?

Fingers crossed it will be okay, but I do think it will be a PFO for me too.
PFO for Shoosmiths as well, but then an AC for BLM!
but then I’m pretty sure I binned my TLT AC earlier today - mixed bag of a day?

Congrats on the AC! Wonderful news.
If it makes you feel better, after my AC with Fieldfisher I cried because I thought I had messed up so badly. But, I think we are all our own worst critics! I have my fingers crossed for you 🤲
Shoosmiths PFO. Pretty disappointed as thought app was good but onto the next I suppose
Feel like I didn’t see anyone get a VI for the London office direct TC app? Just people who did the VS or did a VI for the VS? May be wrong, but no point dwelling!

Thank you! Honestly I’m trying to convince myself I overthought it, but fingers crossed!

Now that you mention it, I agree! I didn't see anyone for London direct TC get any further either.
It is what it is. I think I best start looking at other firms I'm interested in that are still open 😬
PFO from Shoosmiths as well, (London office), feeling deflated today, hope some good news is to come soon
Is anyone else really confused by the Shoosmiths PFO email? "Although you did not meet our minimum requirements for this role, your application scored highly" and "I hope you take confidence from hearing your application was strong" - does anyone know what minimum requirements I did not meet? Shoosmiths require a minimum of CCC at A-Level, I obtained ABC. I also have a high 2:1 (68%) from RG uni

Me currently! I have cried so much after my AC today! The written exercise was horrible
