Hey guys, if a firm says they need to verify documents by tomorrow close of business day and they haven't confirmed the time for doing so yet (I emailed them yesterday at 10.30 am with my availability and deadline was midday yesterday), do you think I should wait or call and confirm- I definitely replied to their email but haven't had a response yet and need to know a rough time as I work?
Can I just say I for one really appreciate these posts, as hard as the news might be (one of them is my dream firm). It gives me time to digest the news instead of having the PFO suddenly come at an inconvenient time like when we prep for other ACs!
Hi @Jony ! Thanks so much for this - I've emailed them but haven't had heard back from them the whole day, and I'm quite worried as the ACs start next week. Would you mind DM-ing me Nicola's email (if you have it)? I think I'll be able to reach them quicker if I email them directly, rather than through their GR email inbox. Thank you in advance! 🙏🏻Drop them a friendly email, Nicola usually replies really fast and it’s definitely important for you to get it sorted on the server-side!
Cleary Gottlieb Vacation scheme offer and SPB AC invite. What a Wednesday! If there is anyway I could help any of you guys drop me a dm.
Jacob’s Monday articles really came in clutch during the interviews.
If a firm has not gotten back to you on the outcome of an application within the timeframe they provided, how long after should you wait to email them? I dont want to seem impatient (I definitely am), but I have also heard that a few people never received emails back from certain apps and had to check the portals. However this particular application does not have a portal I can look at.
I personally would not mention this as they may view you as a flight risk. I wouldn't want to put a bug in their ear as it could translate into you wanting to move on once trained up.
It makes sense to call since the firm wants to verify your documents by close of business tomorrow. It's an important deadline so it's ok

I’m the same position as this for Willkie - I’m going to give it 5-7 working days after the end of my window (which was yday)
Boodle Hatfield interview invitation
Congrats on getting an interview! I secured a vacation scheme with them last year and really enjoyed the interview.
I recommend that you review your own experience, and think of examples you can apply to competency based questions. I found in my interview that I was asked the same competency question twice at different points. I think they were checking to see how quickly I was able to think on my feet, and not be surprised to be asked the same question twice. In addition, they really read your application in detail so make sure you remember your work experience (for instance I was asked about some work experience I had done in 2017!).
Secondly, have a really have a good ponder about what makes Boodle Hatfield different against their competitors. From my interview feedback this is what was highlighted greatly as a positive and what made me stand out.
Lastly, don't be afraid if it is a bit longer than your normal interview. Mine ended up being around an hour and twenty minutes. I was worried that it meant I had done badly as I assumed it was because I wasn't concise but looking back they are asking a lot of questions as they genuinely want to get to know you.
Best of luck! If you want any further advice drop me a message
Yeah it's Willkie for me too with the exact same window. I think that's a reasonable amount of time - will try and steady my nerves until then
They moved it on the website, but someone said they tried to apply with that new deadline and it said applications are closed. We speculate it may be a new deadline for accepting their open day/AC? Maybe it will open up when they start giving out invites, who knows lol
Willkie said to allow 10 days in the auto response. I’m waiting too and applied Sunday before last
