[QUOTE="Kirsty Wilkins, post: 239869, member: 42661"] Hi, To answer your queries: 1) The decision will be based solely on the score of your WE - you have already been assessed by Graduate Recruitment to get to the stage of the WE, so whether you progress to the next stage will be based on your WE score. Our [B]senior[/B] associates mark the WEs, but they are marked twice by two different senior associates and are marked completely blind, so Willkie have no identifying information at all (which is held by Shortlister until after the marking is completed and decisions have been made), so we have complete confidence in that marking. I'm sure you can understand that our senior associates are better placed to mark legal technical work than our Graduate Recruitment Team. 2) This has yet to be decided but I expect the information to be staggered. If we send out interviews to those that have passed the WE and some people reject that invitation, we may decide to invite additional people to interview that only just missed the pass mark. We therefore usually stagger the responses as there's always a chance we have a few extra spaces open to invite people after the initial invitations go out. Hope that helps, Kirsty [/QUOTE]
