Hey guys,

I received this fairly mysterious mail from SullCrom a couple of days ago:

"...The Recruitment Committee has now reviewed your application and for the short term, we would like to place your application on hold. We will consider your application further towards the application deadline, 15 July 2022, at which time we will advise you as to whether or not you have been shortlisted for interview..."

Thoughts? Is this good or bad?

Thanks

Your application is still under considerAtion - it is good.

And the firm is being polite and telling you you won’t hear back until after the deadline in July, helping to manage your expectations - which is good too!

I just received the same email. Can I asked if they ever followed up?
