Hi! Did you receive the email in early Jan stating that the next stage would be a written task? Just received the progression email but it didn't provide explicit details on whether it was written task7AC?

oh i totally forgot about that email i may have jumped the gun a bit then as i just saw the 'for most roles the next stage is assessment centre' 😭 maybe its one of those where the written exercise is sent before the main ac?

Does anyone know how long Fieldfisher typically take to get back following test? Completed test last week and received scores immediately after, followed by an email yesterday stating they are reviewing my application?

i did my test 23 dec but haven't heard anything since, they do have a v small grad rec team though and i saw they were giving out diversity access scheme offers so maybe they will move onto looking at tc next

Is it likely Freshfields have sent out all WG invites?

 

[legally.brown]

Everyone waiting for a Freshfields WG, I reached out to grad rec and they were kind enough to respond:

“Hi ***,

Applications are still being screened and further invitations to complete the Watson Glaser test will be issued over the near term.

Rest assured, you’ll receive an update on your application when a decision is made.”

Hope this helps to relieve any stress. Let’s stay hopeful If it’s a pfo for some of us, then again not the end of the world and we move 👍🏻

@prospectiveswitcher hope this helps

No idea about Links! Sidley I would say in the next two to three weeks?
