Omg

Moore Barlow just cancelled their assessment days ... I can't believe it!

omg I just saw this they said they shortlisted me but for whatat least they said we have a reserved place for future?? I will never be making a reapplication to this firm.. cancelled their vac scheme and dtc

Has anyone heard back from Moore Barlow post VI? I could have sworn they said they’ll get back before the 8th, so I’m now assuming PFO?

Moments before disaster

Thats insane, I wonder why? Low interest? or maybe the firm didn't do well this year to take on trainees but regardless all that effort just for it to be cancelled!

Definitely not a good sign. And mind you that’s after they already redirected us from vac scheme route to DTC because they cancelled their vac scheme
