I just asked chatgpt and she said its most likely a rejection. I just deleted her, i'm not here for negativity right now🥲

In this context, “Archived” simply means that the listing is no longer active.

For a training contract posting, Archived usually means one of the following:

• The vacancy has closed (applications are no longer being accepted)
• The firm has removed or completed the listing
• The page is kept only for reference/history, not for current recruitment

So the “London Training Contract – Clifford Chance – Archived” entry is not an active opportunity; it’s an old listing kept on the site for record purposes.
