bit demoralised after skadden pfo and now doubting my app writing skills generally :/

Feeling the same, so I'm getting some comfort food and hopefully bouncing back in the next few hours cos these other apps aren't gonna write themselves

I don't think I got that email sorry! I applied on the 8th of November, received test on 26th, and received an interview invite a few days later

Sorry for the spam, but has anyone heard from CMS Manchester?

I don't think so! Applications only closed last Friday so they're probably working through all the applicants and tests. I wouldn't worry too much, I think there'll be interviews in January as well
