Have any of you had your VWV online presentation and how do you think it went? Had mine today but not sure how to feel about it! Also anyone know how many people get through to AC stage?

Does anyone remember when CC called with feedback in previous years post-AC?

would like to know this too! I vaguely remember them saying to us it would be w/b 9th Feb!

Probably they haven't finalised the VS yet, but many ppl on the VS thread said they were known as being disorganised like Fieldfisher, so I might assume a PFO.

morning all, does anyone know how to get candid to update your details for autofill? it's currently autofilling work experience, addresses and grades from two years ago

Freshfields direct TC PFO, just so happy to have an answer (I also don’t really want to take another day off work anyway)

Freshfields PFO as well - has anyone actually received the personalised feedback report from stage 2 that they are talking about?

I got the Freshfields PFO one where they say that your application was strong, that there are limited assessment centre available but they are currently unable to offer you a place.

They then go on to say they want to assure me that my application still remains under active consideration and there is a possibility that we may still invite you to Assessment Centre at a later date.

Is this the one everyone is referring to?

Nope I just got a standard rejection, seems like you are on some sort of waiting list!

Click the top right corner and select your profile that you want to edit. Remember, you can edit everything except for the work experience.
