I’m sorry to hear that! If you don’t mind answering, how long did it take for them to contact you after the AC itself?

has anyone received WG from FF? 😭 feeling like a pre-WG PFO...
Hi, I've not received it and I applied on the day of the deadline. I've seen a few people on here have recieved it though. When did you apply?
Hey, I got rejected by CMS post-AC last cycle so seeing this post just made me remember how I felt then lol
But honestly, they give great feedback and they welcome you to apply again! I have an AC next week now so hoping second time is the charm!
Its so rough getting so close but honestly if you can reach AC then you're definitely able to get something soon!!
Same!!! Don't let this get to you and keep moving forward. We're all in this together and we're going to get something soon
Thank you😭 you’re right! PMA only in this forum 🤣✨
Received over 10 emails today but most of them are either Deliveroo and Uber eats......Getting tired of waiting for the responses...
There's something about sitting alone in a room staring at a camera answering questions prompted on a screen while a timer is ticking away that can be so unsettling in a VI.Just did my VI for Irwin Mitchell and for a few questions i got cut off. I've done a few VI's and never feel good about them- I feel like I present myself in a much better way in live interviews. Feeling so disheartened by how many law firms recruitment processes have a video interview element that just doesnt accurately portray ones personality- i come off as cold and not friendly I feel....i fucking hate the application process for law firms. I understand they receive thousands of applications but just feel that it's not personal at all and is centered around quickly cutting down the pool of people by criteria that is not relevant/representative of what you are actually capable of and what you can bring to the firm....
The one thing that helped me get over this was treating VIs as an opportunity to be face-to-face with the firm to show them what I have to offer. I would crave this while writing applications because I felt like I wasn't able to put across the entirety of my personality, background or motivations on paper and needed a proper interaction with the firm.
VIs aren't perfect at all and there is room for improvement (do they 'need' to be so strictly timed, can someone from graduate recruitment video call to ask questions rather than have them prompted on the screen etc.) but they give you an opportunity to present at least some of your off paper, authentic self in an incredibly competitive and high-volume application process and that can be really invaluable if you choose to see it this way.
It feels like a happy day for me today receiving no application update from law firms.
