Does anyone know what an invigilated online case study will entail? Does this mean I am allowed no notes?

Waiting on HSF

How long after the test results passed do they send out email invites for assessment centres as their vacation scheme is in November.

Just got my HSF PFO

Did you pass the test.

So in my opinion the content of the tests isn't hard but its the time pressure which makes it stressful! Its 15 questions in 16 minutes and I believe the questions get harder as you get them correct (my last question I could barely read the length of the paragraph let alone absorb it and answer questions). Highly recommend using their practice test on the email a few times! The logical one I didn't seem to find as stressful time wise but its a bit of a guessing game with moving shapes and patterns!

Did you pass the test.

Hi, I took the test on 21st Sept and passed

I am so sorry to hear that. This is scary. I am worried if I do pass the test I might get a rejection also.

Has anyone heard back from W&C for winter vacs yet?

 

[OB]

I am so sorry to hear that. This is scary. I am worried if I do pass the test I might get a rejection also.

Wishing you the best of luck, my grades aren't the best which is probably why I was an easy rejection!

 

[M777]

Anyone heard positive news from HSF?

Thank you very much and I don't know you but I feel your pain and know it is hard to deal with a rejection hopefully something will come soon for you to be positive.

Just wondering is it okay to use the same experience/job/role to explain different skills/motivations in a cover letter? Don't want to sound like I'm repeating myself or have limited experiences.

I would say that it is definitely ok as long as it is not the exact same example of what you were doing but rather a different situation within that same experience/job/role - does that make sense?

How long did it typically take for people to get their WG link after submitting their DLA Piper application?

Anyone heard positive news from HSF?

I passed the test but no other news. Has there been any AC invites?
