If a firm were to have a 'casual Friday' or whatever during the VS, how casual is casual? Anyone have any experience of this/advice?

Dark jeans, jumper etc. If you’d wear it laying on your couch watching a movie it’s too casual. Think business casual.

Waiting on this AC result is driving me crazy and it’s only been three days🥲

 

[Kubed]

Are there any UK based firms that value maturity and experience?

I’ve only ever got past the initial application stage for US firms and this makes me wonder if I should just stop investing so much in UK firms.

I've had success at 2 silver circle firms - feel free to message me if you want to discuss further. I'm an early 30s career changer.

Honestly I think I’d have gone out of my mind! We were told we’d hear back by the end of Feb so I am not optimistic 🙄

I contacted a firms GR recruitment after booking an AC slot to let them know I couldn't make it as it clashed with one I preferred (obviously I didn't give this reason to the GR rep). They said they would book me in at a later time, to which I thanked them. Much to my dismay, I have received an email tonight stating that I have been withdrawn from the application process!

Any thoughts on how I should approach this?

[aspiringlawyer22]

I realise this is my anxiety speaking but I’ve now signed a TC contract, they can’t change their minds and revoke it, can they? 😂

That’s strange. Does it say the reason? Has the Ac date you were originally on passed?

 

[BioSTEM]

Could anyone who has done a Bird & Bird AC please give me some tips?

 

[sxw517]

Yes, it earlier in the week. No reason given in email just says 'we can confirm that youve been withdrawn from the application process, we're sorry to see you go!'

The waiting is awful, I'm not blessed with patience 😂 but if you are looking for a distraction Inventing Anna on Netflix is working for me and looks like I may end up binge watching it in one sitting
