I did my VI for W&C on the 15th Feb.

Is there anyone on this chat that did it on that date or after and has heard back regarding an AC invite?

I submitted my VI on the 18th Feb and have been refreshing my emails ever since 🙃

Have you guys heard back from Gibson? I do not know if I should email them again

 

[Law Student]

Are you meant to take a pen and paper to an assessment centre?

London office, direct TC LPC route

Honestly same!

After deep research of the forum, it seems as though the last few people to receive a W&C AC completed the VI on the 13th or 14th. I think that means those who were sent the next batch 15th to 19th will hear next.

I hope so anyway, the wait has made me so anxious!

[lawstudent22]

I’m sure they’ll get back to you guys soon, I got my VI offer on the 9th did it on the 13th and got my AC offer on the 27th and did it on the 3rd. So you guys are probably the next batch!

NRF PFO post-Telephone interview, I had a feeling it didn't go well

Honestly at this stage, I feel like the whole recruitment process at these firms is a big farce
