So we've all been PFO'd by Reed Smith, then? Wonder if they hit capacity.

RS PFO…one step closer to becoming a consultant 🥲

 

[Meena]

Is there anyone who hasn’t received Reed Smith PFO at all?

 

[esmemckenzie]

Fladgate VI!! Does anyone have any tips as its only one question

Hi, congrats! have you done the VI yet?

Hopping on the reed smith pfo train :/ first time I’ve ever scored top for verbal and numerical but those pillars were wack. hey ho we move!!

Reed smith PFO. What did u guys make of the VI feedback. I personally found it very confusing. For the ‘what unique qualities would u bring to the role?’ question, they told me to mention the unique qualities and not what I’m good at. Yet if I had just mentioned my unique qualities without any examples, I would’ve still been pfo’ed. I answered this question by stating 2 qualities and examples when I demonstrated them, so not sure what I did wrong. Smh 🤦

Reed Smith PFO’ers. What were your assessment pillars like? Interested to see how much it might be weighted.

I got very similar feedback, do you think we all got the same RS feedback?

Top third for verbal, average for numerical then the four pillars were 4 bars, 6 bars, 6 bars, 7 bars

It’s weighted nothing … I got 9976 and two above average in verbal and numerical reasoning !! Also, I am sure I did very well in VI. The most hurting rejection since the starting of the cycle !

I think so they just put generic feedback in mine as they said due to applicant volumes they can’t give individual comments

RS PFO!

I'm with you on that. I struggle to see how qualities can be detached from your strengths (especially when we're trying to impress!), or, at the very least, how we can demonstrate such qualities without bringing examples (with the ever-important STAR structure).

The email says the feedback isn't personal, which is slightly irritating.
