I've just realised I made a mistake on one of my applications - all other applications I've completed have the duration of work experience as years/months/weeks, but this form had it the other way round and on way of my entries I've put 0 weeks, 5 months, 3 years, when it should be 3 weeks, 5 months, 0 years.

Is this worth emailing grad recruitment to correct or is it not seen as major?

Definitely worthwhile correcting this given it’s presenting something as 3 years when it should be three weeks.

Thanks Jessica

On the application form, there is the option for a
“supplementary information function to enable applicants to update their exam/degree/law school results, in addition to adding any extra work-experience or information, in support of their application.”

Would you say it’s fine to put it here, as opposed to emailing grad recruitment directly?

Was told at an open day

Thanks, very odd that the website suggests non-rolling then. I also applied on deadline for the winter VS and passed the app stage so idk what to think 🤔

On second thoughts I might have remembered wrong but I am pretty sure they said they review applications as they got them (tbh I have attended so many different firm open days that my wires could be crossed haha!) Nevertheless, I have just checked a few application trackers from different sources and they all say NRF recruits on non-rolling. So will just go with that 🫠

I think they’re semi-rolling. For winter, people progressed to the test stage before the deadline, but I don’t think anyone got invited to TI till after, so you still have a chance if you apply later

Might submit early then and get that AWFUL Arctic Shores out the way (assuming my app passes review again lol)

What is the Arctic Shores test like? I'm not the best at game-type assessments

Search it on YouTube, there is a good tutorial

from what I recall, it's 10 or so flash games, testing pattern recognition/memorisation, reaction time, ability to discern facial expressions etc. The worst one by FAR is the final one with the safe/bomb, where you have to pause the spinning arm(?) at just the right moment to land on a specific number..... every time you miss, you start from the beginning. spent upwards of an hour doing this after a full day of work before giving up. I made it to AC without finishing that round don't sweat it you got this!
