Hi guys!

I'm just looking to double check something. I've been invited to Kennedys AC. They state that they have a strengths-based interview. Does that mean there will be NO motivational/commercial questions or that it will be mostly strengths-based but still have "why Kennedys", "why you" etc.

Could anyone that has completed the Kennedys AC in the past please reach out to me I have so many questions 😭 their AC seems so confusing
I am the same! mines on thursday - how are you prepping for the AC and interview?
 
@BreadandButter just curious as to why you have put ‘🤣’ under most of my comments and under comments of others over the past few hours.

Not sure what’s funny or amusing about people needing reasonable adjustments due to their neurodiversity or struggling with navigating the application cycle. Also I’m not sure what’s amusing about people receiving PFO’s and feeling upset about them. I don’t know how going to a comp state school and being a first gen uni student is funny or amusing either.

I wouldn’t normally say anything like this but I just find it really strange and insensitive. 🤨

Sorry about this. They are upset that they have been warned about their behaviour in the forum (and sending very hostile messages to our moderator) and they're taking it out on community members. They have now been banned.

This is quite scary considering they have got SVS offers from HSF and AG! I hope they aren’t like this in real life as well. 😞

@Jessica Booker i'm an international student and i managed to secure a spring vac scheme; assuming I successfully convert it, when i apply for the extension of my visa, do i apply for the student one (as i will be studying my SQE 1+2) or do i apply for the skilled worker one (as the firm will be sponsoring the course)
You will be on a student visa as you are not working until your TC starts.
 
Guys I was a bit silly and didn't take note of which firms asked for a referee can anyone help me out if they know which firms they applied to requested for either academic or professional references so that I can take note of it? Really appreciate it thanks!!

you know what you’re doing. you got an AC - congratulations. but don’t forget you’ve also been rejected from applications, and i’m sure you’ve gotten support from the forum.

what you put in to the world is what you’ll get out of it. don’t let it be bad karma.
