    I started to have sort of NPD if they keep doing that. Similarly. I don't get any invites, just 2 holding email from Cooley which eventually rejected and also CRS which they don't send me a VI invite for London.

    Maybe the best one to cope this situation is keeping our profile private? What's the point, I'm seriously asking as these firms don't ask our URL of LinkedIn profile or submit any CVs on Vantage or AllHires 🤣😫

    I wanna buy LinkedIn premium but my money well spent for commercial awareness subs 🥲

    Guys how do you know if grad rec is stalking your linkedin.... I have my profile views turned off so I can't see if anyone is viewing mine
    Bcs they saw your app and type your name on search page (they don't have your URL) as it wasn't part of the form. The most intriguing part is the firm ghosted your app, but have time to stalk yours and you don't meet them to any event before or get connected to any related person within the firm.

    Fieldfisher update - We can now confirm that Phase One is complete. However, due to the exceptionally high volume of strong applications, this now means that all of our Training Contract and Summer Scheme places have now been filled.

    What a joke. You could’ve just closed the apps when you thought you reached the max number of applications which would be sufficient to pick candidates from. Why mention you’re non rolling on your tc page then??? Complete waste of time.
