Bakers PFO lol

I knew bashing out an application on the last two days was risky 😅🫠🥴

Willkie WE invite. Im crying.

 

[OliviaHB]

I haven't heard back either, but I would assume its positive since loads got rejections?

I hadn’t heard and also applied on deadline but got Pfo this morning

oh wow so sorry to hear that Would you know if ppl have received online tests already?

 

[lelezb1]

I know this is weird but are you really expected to look into the camera when completing a VI? Most times I’m looking at myself and the timer. Is not looking directly at the camera enough of a reason to not progress?

so from my experience, looking at the camera is important. The only thing i did differently in my willkie vi (the only VI i progressed till date) is to look at the camera the entire time. Along with giggling/smiling in between cause i was crying internally.

Might have started the morning with a PFO, but what I do know is good news is coming through!

[lalalailovelife]

Does anyone know when we will hear back from Clyde & Co after the VI?

 

[solicitor_2028]

The OC test invite says that it should be completed within 5 days and doesn't specify a time. So is it safe to assume that if I got my test invite at 23:00 on the 15th, my test link will expire on at 23:00 on the 20th?

People getting a PFO from Bakers summer VS and the people that did VI for the spring VS still did not hear back it's driving me crazy

What is the Cleary WG like?

 

[TCGrad1642]

Willkie WE also! So so happy as I was rejected after VI last year.

 

[qwerty!]

Also is the cleary WG automatic? I literally got an 'we were impressed with your application ...' invite 2 mins after I sent my cover letter off which makes me feel like they did not read it 😭 😭

 

[Donuttime]

Anyone still waiting to hear back from Reed smith?

 

[Rosie_Kitten]

Does anyone know when we will hear back from Clyde & Co after the VI?

Thank you so much, I appreciate you've had to be the Clyde & Co info summariser! When people message me for insight into the VI I just send them straight to your post! Much appreciated
