The HR team are lazy to tailor the CRM response, poor ERP systems. Very unprofessional lol
hey so sorry to hear - is this for the pathway to practice?I’ve been put on waitlist for Fieldfisher (applied on deadline day).
I did the TI last year and got rejected :/
Honestly, %vacancy title% was very competitive this year. Don't let this get you down!
Yea but tbf I expected it I was honestly expecting a rejection as I got rejected post TI last year and thought they’d like to interview new people and my legal experience hasn’t increased significantly from last year. So it’s nice to not be outright rejected
Has anyone received a PFO though? I haven't seen anything for DTC for sure. I hope it's not a tacit rejectionYea but tbf I expected it I was honestly expecting a rejection as I got rejected post TI last year and thought they’d like to interview new people and my legal experience hasn’t increased significantly from last year. So it’s nice to not be outright rejected
That would make me so mad, like don’t give me hopes just reject me. They did say they have gotten a “record number of applications and acs are on a rolling basis” I am assuming it is a tactic rejection but I also feel some people will be very lucky to get an invite even after being waitlisted.
Agree, it's likely if they sent a dedicated email that's indicated a negative in my view, rather than silent and randomly PFO candidate like Weil or Mac which might be a slightly positive outcome. Glad I didn't fill out my module breakdown lol, or I'd waste my timeYea but tbf I expected it I was honestly expecting a rejection as I got rejected post TI last year and thought they’d like to interview new people and my legal experience hasn’t increased significantly from last year. So it’s nice to not be outright rejected
I agree.
"We are thrilled by the level of interest in our opportunities this year and have received a record number of applications."
Guys, the record number of applications is not thrilling for anyone receiving this email
Shouldn’t call GR lazy they a probably just busy as Someone said to me a few weeks ago haha
bruh it is lazy if they cant even get that right LMAO
That makes me think if I should have applied for a vac scheme as they would like to hire from there but usually they are hiring equally from both. My friend who also applied closer to the deadline had the same email so I also think it’s due to that coz they filled ac slots on a “rolling basis” already ://
Their grad rec page says they are non rolling tho and would get back to everyone in dec
This is another level of laziness, if you ever operated a CRM it's a very basic task and easy to do, not like reading your application form which is time consuming and need one by one, you can just adjust one template and insert xls file to get a personalised email for each candidate which take just fewer than 5 mins.
Genuinely wondering what I could be doing wrong at this point. For reference re written applications, I have been told by University careers advisers that I have very strong answers, so this doesn't appear to be the problem.
At undergrad I had one of the top-3 degree scores in one of the top business schools in the country. Now at PGDL, I was similarly top of the class in almost all mock examinations (haven't got any real grades from it yet). I was a national level sportsperson, President of a university sports team, took part in loads of Forage programmes, open days, career dinners, and feel confident with VIs as have done loads of prep and done lots of public speaking in the past. I also have work experience at law firms, as well as across varying fields which should show being well-rounded.
I just can't understand how the rejections can be piling up as much as they are - is luck really as much of a factor as it seems to be?
