Dunno if this is a win or not but Clyde & Co VI invite after been rejected. They said there was an error of scoring my result.

@Mikeross750 I wouldn't be too worried. I can't comment for other firms, but where you have application questions and cover letters, the general bulk of graduate recruitment's time when sifting through these is to make a decision based off what you have written in those answers, not how you've formatted your work experience. I am sure they know that everyone writes it out a little differently, and unless they've specified the actual order/rules, I would hope they wouldn't place too much emphasis on this.

Personally, I think you've approached it in a way that most actually prefer, so that comment was probably just their personal preference.

I am sure you'll be fine!

Thanks, Afraz!

Clyde & Co VI invite! Could anyone please share any insight into it? Just If it is standard questions or should we expect something unusual... Wonder why they say it should take whole 40-minutes to complete...

For those who’ve succeeded at Clyde & Co’s test, can I ask how long did you complete the test?

For those who’ve succeeded at Clyde & CO’s test, can I ask how long did you complete the test?

If you mean the assessed critical thinking part, I was trying to complete it within the advised 20 minutes which was literally impossible to do. So I would say it took me around 25-27 minutes

 

[CupOfTea17]

I just finished the Birketts test ... not looking great for me here

I'm sure it went better than expected! I just received it today... Can I ask - is it just the regular amberjack type test?

Anybody have insights for Clyde & Co video interviews? I've heard it's not like standard ones, but more hypothetical?
