Is it frowned upon to send a polite email to grad teams of firms that have seemingly ghosted you?

 

[applicant457]

Anyone heard from Gowling London?

Low key someone should do this to Simmons cause it is actually disrespectful 😭 (but yeah it probs would be cause grad rec have work and emails to go through so adding to their workload isn't great)

Applied to Addleshaw Goddard (AG) summer vac scheme early Jan, completed test a few days later, haven't heard anything.

Looks like a few people have been invited to stage 2 voice interviews (VI), including one who applied mid-late Dec and was invited a week later.

Should I assume my chances are low (similar timeframe to my Taylor Wessing/TW PFO), or am I maybe 'borderline' and they're wading through other candidates to decide whether to put me through?

Understand I'm theorising here which isn't always helpful but someone might have some thoughts - would really appreciate any insights! Don't remember timelines being mentioned during AG events.

Thanks!

The deadline was 5 working days ago

 

[Laurel Lance - Black Canary]

Nothing from TW yet, I think PFO is incoming, it'd be my 12th PFO 😭

 

[Futuretraineeee]

Is anyone still waiting to hear about AC/PFO for Latham summer VS? Should I assume PFO if still not heard?

 

[James Wakefield]

Just got TW WE as well )) the dates are all next week

Can I ask when you applied? Thanks!

RPC Assessment - wonder what the eligibility criteria was because my answer was a 1 hour job not tailored to the firm at all 🤣🤣
