edit: just saw a recent post mentioning they send invites in one go so yep that’s that. it’s okay guys we’ll move on.🫠

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

lol same!! Now I gotta lock in for the assessment so they don’t remember my weak application 😭😭

Getting put on a shortlist and getting the short end of that is so much worse than a straight up PFO

Phone call from a delivery driver really had my hopes up for a sec even though I fully know there’s no way a firm was going to call me within 4 hours of finishing an AC 😂🫠

pg

Is this for spring vac if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m not gonna lie I don’t even know at this stage sorry! I even tried looking for it but it just says vacation scheme 🫠😬

 

[Legalfreak212]

anyone know how long to answer CMS VI questions, and how many Qs there are? Would appreciate any insights!

1 minute each, and i think 5 or 6 questions. Good luck!

Is there a requirement for the Osborne Clarke online test to also be finished before the deadline?

I would like to know this too please!

Has anyone heard anything from baker mckenzie this week for the spring scheme ?/ do you think it is sensible to just assume a PFO? The waiting is so painful 😶

I’d assume PFO at this stage they seem to not be replying to anyone I’m sure they would’ve sent them today or yesterday if there were more. In the same boat too

Yeah, agreed. Fingers crossed for both of us for a final batch

Everyone needs to stop “assuming PFO”. It’s not beneficial being negative and it’s not over till it’s in your inbox!

I mean, yes in principle, but no when its better for you to just assume PFO and go on about your life.

if it's like last year then no you do not need to. i applied 5 minutes before the deadline last year and did the test a week later and still got to the next stage.
