[QUOTE="johnsmith, post: 246414, member: 42430"] Honestly, I think they do understand it. From an objective point of view they have to review all the amazing applications they receive. In a couple of ACs I have attended this year the first have started the have have had between 1-2k more applicants than normal. Those sorts of volumes, particularly of quality applications with questions is going to cause delays. The one thing that could improve is holding emails advising this as it at least shows applications are being reviewed carefully. Subjectively your frustration is felt by everyone going through this process but I wouldn’t say it should reflect badly on the firm, just the volumes and competition involved. Also worth considering, perhaps one of the team has flu or a sick child which has caused unexpected delays in the timeline. They are just human are all! Grad rec will be feeling as much as you are as the trainee recruitment cycle isn’t there only daily responsibility, as most are also managing all their current trainees and apprentices. Stay strong, you’ll hear soon! [/QUOTE]
