Did you get an email saying you would hear back from them by last week?

Nope, literally haven't heard from then since confirmation of submitting my app.

So confusing, I got that email yet I haven't heard a thing, whilst others that got the email, got an offer :s-smilie:

Good luck though!

Has anyone heard back from Clyde & Co or Holman Fenwick Willan. I haven't even received a confirmation notification from HFW.

Thanks. Maybe they're just delayed because of the volume of apps. Good luck though!

Congrats to everyone with interviews and offers. Things really seem to have got moving now!

Does anyone know if Speechly Bircham consider apps on a rolling basis? I'm just a bit concerned as I'm having to leave that app until quite close to the deadline...

Have got 5 rejections in 5 days. Anyone willing to take a look at my cover letter and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Please quote this post.

Sorry to hear that. :frown:

Do you mind me asking where you have applied to? Do they all recruit through the usual application form or CV and cover letter? Is this your first year of applying?

I applied to them about a month ago and haven't heard anything... so unless they're just ignoring me, I'm guessing they haven't started rejecting/accepting yet :smile:

Got an email of Herbert Smith thanking me for completing the online tests and telling me my application is under review. Anyone know if this is a good sign or not? (ie. do they reject people based on cuttoff points in the verbal/logical reasoning or sjt?)

Good luck to everyone with interviews!

It's just a standard automated email acknowledging receipt of your test results; neither a good nor bad sign.

I got my PFO from them two days after receiving that email :rolleyes:

Do you put down open days you've been to on your applications? I'm lacking much legal experience so I guess it's better than nothing right?
