Sorry to hear that.

Do you mind telling me when you applied? It's been quite a while since I applied so I'm expecting a PFO imminently!



I applied in the last week of January and got my PFO today. It went into my junk mail weirdly though.

They offered me the date of Friday 13th. I'm going to try and get it put forward a day to the 12th since I'm busy on the Friday and would like to get it done with - They mention that they are flexible so fingers crossed.

I'm fortunately in London atm, so really would prefer to get it done asap. It's only a 30 minute interview, so don't think I need too much preparation.

Nope, that's on Friday - I can try and let you know after that date. There is a slight chance, I might not attend (i.e if I were to receive an offer before that date from a preferred firm)

I got my post-interview rejection from Reed Smith today. Thought it went quite well but oh well. In the interview details they said that the interview would be a strengths based one but when I got there I was quite surprised to discover that it was instead a combination of a competency type one and a strengths based one.


Hard luck on the rejection. I wasn't expecting the competency-based questions at all and I struggled on this part.

When did you have your interview? I'm nervously waiting for my reply

Hey! I applied well before Christmas, sat the online tests just after Christmas then got an offer to attend an AC towards the end of January. When selecting an AC I only had two options of dates and presumed they were coming to the end of interviewing. However whilst at the assessment day the Graduate Recruitment Adviser stated they still had a lot of interviewing to do, in addition I could select from any of the three summer schemes, presumably meaning none are yet full. As I applied so early I presume my AC was one of the first, so I wouldn't be phased by the fact your application is still under review! My assessment centre was less than two weeks from the day I got the offer so there's still plenty of time, they only invite 8 at a time.


Thanks a lot! That's super helpful and makes me feel better about not hearing back yet. I applied for the Spring Vacation Scheme though so hopefully I'll get some good news soon.
