Giving interviews?

No email or gateway change for me, so i'll take that as a no =(.


Yes, and they have just sent out interview times too - sorry to be bearer of bad news!

When is Outer and 42 BR going to be out? Anyone heard back?

Applying for pupillage is turning into a mix between the Hunger Games and University Challenge.


I have the exact same two outstanding. Nice analogy!

When confirming attendance for the CPS Case Study Assessment (by email) - did people receive an acknowledgement or was it just the standard auto-response?
So, any further news from SJB? They said 4th July for first round interviews (provisionally), so you'd think invites would be soon.

I had the standard auto-reply
Anyone heard anything from any of the following:

9 Park Place
Queen's Square
Iscoed.

Any info will be gratefully received.

Thank you.

If it still says "Applied" on the Gateway, is that a rejection?
Carmelite or 4BB news anyone?

Same here - hope it's good news, though I guess you never know.

Mine still says 'applied' for both. 4BB asked for my cv a few weeks ago, when I updated something on my gateway app.

Has anyone heard any word on Essex Court post-reference check?


Email sent yesterday with interview date/time.
Has anyone heard yet from Crown Office Chambers?
Quick question, for covering letters, do you:

1) Introduce yourself
2) Why them?
3) Why you? Skills and personal qualities
4) End

Is there a strict structure? Don't want it to seem repetitive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in ad. x

Exactly. Not sure what it may hold - but one way or another we can be sure they have looked at our applications. Last time one of my gateway apps changed from applied to under consideration - I was offered an interview the next day. Hopefully this will follow suit :smile:
Can someone confirm if 9 park place interviews have been sent out?

Its very depressing to know that if I can't get pupillage, I can't even rely on stripping as a back up plan...
