Did anyone else get invited to telephone interview with NRF, what sort of questions do you think they might ask?

Did you receive your invitation today?

Yh, which is odd given its a Sunday. From what I gather the interviews are late next week and possibly the following week so plenty of time to hear back yet. FYI alphabetically my name is pretty high up so that may be the reason, I'm not sure.

I received one on Friday- when I checked the interviews available, there were quite a few for this week.

Thank you! Can I ask when you completed the Watson Glazer test? I completed it the day of the deadline so was wondering if that had any effect?

Yes!
So they'll be asking a lot more about yourself- they want to know your unique story and what inspires you, ofc why nrf, why the apprenticeship, why law, they'll be asking competency based questions like tell me about a time you've worked in a team, scenarios like what would you do if you have a deadline for a client's work tonight + but also have a night out planned with friends, + make sure you have questions prepped to ask them + use STAR + focus on you, not other people, - this is what i've gathered from their masterclass

Hi! I sent mine last Tues and also haven't heard back. Tbf, they also took a long time between each stage e.g. the written and assessment, so I think we do need to be patient, but perhaps we have been rejected :')

I applied to Simmons and Simmons back in April and haven’t heard anything back from them. I’ve emailed them to ask for an update on my app an they’ve just said that they a still going through applications. I’m so confused because it seems like their already on the last stage. May I ask what platform people used to apply? Was it the firms website, bbp or indeed etc.
