RiverThames	Posted - 05 February 2010 20:31 Anyone?
joker88	Posted - 05 February 2010 22:43 Report as offensive Heard nothing yet. I'm presuming you haven't either?
champa	Posted - 05 February 2010 23:07 Report as offensive Haven't heard anything either yet. Probably next week at some point.
Ashesofthewake	Posted - 08 February 2010 18:42 Report as offensive Just got a situational judgment test.
queuesee	Posted - 08 February 2010 18:57 Report as offensive Yes, but they said the test is sent to everyone and wont actually affect your application!
Mr Hargreaves	Posted - 09 February 2010 08:29 Report as offensive wragge hr work in geological time so don't be concerned if you don't hear for a while
ah258	Posted - 10 February 2010 14:17 Report as offensive Yes also they extended their deadline until the 4th
RiverThames	Posted - 10 February 2010 14:20 Report as offensive Where did you find out about extension? website?
TeamCoco	Posted - 10 February 2010 15:37 Report as offensive same. I got the SJT last week. They extended the deadline? Could they not find any good candidates? Was told that they have about 2000 applicants for the vac and tc schemes. hmm
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 10 February 2010 16:37 Report as offensive i have a telephone interview for it tho.
TeamCoco	Posted - 10 February 2010 19:54 Report as offensive when did they offer you a telephone interview?
Mr Hargreaves	Posted - 11 February 2010 08:29 Report as offensive if memory serves they extended the deadline last year and the year before as well
lookingforlaw	Posted - 11 February 2010 10:22 Report as offensive they did indeed extend the deadline last year and I'm sure it was the same the year before. the a/c for wragge was good, relatively informal with a variety of different exercises including role play (which I was hopeless at) and a partner interview... good luck x
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 11 February 2010 16:41 Report as offensive YAY! got an assessment centre, now i am totaaallllyy FREAKING OUT.
RiverThames	Posted - 11 February 2010 16:45 Report as offensive Why did you apply exactly?
champa	Posted - 11 February 2010 16:53 Report as offensive desperatelyseeking, when did you apply? I still haven't heard anything since handing back the questionnaire!
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 11 February 2010 17:24 Report as offensive Ages ago, they may be doing it by when your app was recieved.
TeamCoco	Posted - 11 February 2010 17:58 Report as offensive congrats. that would make sense. Tho I applied last year and have heard nothing. hmm
ah258	Posted - 12 February 2010 16:28 Report as offensive They sent me an email as I started the application but never managed to finish it by the deadline. It was also posted on their website. They probably just do it every year judging by what was written above.
RiverThames	Posted - 15 February 2010 12:14 Report as offensive So...any news?
champa	Posted - 15 February 2010 13:56 Report as offensive Still nothing, this is so annoying! Haven't heard from norton rose either which is so frustrating.
RiverThames	Posted - 16 February 2010 15:33 Report as offensive Still waiting, it can be so frustrating...
champa	Posted - 16 February 2010 16:10 Report as offensive I know this is getting ridiculous... When do they usually hold their assessment days? Surely it must be in Feb/March time?!
RiverThames	Posted - 16 February 2010 16:28 Report as offensive Well, that's what I thought. Maybe they are just holding people back so that they can send a huge batch of PFOs all at the same time after they interview the ones they want. But I prefer to believe they are nice people and wouldn't do that!
alija	Posted - 16 February 2010 16:35 Report as offensive my friend is at a london assessment day today - sorry!
champa	Posted - 16 February 2010 16:49 Report as offensive I'm waiting on the Birmingham office.... I hope their timetable is different
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 18 February 2010 09:49 Report as offensive Had mine for Birmingham and got it
champa	Posted - 18 February 2010 11:27 Report as offensive Did they say whether they had now filled all their spaces, or if there are going to be any later assessment days?
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 18 February 2010 11:30 Report as offensive they didnt say, i know there has already been 2 ass days, with 2 assessment sessions each day, morning and afternoon
sarah90	Posted - 18 February 2010 11:59 Report as offensive desperatelyseeking: congratulations on your offer!!! What sort of questions did they ask you? I have an interview with a regional firm soon, it's my first interview ever (eek!!), am soo scared!!!
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 18 February 2010 12:04 Report as offensive To be honest it was really just about me and my interests and the local area, nothing scary!
sarah90	Posted - 18 February 2010 12:07 Report as offensive Phew! thank you so much! lets hope I don't royally screw mine up lol. Congrats again on your placement!
Tag	Posted - 18 February 2010 12:48 Report as offensive Has anyone else got an offer for the Easter vac scheme? If so, do you know what the dates are?
brantastic	Posted - 18 February 2010 13:34 Report as offensive Have the people that have heard back mainly been applying for the Easter Scheme? Anyone heard anything about the Summer Scheme in London? I take it they've had at least 1 AC for that, but anyone got offers? clutches at straws
unlikely_lawyer	Posted - 20 February 2010 11:46 Report as offensive I was offered a place on the easter vac scheme on Wed. Maybe they're delaying the summer apps in order to deal with the more urgent Easter schemes first. Having said that, half of the candidates on my AC were summer applicants.
Sazzle353	Posted - 20 February 2010 15:33 Report as offensive Have got an assessment centre this week coming for Birmingham. I believe that they are happening throughout this week for the Summer Scheme.
Sazzle353	Posted - 20 February 2010 15:34 Report as offensive Anyone any information about what happens on an assessment day ? :o)
desperatelyseeking	Posted - 20 February 2010 16:50 Report as offensive mine was for summer. i dont think they make a distinction when offering vac shceme assessments
unlikely_lawyer	Posted - 21 February 2010 13:04 Report as offensive Assessment day was pretty straightforward: 1. A group activity - mostly assessing your negotiation/communication skills and business acumen. Be assertive without being overbearing. 2. Client role play - your role is to question the client to gauge enough info to then advise him. 3. Partner + HR interview - general interview q's, all vary from one interview to the next but mostly asking around your cv. You'll get the chance to meet several trainees. There is a fair bit of sitting around and waiting for others to finish their role plays etc so that'll help calm any last minute nerves. It's a piece of cake, you'll be fine. Just be yourself (if you're confident, articulate etc <- if not, practise)! Good luck, let me know how it goes!
RiverThames	Posted - 26 February 2010 16:45 Report as offensive How long to hear back after telephone interview?
Sazzle353	Posted - 26 February 2010 21:55 Report as offensive I got through to a vacation scheme for Easter :o) When is yours? xx
littleredbubble	Posted - 27 February 2010 14:58 Report as offensive any info on what to expect in the phone interview?
Tag	Posted - 27 February 2010 19:26 Report as offensive Sazzle do you have an Easter Scheme as well? Do you know the dates for it?
Sazzle353	Posted - 27 February 2010 20:20 Report as offensive Think its 12 - 16th April - do you know what dates yours is?
Tag	Posted - 28 February 2010 00:22 Report as offensive No I don't but I can't do those dates so hope they have more than one Easter Scheme...
RiverThames	Posted - 28 February 2010 11:27 Report as offensive How well (not) do you think you did in the telephone interview to be invited to an assessment centre? Were you confident you had done well?
Sazzle353	Posted - 01 March 2010 10:17 Report as offensive You could check the online form you submitted? I distinctly remember that there were three options to choose from and that would tell you if there is more than one date xx
Tag	Posted - 02 March 2010 16:27 Report as offensive Yeh there were, it just says 'Easter Scheme' - I'll have to find out, hopefully will get it sorted and see you there!
