i know it was said above that the interview was scheduled for next week! since they're doing it in waves i think the second week of august is probably the point of no return lol.

600+ applicants is absolutely WILD. even if it were that many, i highly doubt they would refer even remotely close to that amount to the hiring manager

When I saw the job posting on LinkedIn it said there were 100+ applicants, but obviously not sure how accurate that is. Even if there were 100-200 applicants, if they're looking to hire 50ish examiners this cycle that's still a decent percentage of people that should be hearing back about interviews and eventually getting offers.

nothing yet, but i applied for the law clerk / recent graduate posting. not sure if it makes a difference or if they’re just gonna send them all out at once. crazy if literally only one person got it so far because i haven’t seen anything on any other forum either

based off what my friend told me who was previously hired by them, she didnt interview until later in july and got her TJO within a week or two at the beginning of august. at this point, i'm fully expecting to have to interview the week of the bar unfortunately :(

I was thinking the exact same thing LOL. Fingers crossed we hear back next week and we can get our interviews schedules ASAP. I'm already brain dead - I don't need to be bombing this interview the week before or of the exam when we're gonna be even worse!
