Essentially, I'm the rebound if they get rejected by one of the candidates they liked more lol. I'm pretty sure firms do this pretty regualarly, but this is the first time I've ever gotten actual written confirmation of it.
Just thought it was funny

On Hold
Got an email from a firm that started off like a typical rejection (very qualified, lots of people, economic constraints, etc...) then ended with a sentence about putting me on a hold list and notifying me within 30 days of whether or not I get an offer.

Re: On Hold
I got one of these too from Skadden NY. They weren't as direct about me being on hold, but that's the only way to explain the language of the letter.

Re: On Hold
I got one of these too. It was basically a letter saying the interviewer thought I was really cool and that the firm would be a good fit for me, and that they were still seriously considering my application. I know they've already done dings and CBs, so I can't imagine what this letter could be other than a hold.
I don't suppose anything on-hold people could do would be helpful, so I guess I'll just wait on it...

Re: On Hold
I got a call from the person who interviewed me at OCI saying that I was on a waitlist and they were still interested in me. Two days later I got an offer. My only offer. Very sweet.
