Only if you do it persistently or if you are rude about it.

In these situations, the first question I get people to ask themselves is do you need to find out (eg so you can plan other things) or do you want to find out (for peace of mind). If the latter, I’d generally avoid asking if you can. If finding out influences other things you will do, then it is fine to ask.

Advice I should've considered before I declined the family Christmas holiday in case I secured a winter vac scheme. 'Twas a lonely and PFO filled 2022 December for me 😂

Hi, hope everyone is doing well, got my fingers crossed for you all for the coming week!

Has anyone has done a Goodwin telephone interview (TI), or been progressed to AC previously at Goodwin, have any advice? I’d really really appreciate it - feel free to DM me if so!

thanks :)
i have a zoom interview tomorrow, never heard of a telephone interview but i applied for the spring vac scheme
