Yes, that is correct - I just put the three most relevant/professional service type jobs I have done!I am a bit confused about the Work Experience section of Addleshaw Goddard's application. Can we really only include 3 experiences?
It depends on the circumstances - extenuating circumstances are not defined by what the circumstances actually are, but more as to how they particularly impacted you. Two people could have the same condition and with one person they could miss lectures every week, while with the next person they just may have had an issue with one exam/assessment. It’s important to focus on the impact rather than the circumstance.@Jessica Booker do you think that being diagnosed with an auto immune condition whilst studying for my LPC which affected my attendance counts as “extenuating circumstances”?
Thank you!I’ve always used that section to specify any awards I have received so I think you would be fine to put it in there
I did make them aware and told them I was having blood tests etc as I was not yet diagnosed as diagnosis took months and have only formally received the diagnosis now. But having missed probably about 30-40% of lessons because of how tired I was (which I now know was due to this condition), it obviously had an impact on my learning if that makes sense.It depends on the circumstances - extenuating circumstances are not defined by what the circumstances actually are, but more as to how they particularly impacted you.

For instance, did you make your university aware of the inability to attend? And if so, did you receive reasonable adjustments? If you didn’t make the university aware, then was it considered serious enough (eg was it just a couple of missed days Vs months of lack of attendance).
Definitely something to mention in forms then based on that.I did make them aware and told them I was having blood tests etc as I was not yet diagnosed as diagnosis took months and have only formally received the diagnosis now.

Only with your permission, but they will definitely contact your current employer at some stage. Usually, it will only be 2-3 months before you start your TC though.Hi @Jessica Booker hope you are doing well. Could you please tell me, if I end up getting a TC, will the firm contact my current employer? How common is it if the answer to my question is yes? Thanks.
Understood. Just a follow up question here. What do people tend to do when they have an AC for a TC but also do a full-time job elsewhere. Do they lie and take the day off for the AC or do they tend to be honest with their current employers?Only with your permission, but they will definitely contact your current employer at some stage.

Depends on their relationship with the employer and the nature of their job.Understood. Just a follow up question here.

Grad Rec told me you don't need to enter every module, but you can if you want. So you could just put your overall degree.Guys ! It is a bit confusing. Do I need to fill in the university, the year of completion and the country with every subject/ Grade in Addleshaw Goddard application ?
Thanks.
Thanks for clarification. However, I put all the grades (LLB, LLM, GDL, LPC: more than 50 grades) and submitted the application this afternoon.Grad Rec told me you don't need to enter every module, but you can if you want. So you could just put your overall degree.
Grad rec told you this? Is someone able to confirm whether this is true?Grad Rec told me you don't need to enter every module, but you can if you want. So you could just put your overall degree.

How long it is nor whether it’s legal or non legal shouldn’t be the deciding factor.If an application only lets you input 3 relevant work experiences - I have 2 vacation schemes to input. For the 3rd one, I could either put a legal work experience that was 3 years ago or editorial work experience that was 2 years ago. Would it be better to put the legal work experience from 3 years ago because its law related, or the editorial work experience to show more variety/because it was more recent i.e. 2 years ago?
@Jessica Booker do you have any advice?
