Realised i‘ve been referring to a firms name with an and instead of & in my work experience section for my applications, do you think this could be a reason for rejections?

Is the shoosmiths second stage automatic?

 

[lonelycruise]

For those submitting their R&G apps, did your confirmation of submission email start with your surname and weird spacing with the address?
E.g 'Dear Smith,'

I doubt it'd be grounds for rejection, but firms with an ampersand have stressed its importance at open events/application workshops. Attention to detail and whatnot.

If it's only your work experience section, and not the name of the firm you're actually applying to, you'll be fine!
