This was my dream firm. I told them my education end date is 2023 as I thought it meant the date I’ll finish the LPC. After submitting I re read and realised they want the date I finish university. Such a stupid error but I’m so worried they’ll disregard my application now? It’s Irwin Mitchell

Quite possibly where they think you might not be eligible to start a TC in time. I would contact them and ask whether that can be updated and whether your application can still be reviewed.

Dear Early Careers,

I have inputted the 'education end date' on my application as 2023. This is the date I will finish the LPC, however my degree course finishes in 2022, I am just writing to confirm this is what I meant on my application as I am not sure which date you would have required.

Kindest Regards,
Chloe Moran


This is what I wrote last night. No response yet. Devastated really I just hope they’ll understand why I put that

No one may even be in the office until the 4th - I'd just try to be patient and wait to hear back.

Ah I didn’t realise! Very true. Try to put it in the back of my mind for now. Thank you though
Try not to worry - your email was good and if the wording wasn't explicit then I wouldn't worry too much - it may even prompt them to make it a bit more clear if anything :)

Please could you tell me if they changed this for you?
