    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, thank you for your response. I do have an explanation/mitigating circumstances for the resit. In a nutshell, I was undergoing some family problems within my household at the time. Would this be something that is taken into consideration on a case-by-case basis?

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, This week I received the first batch of my LPC results and I found out that I received a ‘Not Yet Competent’ in one of my skills exams. However, I have passed all my core electives with a merit and the rest of my skills. As the skills are ungraded, my LPC result will not be capped...

    I have a vacation scheme coming up and I’ve never done one before. Does anyone have any pointers on what to wear for socials during the vacation scheme? Any tips would be appreciated. @Jessica Booker it would be great to hear your opinion on this as well.

    Pre-employment Check / Disclosing a firm with which a Training Contract is Signed

    I agree with Jessica. My update on this situation was that I explained my situation to grad recruitment and they were understanding of it and said it’s fine just to send them an update of the results now that I’ve realised the mistake. So I’d recommend speaking to the firm and just being honest...

    Pre-employment Check / Disclosing a firm with which a Training Contract is Signed

    @Jessica Booker I’ve been offered a vacation scheme and they’re looking for employment screening. I’ve just looked at my application form again for the first time since I submitted it.

    I’ve just completed an assessment centre and I did not finish the last part of a written task. Is it detrimental to my chances of gaining a VS? I am really upset about it 😥

    In an article written exercise, should I reference my research during my written piece? For example ‘according to X....’. Or, is it acceptable for me to just state my research without referencing it? I’m so used to referencing sources for academic articles but I’m not sure if it applies to law...
