Resolutions for 2022 🎉🤞🤔💪
Thanks for creating this thread, @AvniD! Lovely idea. My two resolutions for this year are: To remember that my health comes first before anything else. To give a bit of context, I worked SO many hours last month, without taking any breaks, that I made myself ill. I didn't give myself rest so...- Iqra

DAC Beachcroft AC outcome
I think you should wait another week or two (if you can) instead of chasing them. It's only been a week since you've done it, many firms require more time to make decisions. It may be that they're still conducting ACs and therefore still assessing candidates?- Iqra

Iqra's journey to a TC
OC interview went well - I had to give a 5-minute presentation and then it was a quick Q&A. Interviewed for another 30 minutes. Lovely people, I was interviewed by a partner and a member from the grad recruitment team. I'm due to hear back from the firm next week. CMS vac scheme has now ended...- Iqra

Iqra's journey to a TC
I want to treat this like a diary, so thought I'd write an update on my journey so far. Just finished the vac scheme with Osborne Clarke.

Should I mention an upcoming VS in a TC app?
Personally wouldn't do this, no. The work history section is for you to highlight what you've already done (eg employment, work placements) and if you're lacking work experience, then you can include open days and extracurricular activities.- Iqra

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
Those who've had PFOs from Osborne Clarke (despite attending their events etc) I don't know how helpful it'll be but let me know if you want me to have a look at the app and see what could have been the issue. I totally would've been upset too if I didn't get the AC invite, because I attended...- Iqra
