    Thank for letting me know! Sorry I forgot to mention that she used a different email. I think using a different email should be safe. Cause like you said, worse case scenario I’ll just be straight up rejected.

    What’s there to stop me from applying to a firm I was rejected by for a vacation scheme again this summer for a direct training contract? Like the firm I want to apply to says they only allow one application per recruitment cycle but I know people who have applied to firms twice in the same...

    Yeah it’s just annoying cause now I’m behind on all my uni work and I have nothing to show for it. And the fact they couldn’t even bothered to give the feedback on the email is just really frustrating. I love the firm but they have THE WORST graduate recruitment I’ve ever seen because it’s rude...

    No, you have to go through the process of ringing them up and scheduling a person to talk to you about it but seeing just how long it took to hear back in the first place, I’ll probably be in my 3rd year of uni by then

    Hi @Jessica Booker , I just found out that I failed post-AC for White & Case for their summer scheme and I was wondering if you think I’d be better off trying for winter next year than summer. I feel like my AC went really well (I haven’t received any feedback from White & Case despite this...

    Oh I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s great to show commitment but I’m just saying my ego would be bruised if I was rejected over the phone. It’s like the whole “curiosity killed the cat” idiom.

    This is what scares me from calling White & Case cause I’d probably start crying on the phone if they called me just to reject me 😭
