    Thank you Asmee :) Unfortunately I am not in a position to do the LPC, but I'm hoping to find a job that will help me develop some transferrable skills before the next cycle begins.

I have just finished the GDL and do not know where to go from here. I would really appreciate some advice from anyone else that has been in a...

    With regards to Boodle Hatfield I am not completely sure what is happening with direct to TC applications as I applied to do the vacation scheme. All I know is that last week it was not only vac schemers that were interviewed. They added an extra round of virtual interviews (a HR and then a...

    Self-Esteem

    Hi Jessica, Thank you for sharing this, I'm happy to see that the state school representation figure has improved. The figure I got was from a 2018 report by a social mobility organisation called STRIVE, I've previously attended events organised by them. I respect the fact that the figure...

    Self-Esteem

    Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to let you know that you are definitely not alone in feeling this way. I was ironically going to respond to this post last night to only feel really low as I received another TC rejection. It's such a tough process, especially at the moment as so many opportunities...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker, thank you for your help! Some of it has been given in advance (a day or so), some of it we will see on the day. Each session is half an hour.

    Hi @Jessica Booker, I have a vacation scheme next week that has been reduced from two weeks to three days via Zoom. Most of the scheme involves case studies held by different departments. I am a bit nervous as the firm only offers a handful of TC's, often not taking people from the vacation...
