    Thank you all so much. This was exactly what I was looking for. I’m going to input all my information today I think, I still have quite a few outgoing firms. I just have to fix a mess up with uni work and then schedule in a break down, but after that I’m doing it! :)

    Morning :) So, I’m completely flailing under my paper filing system for how I’m organising my applications and I’d be really grateful to see examples of how other people have organised their applications this cycle. Does anyone have an outline/blueprint/ excel spreadsheet that they’ve used...
