    I am not sure about this but I would assume that it might be okay. I personally would recommend choosing another room to record in or move your washing drying to another area until you finish with the video interview.

    Some firms definitely do so make sure to check with the firms you have got an offer from! I know that Goodwin for instance offered accommodation for some vacation scheme students when I did my vacation scheme last year and I think that was really nice.

    If you concerns around things like this I would always follow your gut. I am sure that it will not affect you in any way but if I was in your shoes now, I would probably have the same concerns and so I would try and create a larger bank of questions to ask interviewers and try to diversify the...

    Unfortunately I cannot because we do not have books, we use workbook but they will give it to you in class.

    You can but I would personally leave it since you have provided them with the information they asked. I understand it might be a bit frustrating but it is nobody's fault and I would try to not disturb them too much. You might want to say that you can still see your grades from your end but I...
