    I have booked it for late March now but I was concerned about them making offers on a rolling basis and wanted to make sure I wasn't harming my chances. Probably overthinking it tbf. Also, with regards to the CV the recruiter requested from me. I am going to keep it only 2 pages but I was...

    Thank you, Jessica! Also, sorry for bombarding you with questions, but does the timing of your AC have any effect on the outcome? I have been asked to book mine and I am feeling overwhelmed with diss work atm so I am considering booking for late March as opposed to next week.

    @Jessica Booker Hi Jessica! The recruiter reached out to me after I submitted my work experience programme application and has asked for my most updated CV and suggested a phone call. I haven't been provided any other details so I will prepare for it as I would for a phone interview. I wanted...

    I don't really know what I am looking for here by asking this, but how do you guys approach rejections knowing that you spent a lot of time making those applications and ultimately could have dedicated that time towards studies/other stuff instead? I am tempted to blame myself for not being...

    Thank you, Jessica! Coincidentally, I did hear back from them (for the first time!) after making my post and got rejected. Perhaps the trick is to post about all the ghosting experiences on TCLA 🤣🤣

    This isn't a vac scheme question so sorry for randomly putting this here, but I applied for a law-related but non-legal graduate role with a company in London and the recruiter has not been in touch?
