Turning down a Training Contract?
This is really tough. I'm so sorry to hear you have to deal with this. I don't think you should ever have to brush things like this off and it doesn't matter how senior the person is - there are no excuses for being spoken to in that way. It's easy for me to say, but I don't think the point...- Jaysen

Rejection from open day - finding motivation
I agree with @Kubed here. Open days are extremely competitive. It's certainly not a given that you will be accepted and the reasons could range from the time in which you applied to the number of places available. I would encourage you to reflect on your application, but I promise you it's not...- Jaysen
