    I second this honestly, it's frustrating to see those rejections come in. And I know so many people who haven't done half the things that I have on my CV progress and end up with Paralegal roles and TC.

    Do you know if there is a way to check which TC a person has applied for. I don't remember if I ticked the 2027 or the 2028 box🥲

    I wanted some insights into one of CMS's training contract questions: What impact do you want to make at CMS? Is this another way of saying 'Why CMS?' or is it asking something else? Any help will be helpful!
