    My graduation falls in the middle of my three week scheme, would be be inappropriate/hurt my chances of securing tc if I ask to have it off?

    Mine took 2 working days to come through :) so I’d imagine something similar. I personally would chase after 5 working days

    Totally recommended this, after finishing my cycle in my final year unsuccessful I secured a legal assistant role with one of my ‘top’ firms. Was so helpful in realising that firm really wasn’t for me and I’ve totally reassessed what I actually wanted out of a firm for a training contract

    @Jessica Booker have you ever had experience of a firm recalling offers after they’ve made them as they’ve decided to continue to do acs? I didn’t even know it was possible, it’s just happened to me and luckily it wasn’t the firm I was going to accept but it’s very cheeky, apparently I’ll still...
