    My toxic trait: checking my FF portal 4 times a day and giving myself a heart attack every time
    Only four times a day?!?!

    Has anyone been unsuccessful for a VS, but then re-applied for the firm's direct TC in the same cycle and been successful with that? It would be great to speak to anyone who has :)

    Hey, I'm applying for a VS through Apply4Law. One of the sections asks about the details for an LPC that I have taken or intend to take, specificially date and provider. I'm an undergrad so havent done the LPC yet, and I don't know when I would take it (depends on if I get a TC!). Do I fill in the section or just leave it blank?

    Links rejection too... 😞 I was tempted not to check the portal because I was convinced that would bring me bad luck, but here we are.

    Something I find frustrating with Links' new CAPP-based approach to recruitment and CC's new priority system is that the two firms that literally offer the highest number of training contracts offer the most arbitrary-seeming and lottery-like recruitment experiences. 😭 Anyway, onwards and upwards!

    It sucks but try to see the positive side. Do you really want to work at a company that by your own words treats you in an 'arbitrary-seeming' and 'lottery-like' way? I think that says a lot about how they would treat you as a trainee in general. Your best bet is to look at this as a dodged bullet (for this cycle at least).
