[QUOTE="Leke, post: 5506, member: 203"] Hey Helena, Sorry for my late reply. Here are the answers to your questions. So can I ask you did 12 direct TC apps with no VS behind you? Is that right? Yes (but I had other experiences though). Do you feel that your work at the FT boosted your self-esteem and therefore you came over as more confident? I do not think so to be honest. I had three AC's over the summer, one was before FT, one during FT, and one after FT. It was nice though to end the AC saying I was working at FT but I do not recall having to talk about my FT experience during my interview (maybe once as a side). Supposing, I was applying now maybe the experience would have boosted me. Can I also ask how do you go about getting a mentor in a firm? Was that through a specific channel? My University had a career mentor scheme I applied to. If your University does not have one I'd recommend reaching out to people on LinkedIn (the newly qualified or trainees are usually the easiest to reach out to sometimes). Let me know if you need me to expand on anything! Thanks for the questions. Many thanks, Leke [/QUOTE]
