[QUOTE="wikawika, post: 85973, member: 15678"] I was picked out to do a vac scheme for a large international firm based on my excellent performance in a university class. (This opportunity was given by someone who came in to the uni from the firm). I received the offer to undertake the vac scheme, and I was able to skip all the application and interview stages. The organiser gave me the contact of an intermediary who I should talk to about the details of the scheme, which is due to start in less than 7 days now. This intermediary (I believe it's a legal assistant or receptionist) has been periodically forgetting to reply to my emails. I've been enquiring about whether the scheme is taking place online or offline (covid issue) for months, but I did not receive any confirmation. This is made more difficult as the scheme is overseas. So I asked if i could do the scheme fully online. The assistant agreed. After having to send several reminder emails, she sent me the contract which I signed and sent back. I was told I'd receive a laptop and a call from someone to explain a bit about how the vac scheme will be organised, but with a few working days to go until the scheme, I still haven't heard back or received the laptop. I'm feeling confused and ignored. Should I continue sending reminder emails? Should I contact someone in a higher position? Should I just wait until the day of, and hope for the best? [/QUOTE]
