Hello everyone,

I hope you are well!

Unfortunately it appears that I have not been successful in obtaining a spot on LW’s first year scheme, I would greatly appreciate if someone could provide me with some feedback on my application questions. I truly believed this was a strong application, and had put so much work into building myself up as an applicant and working on my soft skills/confidence in general.

I don’t have much support in the way of a support system, and would really appreciate any help or feedback if this isn’t too much to ask. I’m positive I can turn things around :)
