[QUOTE="FutureLawyer99, post: 132380, member: 19274"] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] I’ve been offered a vacation scheme and they’re looking for employment screening. I’ve just looked at my application form again for the first time since I submitted it. Having looked at it, I realised I have made some academic errors (both by accident). Firstly, I have put AAA in my A levels when it should be AAB. The firm does not have any A level requirements. Secondly, I lost my certificate transcripts a while back due to room renovations and I’ve just found them. By looking at them, I’ve found out that I have accidentally missed two modules out (both of which the grades are low) from my undergraduate transcript because I used autofill from a previous application form. The first missed module is from my first year, which didn’t count towards my degree. The second missed module was the lowest grade in my third year. I’ve also incorrectly put Jan 2022-23 as my LLM date when it should have been Jan 2021-22. However, all my other education and work experience records are accurate. As I have just received my formal offer and discovered this mistake, should I make the law firm aware of it now? So, that they know I’m being upfront about the mistake whilst notifying them immediately once I discovered it or should I wait until they conduct the pre-employment and screening checks? [/QUOTE]
