Sorry to hear this! The experience will make you 10x stronger in experience for the next one though, you've got this 🤞

YH tbh after the interview I realised what people mean by an interview is a two-way street. I really did not find it enjoyable and I know that experience would have remained with me even if I got it.
 
Hey, it is very likely that the firm will get in touch with you as Dentons did with me. Alternatively, personally, I would get in touch with the firm and explain the situation. It is not your fault, it is a technical issue.
Did you reach out to the firm and explain? Not really sure what to do tbh @Jessica Booker do you have any advice?

Yeah, I totally agree! I just e-mailed Dentons and they were very understanding, I sent them my work experience as a Word Document.

This may be a dumb question, but here I am :) When a firm asks whether you applied to them previously, should I put 'yes' If I applied for a paralegal position or do they just mean vs/training contracts?
