I am thinking of applying for a paralegal role at the same firm that I am waiting for an answer from for a vacation scheme application (post-app - I have not been invited to interview yet). Is this ok? - would it have any impact on my vacation scheme application?
They are two different teams, the HR is different from the GR team and they have two different hiring models.

    I completely forgot to submit the written part of my AC and the grad rec emailed me today to complete it (it was due 6 days ago and my life has gotten so hectic that I just forgot to do it)

    Well fully anticipating a PFO now 😩

    how do you go about sorting accommodation for a 2 week scheme in London, looking at budget hotels but they aren’t very budget friendly🥲
    A lot of halls are open to the public or young professionals. They are still costly sometimes but it can be cheaper than hotels and air bnbs. For example, I have booked a room in a Unite Students in Whitechapel - therefore, I do not need to travel to the firm as it is within walking distance. If your scheme is in July more halls will be available but not so much in June, I found that out 🤣 but Unite has a lot of good centrally located halls if you do not want to travel too far.

    This place is another hall that is £28-£35 per night and not too far away from a lot of firms too https://aa4s.co.uk/summer-accommodation/
