I just found out that the name of my secondary school didn't get properly saved on to the application and was sent emptied.
Would I need to contact them and correct this?

Anyone know if CMS provides WG scores?

Anyone know if CMS provides WG scores?

From what I've heard, they dont apparently.

Has anyone had experience with Flex for paralegal positions? I'm hesitant to go through another agency interview process only to end up without any job offers. I previously interviewed with Accutrainee to be a paralegal, but they haven't had any job opportunities for me in months.

Dechert Vi and written exercise invite!

 

[F a v o u r]

I personally wouldn’t prioritise putting them in work experience as they aren’t really work experience (you don’t work when you are on them), and they are only one day.

Depending on the rest of the application form though, there may not be anywhere else to include them. In these instances, some people group them together along with virtual programmes and put them as one entry. The only time I would potentially think about highlighting it separately is if you attended a programme run by the firm you are applying to, but even then that isn’t always necessary because they know you attended the event!

Thank you!

I know the interview is CV blind as they say it on their website. So I'd imagine this also goes for the VI
