[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 169654, member: 2672"] There is some truth to this in some instances, so I don’t think you can say it’s “incorrect”. Like most aspects of recruitment it’s completely subjective and down to personal preferences. However, I have seen negative outcomes when a candidate has said at interview that they are not working full time to focus on applications off the back of a “what are you doing now” / “what have you been up to since you graduated question” because for many firms with more intense hours, they will wonder whether you are up to the pressure of working if you can’t work and still dedicate some time to application/recruitment processes. I don’t think this is the case for every candidate with every firm, but I have seen it enough to know it is a possibility. [/QUOTE]
