Hi @Abbie Whitlock

Do you have any insight as to how to go about structuring an answer to this question? It is only 150 words

‘At Weightmans, our three core values form the foundation of our culture and underpin all aspects of our work. These values are:



- Integrity

- Teamwork and respect

- Collaboration and innovation



Please select one of these values and discuss what it means to you personally ‘

Thank you so much in advance for any assistance!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, firms not reimbursing travel for ACs is crazyyyyy. I've got one later this week, and I literally don't wanna go anymore because I simply don't have £120 for a train to London, and once again I'm having to get a shift covered, which is -£100 in lost earnings. This stuff is too stressful.

Usually I try to stay positive but I think 4 post AC PFOs are getting to me. I have never felt so low and my confidence has never plummeted this bad before.

I already had imposter syndrome but this just exacerbates it. I think I'm going to take some time off and just throw myself into my studies as much as possible given how much studying I've lost doing applications. All my friends are getting the schemes, I am super happy and proud of them but I can't help but feel like there's something wrong with me and that everything was a fluke.

I hope that if anyone else out there is feeling the same way, just know you're not alone! but it really is tough and every time I think about it I feel like crying haha. Hang in there guys <3

aw elle im sorry to hear this. i think just try to keep things in perspective. u got invited to what like 5 ACs?? thats mad impressive and most ppl don’t get to say that!! you literally beat out like idk 95% of the competition? and then there are so many factors that play into final decisions - luck being one of the biggest ones. and then it could also js be a matter of how well they think ud fit in there. doesnt mean ur any less accomplished of a person. keep ur head and remember u have a vs in the bag that u worked so hard for and deserve

The first day, so, most probably. There are four days.

Just had Akin AC - not sure how commercial bit went! The partners were quite judgy and I got questions wrong. But the rest of it was fine. How holistic are these processes do you think?

CRS rejection post app

I am sorry to hear that! What exactly did they say in the rejection email? They just sent me an email saying that they are still reviewing applications. Did you receive the same one?
