[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 30839, member: 2672"] If you have gone through a recruitment process for your vac scheme, the firm will have seen enough potential in you that means in no way they see you as an imposter - in fact the only person who will is you. One of the benefits of no longer being tied to firms means I can be quite frank about things on here. Those A-Level grades others have mean very little, those cool hobbies also mean very little in the grand scheme of things too. Just because your grades/experiences are different, does not make them less impressive and in fact it maybe the case that they are even more impressive if it is clear you haven’t gained them by everything being given to you on a silver platter. Firms will admire the distance you have come not the point you are at now. The distance will say a lot more about you and your character. That is what will be important to firms, as it will also be a better indicator of how far you could continue to go. [/QUOTE]
