[QUOTE="vera.mekhonoshina, post: 215991, member: 30780"] Hey [USER=41861]@lawyerladyhopefully[/USER]! First of all, it's great that you are thinking ahead about the timing of your applications and taking the rolling/non-rolling deadlines into account. It is definitely an important consideration - there is nothing more frustrating than drafting a strong application but sending it off too late (I've been there before myself). I completely agree with [USER=41864]@trainingcontractapplicant[/USER] 's advice. I would caution against applying on the first day just for the sake of speed, especially if you feel like you can add value and refine your points after speaking with the trainees. At the end of the day, it is a matter of striking the right balance between submitting a quality application, but also doing so at an appropriate time - not too late, but not too rushed either. I would advise getting your answers into the best possible shape before your calls, so that once you've spoken with trainees, you can quickly add any relevant insights and send off your application :) [/QUOTE]
