    I was asked to give my availability over two weeks for an interview. I received an email today confirming the date but I realised it's not the most ideal date for me. Is it okay to ask to change the date or do I risk reflecting badly? @Jessica Booker

    I have currently booked a slot on Allhires booking system - I want to amend the slot but if my preferred slot is not available, would I be able to reselect the original slot I booked. Thank you.

    There are 4 vacation scheme 'slots' and I have selected the last one that runs. Do you think this put me at a disadvantage - I wanted to apply to the 3rd one out of 4 but the spaces were all filled up.

    If I have not heard back from Mayer Brown after job simulation, is it a PFO or are they sending our invites staggered? I am a bit concerned because I realised I did not receive an email to confirm completion after the assessment.
