    No need to be so hostile, it was simply a suggestion in case you were unaware as a lot of people don't realise that a lot of university's allow continued use of the careers services. FYI I'm a graduate, and a full-time working professional halfway through my LPC at one of the big two providers...

    Depending on how long ago you graduated many university careers services can be used for 3/4 years after graduation.

    8 hours to proof read one application?! That seems rather overboard. I don’t think I’ve ever spent that proofreading masters essays of 7.5-10k words let alone an app with maybe 1-2k words 😂

    Just to caveat this this also applies if you work in-house. I’ve had to pull out of a vac scheme before as it was a firm currently engaged as external counsel for the company I worked for at the time and the conflict was deemed too risky. Hasn’t been a problem for other internships and interview...

    It is a very good score, but it isn’t just the WG result that gets you to the next stage. For other firms I have scored 97 and 98 and not progressed any further than WG…

    I've also seen on Assessment Centre attendee on LinkedIn under work experience on more than one occasion... I get that it is an achievement considering the vast number of applicants but IMO it doesn't add anything of value to your profile

    In general yes they are looking for immediate starts or asap but legal recruitment isn’t fast - it’s usually several rounds of interviews and then background checks etc so start date is usually quickest 4-6 weeks after the offer is made. Interviews will again take 4-6 weeks. And you often don’t...

    Sorry to read you are going through this - I’ve been struggling with long covid since summer 2020 and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Hope you are seeing progress with your recovery.
