Simmons feedback call today Very in depth and I really appreciate the amount of effort they’ve done into having a lengthy feedback call with everyone post AC. From my feedback I can see where I went wrong and what they were looking for. It is still a shame as I was told I had a great interview...- Legalstalker

If it is paid they will not allow it at all not allowed to take a paid employment and if i do it cannot be fulltime working which a VS is. I work for a company that is pretty strict on things like this due to the nature of the work. I don't think i can do a week off unpaid as i am going on...- Legalstalker

@Jessica Booker What are the main reasons for an applicant failing background checks prior to a VS? I just did mines and it was more detailed than my job’s one which required us to have Security clearance! but did wonder what firms who decline you for.

wow Simmons PFO! To say I'm shocked is an understatement strung me along for 4 weeks post AC, didn't answer any calls or emails. I can happily say that was my best performance in an AC. Genuinely looking forward to my feedback call.- Legalstalker
