    Could you tape a solid coloured sheet to the wall behind you?

    Pre Employment Checks

    To add to this, the form gave the option to describe unpaid work as "work experience", "internship" or "volunteering". The screening company only contacted my place of volunteering to my knowledge. I'm still close with people at all my internship and work experience employers and they said they...

    Pre Employment Checks

    My firm checked the past 3 years for work history, but past 5 years for my education and addresses. No idea why.

    You seem to have conveniently ignored my comment where I said my opinion wasn't a universal truth and I wasn't projecting it as such. You seem to all be reading an awful lot into what I'm saying. All I expected is that Jessica actually respond to what I said instead of saying something that had...

    All I said was that something was my experience. I did not argue that russel group students are better and I did not argue that non-RG students are worse, and I don't view them that way either. In response, I got a comment that had nothing to do with what I said. Pointing it out was treated as a...

    As is shutting down a comment I made with a statement that had nothing to do with it.

    Then your response was a meaningless contradiction to something I didn't even say. So why even bother?

    I wasn't arguing that. I was arguing that standards are higher. The fact that UCL awards a high number of firsts has nothing to do with higher achievers in non-RGs being able to get 80+ in certain modules by virtue of their universities assessment standard.

    I know that the plural of anecdote isn't data, but that doesn't track when it comes to the people I've tutored. Those who I help out in non-RGs tend to get much higher grades for the same quality of work than those at say LSE or UCL.

    Even if you can they REALLY don't consider direct TC apps at all.

    If the pattern actually works out, I might! I'm planning on selling it on etsy.

    I started crocheting again recently! I was never particularly good at it, but I decided to self draft a pattern to make timmy and tommy nook from animal crossing because no one on etsy has made one for me to use yet haha

    Happy to help. For knitting (or crochet) patterns, the best place to go is Ravelry. So many are free and its all organised by difficulty, needle size, etc. Also, I learned mainly through youtube because of the many many many tutorials that exist, so even self teaching is simple. If you need any...

    I'm knitting a blanket. I recommend knitting as a hobby for anyone. It's a lot easier than people think and it makes you feel like you're actually being productive when you watch netflix for 4 hours. Also there are some good indie games to pick up if you want quick cheap fun on steam: omori...

    I didn't do an in person vac scheme, but my winter one was very different from what you're describing. From what I heard from trainees while I was there, it was as similar as they could possibly get it to being in person, including shadowing, doing real work, and very few assessments aside from...

    I know that for the winter vac they had to have extra ACs because they didn't fill all the spots in the ones they had already planned for. So I wouldn't worry.

    I think its unlikely that a firm will look down on you taking a year off work to complete further education. Many (possibly most? I don't know the stats), people don't work while completing their masters, so if you don't want to disclose your being a mother, talking about the masters likely...
