    It's updated since then, but I haven't received an email or anything like that. My account just says "Completed" - what does yours say?

    My Freshfields application says it was updated on August 6th but I haven't had any communication and I can't see anything. Has anyone else had this?

    It was awful! I immediately cringed and one of the interviewers started to laugh. I said "don't laugh at me, this is the worst moment of my life", so he laughed harder. It went entirely over the head of the other interviewer. But then it all worked out. I also fell over in an interview for a TC...

    In one interview, I said "Bank of America Meryl Streep" instead of "Bank of America Merrill Lynch" - I was still offered the position. You never know...

    You're the first generation. You and your sister are in the same generation so your generation was the first, even though you're the second person in that generation.

    Hi Jessica, I'm studying for a Master's in Law (which is a QLD) after doing a non-law undergrad. I just received my June exam results and got 85, 85 and 75. I've applied to a number of firms for training contracts and haven't yet heard back. Should I be making contact to tell them I got my...

    I'm sorry - this is so hard to read. I hope you're ok. I received a vacation scheme rejection and when I requested feedback they only gave positive feedback, when I pushed a bit harder they said that there really was nothing more I could have done. The hardest part is that it makes you feel...
