    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Hey Jess, re keeping track of which firms are responding and when, could you post it on the vacation scheme/training contract thread, specific to whether you applied for the winter, spring or summer vac scheme. Just makes it easier for everything to be in one place

    To be honest I would leave it, I doubt a firm would allow you to correct grammatical errors in the supplementary information section. They’ll just say you should of checked it before hand or could even ignore you request.
