hi, sorry this is not relevant, but do you remember how many work experiences you can add in linklaters application form? I applied direct TC yet i only can add 2 work experience. this is weird.
Hi - I think this is the case that you can only add two entries to your work experience. It’s been mentioned for the last couple of years on the forum.

Hi Jessica - thanks for confirming. In your view, should we add the two experiences we think are most relevant or most recent?

    FYI - if you applied to Accutrainee for a TC and didn’t get a confirmation email, email the HR Manager Andrea to check if they actually received your application. I applied two months ago and didn’t hear back so I emailed. Turns out the applications they have from me were from three years ago!

    Does anyone know, at what point do firms contact your previous employers? Once you receive the TC offer or right before commencing your PGDL/SQE/TC? Thanks.
    I think mine did it for the vacation scheme but other firms do things very differently so I would bear this in mind. However, I would not worry too much about this at this stage, they will email you when they are contacting or doing their due diligence on you anyway (sometimes!).

    Thanks for your response. Could I please PM regarding this? Had a follow-up question.
