Does anyone have any strategies for deciding what to keep and what to scrap from an old application while reapplying to the same firm? I'm planning to rewrite my applications but want to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

    Just received Links Capp report and my lowest scoring was motivation :eek: 🤣:confused: lol
    I honestly think some CAPP assessments./online GBA are vv questionable - I took the exact same practice test right after another last year and got completely different results. One minute I am prioritising teamwork and the next I am letting the whole firm down with my inability to collaborate. Hun, pick a side 😩

    Probably a stupid question, if I have submitted a CV to a firm in November, and didn't hear any updates ever since, then I have gained more new experiences. Should I send an email to the firm to ask whether I can submit a new CV for their consideration?

    Could someone pls tell me what the A&O vac scheme questions are? Cannot seem to access them until I fill in all the previous pages of the form and haven't got round to doing that yet. Thanks :)

    1. Please describe the key learnings/skills you’ve gained through work experience, positions of responsibility, personal experience or extracurricular activities (250 words)
    2. Outline how you would apply these skills to the trainee role at A&O, in order to be successful. (250 words)


    Hey, was this after passing the test?
    Thanks! Just those two?
