What would you guys do when allhires has deleted an entire work experience that you included in a submitted application? I checked three times before sending my application, but from now on, I will take screenshots before sending my applications out! @Jessica Booker any suggestions? I am not even angry because I cannot change things, but I think that the system needs to be fixed!
I’d go to AllHires and ask them to manually change the form for you and to fix the issue.

Hello! Does anyone know whether (realistically) needing a visa will put me at a disadvantage for vacation schemes and training contracts? (I studied at a UK university but am from the EU and don't fit into the pre-settlement scheme). @Jessica Booker

Thank you!
The disadvantage is indirect - firms are likely to have a cap on the number of TCs they can offer to those needing a work permit, and so if a firm has 50 TCs but can only offer a maximum of 10 of those 50 to people who need a work permit, there are effectively fewer training contracts you are competing for.

    I’d definitely email the firm and ask that it be included. Dependent on their resource and ATS platform, they should be able to make a note of it when reading your application.

    Personally, the same thing happened to me with Vantage. Unfortunately, it was the experience I was most proud of - so I emailed the firm with the experience and its respective dates. They took it into account.

    I don’t think there’s a risk of it looking bad either, as that same firm went on to invite me to an AC.

    So don’t worry too much about it.

    If you find it’s happening across numerous applications. I’d flag it with the AllHires - maybe there is a bug on their end that needs looking into x

    Congrats! Hope it goes well for you :)

    How did you find the VI? And If you don’t mind me asking, what were the questions? I’m doing mine tomorrow. Thanks
    So I can’t disclose the questions (rules of the forum) but I would say just prep competency answers and go think about different examples you could use for key skills like time management, responsibility etc
    Good luck!
