not hugely in my experience but it might differ by course :smile: shouldn't be too bad though for anything though.


What year are you in and what are you studying?

Is it true that 2nd year is significantly difficult to the 1st.

No not really, I am falling into a trap of overqualified and underqualified

This one company emailed back last night a standard rejection email, sent on a Saturday night at 10pm

Clearly they didn't look at it

On the plus side, they are emailing you back. Most of mine didn't even let me know. Over qualified, just don't tell them you have a degree, you don't have to declare it i didn't think?

Well 1 has not got bad, that been 3 weeks now, so I think it safe to say that is a no

Most places say 4 weeks = unsuccessful, and i have waited longer.

You lose nothing by applying and experience counts so it probably is a good idea.
