    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    Yeah, good to know, was losing hope. Sent off an email to all remaining firms to see if I have been rejected or not. (Funny, I sent the one to slater and gordon prior to the call so she emailed me back to confirm what was said, hope this doesnt look bad!) Gadens - First Round interview - 26th...

    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    It does suck when they don't give you a chance to show them the things you really want but from the sounds of things most people were creative enough to make it work. I stuffed up my question about why I wanted to work there but I hope I made it up by showing my knowledge about them in...

    lol, surely med is even harder and time consuming than law, though people always need doctors. I do wonder what will happen when some firms are offering to the same group of people and then end up with less acceptances that they expected...

    congrats on getting them done flamearrows...waiting for second round sucks! I agree that making them like/remember you is key! Some firms are leaving it quite late to notify people...dibbs letting people know yesterday when their interviews are next week...has anyone heard from Slater and...

    Sucks but seems we are victims of the economic climate. My b/f went for an interview at EY and they have basically cut the length of their positions in half and are taking far fewer students!

    Congrats :) Tell us how it goes, I did so many apps its hard to remember which firms do what and what each one is like! I am starting to think my one interview offer is all I am going to get.

    chosing courses based on salaries?

    Depends on the course, if its a long and difficult...interest is key. Most of those people who get into law for the salary and not interest drop out of do not do well...its too long and hard to motivate yourself with money alone...On the other hand, more general 3 year courses seem to be easier...

    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    I'm not to sure how they will take starting in Feb because unless I am wrong, the law ones usually end then. I think they are usually accomodating but it all depends on when they are starting and finishing and if they are flexible. No harm in asking! I am not too sure about bank interviews but...

    the pill

    No worries. Yeah its always good to be safe anyway, it can be a pain in the arse but I'd rather put up with it for a little while then a baby! I've been on antibiotics and same thing... I did find it interesting that when giving me the antibiotics neither the medical centre doctor (not my...

    the pill

    OK, you trust who you choose but you have yet to provide anything convincing besides saying 'its stuffs it up'. Please don't belittle our decision, I have seen what NOT taking the pill can do for some.

    the pill

    Its not too bad now actually :) Better than no pills at all, plus there are MUCH worse things to have. Yeah, I just know for a lot of people the pill is the best way to be mature and responsible.

    the pill

    I have iron absorbtion problems too :) Re: Hormonal Treatment, its true. I take oroxine which a synthetic hormone to regulate thyroid function as my thryroid doesn't function properly. Insulin is also a hormone. Keep in mind we don't just pop pills for the sake of it

    the pill

    First of all, for some people they naturally have a hormonal imbalance and the pill corrects it. It also helps those with terrible cramps, heavy bleeding and/or endometriosis. I also know a few people who have had scares with condoms (sliding off, breaking, forgetting to wear them) The...

    the pill

    I am aware you are a guy. Theres no reason why either of you can't read it, it was just a suggestion if you want to be 100% sure as I am not a doctor nor do I know which pills she is on or is switching from. Otherwise like Kwayera said generally the forumaltions are the same, the 7 day rule is a...
