Spent days preparing (okay… creeping). Double-checked it was virtual so I could take an extended lunch instead of burning another vacation day from my full-time job.
Casual Friday, but interview-ish enough not to raise suspicion. Drove to a shopping plaza. Circled the lot looking for a secluded parking spot during the lunch rush. Hotspotted my iPad. Then had to MacGyver it onto my dashboard because bucket seats and laps don’t mix.

Logged into Google Meet.

Waited.

Got timed out.

Logged back in.

Waited.

Emailed.

Waited some more.

Forty-five minutes later, I accepted I’d just been stood up… by a law firm.
I haven’t been ghosted this hard since 1999. 😞😂

Hi everyone,
I’m a returning part-time Law Clerk student entering my 6th semester at Seneca. I’ve completed five semesters already and have just 7 courses left to finish my diploma, so I’m really hoping to see it through.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen ancillary fees this high.
I’m taking 3 fully online courses, and my fees are:

Tuition: $807
Ancillary fees: $487.09
Total: $1,294.09

I understand ancillary fees cover student services, but as a part-time virtual student who rarely, if ever, uses campus facilities, almost $500 seems like a huge increase.
I’m wondering:
Is this new for Fall 2026?
Did anyone else get surprised by these fees?
Has anyone successfully opted out of any of them?
Are there any bursaries or financial assistance available specifically because of these new ancillary fees?
Has anyone transferred to another college to finish a Law Clerk diploma, and if so, how did the transfer process go?
I’m honestly trying to figure out how to afford finishing my diploma. I really don’t want to walk away with only 7 courses left!! so I’d really appreciate hearing what others have experienced.

Thanks!

Hey guys, looking for some honest insight because I feel like I’m overanalyzing this process at this point.
I first applied for a Document Specialist position at a large law firm back in May 2025 through a strong internal referral from a long-time employee (28 years there). I am in year 2 of a part time law clerk program. The original postings eventually disappeared and later came back mostly as bilingual roles except for one unilingual shift, so I reapplied for that position in February of this year.
I had an HR screening pretty quickly and then interviewed with the director in mid-March. Since then… nothing. My application portal still says “Under Review,” while the older application from 2025 eventually changed to “Not Moving Forward.”
At the end of April, I followed up with the employee who coordinated the interview and he replied the same day, cc’ing the HR rep I screened with, saying she would get back to me ASAP. That was weeks ago and I still haven’t heard anything.
Then late last week I noticed another unilingual shift posted for the same role, so I emailed them both again and mentioned I’d also be interested in being considered for that shift. Again, silence so far.
I hate feeling so stagnant lol. At this point it sounds like they’re just not all that into me, which is totally fine, but then why not just send the little AI-generated “thanks but no thanks” email and put me out of my misery already? 😂

I recently applied for a court clerk position with a police region in Ontario Canada and was really happy to land an interview, especially since it was a blind application with no internal referral.

I didn’t end up getting the job and received a rejection email the following week.

I replied to thank them for the opportunity and asked if they’d be open to providing any feedback, since I’m genuinely interested in working with this region.

To my surprise, they responded and offered to set up a phone call to go over feedback and let me ask questions.

I’ve honestly never had this happen before, usually it’s just a standard rejection and that’s it, so I’m not sure how common this is.

Has anyone else had HR offer a post-rejection feedback call? And for anyone in HR, is this something you do regularly or only in certain situations?

Appreciate any insight!

Hey everyone,

Just curious if this is something others have experienced.
