I'm currently studying an MSc and, after many, many months of unsuccessful job hunting, have found a 12 week internship with the OU that I meet the criteria for and is an area of my work experience that I would like to develop.
I wonder if anyone has any experience of these, or any idea how many applicants the OU might receive for this type of role?
I ask because I'm trying to focus my (depleted) energies into only applying for roles that I stand a chance of getting which, realistically, means not too many other applicants.
I was trying to find a way to ask the person who sent me the application pack, but couldn't work out how to without sounding like the middle-aged saddo that I am
