    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    If it helps, I got a few 2:2s in my first and second year (nowhere near majority though) finished with 65% overall and managed to get onto CMS' vac scheme last year. It is definitely possible so do not let it deter you!!

    Hi Jessica, I am also in a similar situation where I am completing the application form for a firm that i was succesful in applying for last year (I did the vac scheme). The questions are exactly the same so I am reluctant to change too much as I believe I had quite strong answers. Do you...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I will also be attending the event at CC this Thursday. Do you think it is appropriate to include the event in the work experience section of an application? Im conscious that it is not really the same as an open day.
