    Feeling like I'm 'past it'/waning enthusiasm

    I completed the GDL this summer, I had one vac scheme this summer which I didn't manage to convert into a TC.

    For a cover letter that asks about why you and why the firm, should we aim for a 50/50 split? Or is it okay to focus a bit more on my own skills and experiences? Just struggling to hit the balance right.

    NRF Spring deadline is 22nd November - the applications are rolling, so is it too late to start my application now? Wondering if maybe I'd be better off putting my energy into ones that have a bit later deadlines?

    Like bel123456 said, submit it for the summer vac! Not to be too cheesy, but I'm very much an 'everything happens for a reason' kind of person, so you never know, something better suited for you may come along or the summer application may be your shot! Pick yourself up and turn this into a...

    Does anyone know if you can apply for more than one thing per year at White & Case? I'm unsure if I should apply for their winter, spring or summer vac scheme. Also, does anyone know if the applications are reviewed on a rolling basis?
