    Extra curricular activities as a post-grad?

    I graduated in 2019, since then I have done the GDL and I'm now working full time. I don't have as many extra curricular activities now (or while I was doing the GDL) as I did during my undergrad. I do some volunteering, I'm learning how to code and I do a bit of writing for an online magazine...

    Thank you so much to absolutely everybody who took the time to reply, your messages were all so thorough and I'm so grateful for the words of support. I genuinely teared up a bit reading this thread, and it's given me the boost I really needed to get back on the horse and try again! It's not...

    Crisis of confidence + working full time while applying

    After finishing the GDL and several years of applications, I finally got a vacation scheme this year, which I was so proud of and thoroughly enjoyed. However, I got rejected from their training contract after an interview, and I can't help but feel like I'm back to square one... I've recently...

    I've got a first round TC interview next week with a firm I did a VS with this summer - they've not told me much about it, only that it'll take just under an hour. It's with two people, one of whom I interacted a lot with during the scheme. Does anyone have any advice about the sort of thing I...

    I'm waiting to hear back from Faegre after doing a vac scheme with them. They had their last vac scheme either last week or the week before (time has merged into one atm!)

    Anyone heard from Covington & Burling, Sidley Austin or Paul Hastings yet? Sort of related - after months of searching post-GDL, I've been offered a full time job! I know the current climate is so difficult but, just like the VS/TC applications, we've all just gotta keep going! For anyone else...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I finished my GDL this summer and I'm struggling to find work at the moment. I had a vac scheme this summer and I was really pleased to get some more legal experience this year, but things have been very quiet since. My initial goal was to get a paralegal role, but this is proving...
