Your thoughts required (again!)
I think this would be brilliant! I reckon at least 80% of messages in the 'hearing back from firms' thread are 'anyone heard from x'- Daniel Boden

Your thoughts required (again!)
Yeah think this is a great idea! Also think something like this should be used for all ratings tbh. An explanation as to why you rate a post a certain way, be it 'commercial awareness insights' 'application insights' etc. would be really helpful I think- Daniel Boden

Giving up - are my grades holding me back?
Yeah just to echo what others have said, your marks are not bad at all! Moreover, the fact you have done well in modules like Company Law and Law and Business will look good since those modules are pretty relevant to a career as a corporate lawyer. I can see that for some firms which are known...- Daniel Boden

CVs should always be in bullet point form. You want to get the information across in as concise a way as possible. I think @Jessica Booker or @Jaysen had a good example of a template for one of their old CVs if I'm not mistaken?- Daniel Boden

GDL vs SQE?
I thought the accelerated LPC was masters level if you do the business masters component of it? Or is that not the case?- Daniel Boden

Which firms recruit predominantly from VS and which ones from TC?
Yeah that was true for this year but CC have decided to no longer run a vac scheme and recruit mainly through the spark scheme or direct TCs. They only decided this fairly recently after their virtual vacation schemes- Daniel Boden

Your thoughts required (again!)
Just thought I'd give my 2 cents. I think free access to premium would be great as that learning/information is beneficial to those with and without TC offers and as far as I can remember there's a specific module that is designed for future trainees isn't there? Other than that, I think amazon...- Daniel Boden

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
If I were you, I'd get in contact with the graduate recruitment team and ask for their advice, explaining how your profile has changed in the intervening 2 years. Worst they can say is don't bother, in which case on to the next one :)- Daniel Boden

GDL vs SQE?
From discussions I've had with various lawyers at various firms in the city, a lot of firms are not particularly confident with the new SQE model which is why, as Jess said, they are pushing back their SQE intakes. Personally, I wouldn't fancy being a guinea pig in the SQE and would do the...- Daniel Boden

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
I mean you could just say you've been having technical issues with your email provider and ask if it's possible to have an extension. Firms are normally very amenable when it comes to letting you redo/take a test again or for the first time if there's been some technical problem no matter how...- Daniel Boden

Yep, when I accepted my offer after the vac scheme they told me they'd made the rest of their offers to others on the scheme and weren't planning on increasing. That said, maybe they've changed their mind but that's what I was told a week or so ago. Good luck with your app!- Daniel Boden

Gibson have filled the intake from the vacation scheme so I don’t believe they’ll be looking at their direct TCs I’m afraid- Daniel Boden
