    Vacation Scheme Preparation

    Hi Konstantinos, Thanks for your question! So the way that I'm preparing for this vacation scheme is to try and upskill myself in terms of financial knowledge and to just become more financially literate which will help my commercial awareness. I'd really recommend looking at some courses on...

    I'd try calling this week if that's the case. I really appreciate how difficult is for you and it can feel frustrating not getting an answer to your email. If you call and there's no answer, just thinking outside the box here and not sure if it would be appropriate @Jessica Booker, but if you...

    No because they are only included in the question as suggestions or potential options that you could choose :)

    In that case, I would mention one of those challenges you overcame and talk about that in the question using the STAR/CAR method

    Mandatory 2.1 or above in non-law modules for top firms?

    Just to echo what's been said above, it really is firm dependent I'm afraid. Most firms would be fine with the odd 2.2 as long as your overall grade is a 2.1 or above but some firms which are known for being particularly strict on grades e.g. Slaughters, Davis Polk etc. will be a bit less forgiving

    Yeah I would put that in your work experience. If there's a particular achievement you have associated with your e-commerce business or a particular challenge you faced which you overcame, you could then mention that specific point in the first question I'd say but otherwise put it in your work...

    No you leave those figures exact and only round up or down with the overall average EDIT: that's the way we do it at Nottingham anyway! Your university may be different...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    The way Nottingham does it (which is the way most unis do I believe) is that if the mark is .5 or above you round up and if it's below .5 you round down AFTER using the decimal averages to calculate your overall average if that makes sense? So in your case, you would use 57.4 and 64.8 and then...
