    Vacation schemes that run in late Nov?

    Are there any winter vac schemes that run in late Nov (preferably) or at the latest the very first few days of Dec? Thanks! I have commitments in Dec so any such schemes would be very helpful.

    Adding onto what @Stefano said, for T/F/CS questions, you should look for something that directly affirms or directly contradicts the statement. Otherwise, the answer is 'cannot say'. You do not rely on any 'general knowledge'. From my understanding this is what distinguishes T/F/CS from...

    With respect to the first point (already having done schemes at other firms), how would you suggest we present/portray the experiences to mitigate the perception that our direct TC applications are to 'second choice' firms? Thanks!

    It's a request for the company to hand over any personal data they have on you. You should email Graduate Recruitment or a Data Officer if they have one saying you are making a Subject Access Request, with details of any information that you want to obtain from them. They're required under law...

    I'm very sorry to hear that. I know this won't be much consolation but you've done very well to get the TC interview in the first place - you're one of the very few people I've heard who got to the AC stage for K&E. Sometimes it's a matter of luck at the point of the interview. Take a breather...

    @Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, was wondering if you received any update or response from any firms on the question of whether they are doing winter vacation schemes virtually or in person? Thanks!

    Allen & Overy SJT

    For the A&O Practice Question, what would you answer? On one hand I'd try to show initiative by seeing if my other tasks can be moved around (option 1), but on the other hand given the number of tasks I have due in the next two days it seems unlikely I'd be able to move them all around, so...

    Does A&O automatically send you an email confirmation once you've submitted an app? Haven't received one yet and want to make sure app got through

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Great, thanks so much for your advice Jessica. I really appreciate it. I agree that I might be a bit lacking in other areas (eg extracurriculars) to show real commercial awareness/interest and it might not just be my academics. Just to clarify - from 1 January 2021 I would be treated the same...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica. I've been having a bit of an unsuccessful streak with TC applications lately and wanted to ask for your expertise on whether you think certain experiences/characteristics I have are making this the case. 1. I did very well at undergrad in terms of results and completed the Cambridge...
