    I am not saying this to be unhelpful, but other than law, finance, civil service and some STEM positions there are not a huge amount of options for grad level jobs that pay that much. I have friends in some really interesting jobs in london in research/social policy, international development...

    At a direct TC interview, is it likely for them to ask ‘why didn’t you apply to our vac scheme?’ If so, does anyone have any suggestions on how to answer? The real reason is they’re quite a prestigious firm I didn’t think theyd take a second look at me for lack of experience/some dodgy GDL...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, I’ve secured 2 vac schemes this cycle, but one has been postponed and the other cancelled (changed to direct TC interview). Can I put them on a direct TC application to another firm? I don’t have any other vac schemes on my application form but have a few open days and a 12month...

    Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus

    Hey I’m in exactly the same position as you... I know we can’t do anything about it but with TC recruitment being such a long process any lost time can feel like a lifetime... the prospect of knowing my fate end of April and either way being able to use the VS on future direct TC apps was my...

    thanks! ah so annoying - my AC email invite specified the 10th feb, but the only available slot on the portal was march 27th, frustrating as they're rolling so may have filled before I even have my AC! Best of luck with your response though!!
