    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Omg this is literally my life. Even in uni, essays I wrote over months were given lower marks than those I rushed in a night! I just assumed that I work best under pressure lolol

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I don't think this is true as graduates are often valued due to their experience, it's just about writing about those experiences in the best way. In a VS offer my interviewer literally said "your experience made you stand out heads and shoulders above and taking those years to build that...

    DON'T GIVE UP!!!! Just because it's tough, doesn't mean it isn't worth it. Yes get another grad job if you would like but try again next year! Law is all about being resilient and this is the first test - a test that builds you a lifelong skill!

    Hello friends, has anyone had a rejection yet from TW? They're the final firm I'm waiting to hear back from and I feel like by now, with them only running ACs until mid-March, we'd probably have heard if we were going to be on one?

    Yep same here, PFO, thought it was one of my best applications! I had attended so many events with them as well (5+) :( I shouldn't feel sad as I've had two VS invites this season but I really did put everything into that application and I'm not sure what I could've done better! They were my...

    DLA is planning theirs to go ahead in person! An associate confirmed to me that they’re going to do everything possible to make it go ahead as their office is very new and equipped for socially distancing. If government guidelines allow us to be in the office, it will happen

    It's best to be honest with them. Never try to blag your way through the question if you're unsure but always do give it a go. I often say to them "I'm unsure about this question, would you prefer that I take a minute to think through my answer or would you rather I think out loud?" and usually...

    Funding while studying GDL/LPC

    This is really helpful, thank you and thank you for responding!!!! I probably wouldn't take the course without firm sponsorship as I really don't want to take out any kind of loan, but it's helpful to know that you have do enough time to work. I hadn't actually thought about tutoring... I work...

    Omg I've been in the same boat as you for two years now and these are my exact thoughts! I posted a thread about it here https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/gdl-vs-sqe.2543/ and I attended some ULaw/BPP events last year. I came to the conclusion that whatever is meant to be will...
