    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Hi Is it silly to apply for an open day and direct TC in the same application? I'm not sure whether the firm would find it odd how I've already applied for the TC but not met them yet. My reasons for applying in response to the TC questions were due to their strength in specific practice...
