    CC 400 Words

    One of the questions CC ask for their TC is "tell us about your extra-curricular, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance you are most proud of". The word limit is 400 words, and I can't seem to meet that, I get stuck at about 300 before I begin to ramble and add nothing to...

    AO vacation scheme application

    I'm applying to VC's too, so definitely take my advice with a pinch of salt. Perhaps try to substantiate your points more and make them more specific. Saying commercial law affects global business interactions applies to almost every corporate field; consulting, banking etc. Also, try avoid...

    Questions relating to my degree

    Exams this year were much more relaxed as they were online, and we were even explicitly told not to cover certain lectures as they wouldn't be in exams. Because of this I'm worried my interviewer may ask be a rather particular question relating to one of my modules, for example, asking me about...

    Rolling Deadlines Pressure

    I'm really eager to apply to some vacation schemes and a few firms I wanted to apply to have opened. However, I have some valuable legal work experience in 2 weeks, and begin my VC role in a society in late September when term starts. Because of the work experience sections, and questions...

    UK student wanting vacation scheme elsewhere

    I'm a UK student and would like to work in Singapore or Dubai, which I know many firms have offices located at. Do I simply apply for vacation schemes in these locations and, if successful, this is where I would receive a training contract for? Are these more competitive than TC's in London...

    First Year Open Days/Insight Schemes 2021/2022

    Has anyone heard from White & Case, or know if they are rolling? I was thinking about applying, but the deadline is tomorrow. Obviously if they're rolling it would seem a bit pointless.

    Including finance on CV

    I'm applying for law and investment banking roles, and as such have a mix of extra-curriculars involving both. Should I still include things like excel modelling competitions on my CV? I fear it may make me appear as undedicated to law.

    No position of responsibility

    I volunteer at citizens advice currently. All the society’s “elections” have passed, so even if I got involved i would have a position of responsibility for vac schemes. i’m hoping volunteering and part-time work demonstrates all the qualities the extra curricular would.

    No position of responsibility

    For whatever reason, I didn’t participate in societies enough to get a position of responsibility, which i’ve heard is pretty essential to VC apps. If i work part-time during term-time would this be a sufficient substitute, or will it hurt my application? Just to be clear, I would be getting a...

    First Year Open Days/Insight Schemes 2021/2022

    My Freshfields application was "updated" on the 14th, which I believe means it was reviewed. I haven't received a WG invite, this means I'm rejected right?

    Conflicting open days

    Two questions. Firstly, how many open days until it stops improving your CV. I was thinking about 5 would be sufficient? Secondly, I have confirmed attendance at two upcoming open days, however, the days clash, very silly on my part, however I'm not sure what to do. Should I just email grad...

    Is 2 weeks work experience sufficient?

    i've just done 2 weeks work experience at a nearby university (did work in many departments). This is my only form of work experience, do you think this is sufficient for first-year schemes or would it be wise to do some part-time work also?
