"Provide details of any careers events you have attended"
No worries! Sorry I am slightly confused were you a campus ambassador for the firm or were you chosen to be a representative and then advertised the networking dinners? If so, first talk about how you got chosen either as a campus ambassador or representative (whatever the position was), then...- Salma

"Provide details of any careers events you have attended"
Hi both, I would add a line or two about what the event(s) entailed, how you got the place (was this through a successful application, were you chosen as a candidate to attend against X other applicants), what you learned from the event and how it convinced you to pursue a carer in commercial...- Salma

Norton Rose Fulbright - Other Information
Hey Hazal! Great question. I think it is better if you sell yourself even more, a few successful NRF’s apps I have read from a few friends mention or continue to stress unique selling points they possess and why they should be chosen for the vacation scheme/training contract place. I hope...- Salma

Why not a higher ranked university?
First of all - Do interviewers actually ask this? How sad. I do not think the choice of university should impact your chances of obtaining a training contact at any firm at all. Don’t limit your choices because you feel like only ‘oxbridge students are allowed to apply’. Apply to every firm...- Salma

Winter Vacation Scheme 2018 Thread
Not really. It depends on your own circumstances and commitments, how fast do you want to get your TC? Is it because of visa restrictions or travelling commitments later in the year or a new job etc Do you have time to wait until the Spring/Summer?- Salma

How do you effectively manage your time?
Amazing!!!! I totally agree with you. I think that one thing that I have noticed is that once you stop comparing yourself to peers who have sent 10 applications already or you just simply ‘mind your business’ as you suggest Lawgal you become a lot more productive.- Salma

How do you effectively manage your time?
Agreed, however, I think I will the keep the title only because it relates to both questions - time manangement/how does one keep going, as they both inevitably overlap. I think one thing that motivates me when drafting up applications is re-reading my apps from my very first ‘app cycle’ or...- Salma
