    Hey @Jessica Booker, if a firm is holding 3 different vac schemes in April, June and July, each with 10 people, is it possible that I will be disadvantaged if I do the July one, i.e. if they've given out the vast majority of their TCs by that point? Or do firms typically assess everyone before...

    Same! They don't mention anything about an interview, and the slot is only 2 and a half hours so I don't think there can be one. But on their website they say that they have a full assessment centre as the final stage with interview and all? extremely confused lol I've emailed grad recruitment

    strongly recommend using spell/grammar checkers, I paste my answers into quillbot ai, Grammarly and then Microsoft word, and those sorts of mistakes get picked up 99% of the time

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi @Jessica Booker, Eversheds' application is comprised of 3 strengths based questions and nothing else. How do you recommend standing out in these types of questions, as I feel like my answers will be quite similar to everyone else's?

    Burges Salmon vac scheme

    I got an assessment centre and discussed the energy sector and the switch to clean energy. You can choose any sector but the firm are big on energy and you can tie it in to their strong esg policies. The article in the CLA’s commercial awareness sector is a great place to start!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    It's an application form, and the only way they've asked for results is by putting 'Grade', no other modules or anything required.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Bit of a silly question but when asked your 'grade', do you say the classification or actual number? Or the classification with the number in brackets?
