    A&O Shearman - Winter Vacation Scheme

    hi! I noticed that the work experience section has 4000 characters per experience - what should you include? should we use the maximum word count because that sounds like a lot for the grad recruitment team to read

    thank you for this! I'm new to TCLA so I'm sorry if this is redundant, but do you know where I could receive advice for preparing for the A&O online assessment? I completed it last year for their first-year scheme and I didn't score high enough.
