    Hi, for my Gowling application, would it be better to write about my legal work experience (full time jobs) rather than talk about vac schemes which are more recent than some of my work experience?

    I am back for cycle 7 - here we go again! I was unsuccessful post-VS in the summer but most of the feedback was really positive so hoping I am closer to the finish line this year 🍀 I refuse to let my confidence hold me back again!

    Do you know if you can definitely reapply within the same cycle? I haven't been able to find anything on their website which says one way or the other but that might just me! I'd also be interested in applying again if possible
