[QUOTE="EEE, post: 12418, member: 2217"] Thank you for the advice! Would you suggest it is better to hold off my vac scheme applications to A&O and CC until I've had more contact with them or is it better to send them off as soon as possible (to also potentially create more time for further applications once they open and allow more time to spend on them over the summer)? My main concern is that since one can only apply once every 12 months, I don't want to jeopardise my opportunity this year with the risk that I don't visibly demonstrate a commitment to law (until I've had more of a chance to attend open days etc in the coming months). I have a further question about work experience on application forms. I have a lot of experience in student journalism that ranges from on the one hand being Deputy Editor of the university-wide student paper to on the other hand being the editor of a smaller, annual, department-wide student magazine. I'm unsure as to whether these roles would merit a mention as individual work experience entries on an application, or, whether they should be grouped together under 'student journalism', or, whether I shouldn't mention them at all because they were student/committee-type roles. I should mention that I've never done an application for an open day/vac scheme/TC, this will be my first round. Many thanks in advance! Edie [/QUOTE]
