I do not know, because CC is known for not accepting graduates. But I might be wrong!
I think it was definitely a big thing last year, where they explicitly came out and said they're not accepting anyone past their penultimate year of study. But the impression I get is that the 2023 TCs would be open to grads / career changers, I remember going to one of their events this year and them mentioning that they are open to career changers as well.

    This is a minor stylistic point but should "open day" remain in lowercase when referring to it in a cover letter? I noticed that in an old application I put it in capitals. Would appreciate any thoughts on this.. thanks!

    Depends on the context. If you are saying something like “I attended an open day with Joe Bloggs LLP” then lower case. If it is the title of the event, eg “I attended the Innovation Open Day” then it is typically capitalised, although look at how the firm writes it in things that are not headings (eg how they write it in the copy of their website/brochure), and mirror the way they write it.

    Thank you for this, Jessica!
