Anyone got any tips for virtual interviews? Got a few coming up for international firms in Scotland and England offices but have felt weak at these, talking to a blank screen isn’t it

@axelbeugre @Jessica Booker do you know if for firms which have no minumum a level requirements whether they still require a certain number of UCAS points?
If they have no A-level criteria, this will apply across all types of qualifications and therefore you will not need a certain number of UCAS points either.

I haven't heard from Goodwin yet but I think they resubmitted my application on the 21st and idk why - potentially because I picked just the summer vacation scheme ? Has this happened to anyone else?
Yeah they did same to me - I think its standard. The second one for me was submitted as "Either Vacation Scheme"

For the auto fill-in function for vantage apps, it is possible to change the work experience section? I have a couple of typos in the original saved one and I don't always remember to correct it for every app lol, thanks!

if you're a non-law final year planning to do PGDL, when should you apply for a TC? I'm just applying for vac schemes rn, but some places automatically put you forward for TC like Kirkland. Can't you just apply for them next round (autumn/winter 2024) while doing the PGDL?
Considering most firms are recruiting for 2026 or 2027 intakes this cycle, you’d have enough time to still complete the GDL and SQE before the TC started, so could apply this year for a TC if you are eligible.
