I don’t really know how much weight they apply on those scores and the VI ques so I would hold on! They might still be getting back to everyone. I applied for Leeds. Wishing you all the best!

How does one prepare for a vacation scheme?

 

[Jessica Booker]

Hi! Does anyone know the scope of employment checks carried out by firms? Like what exactly do they check? Your financials or like your immigration status (like entry/exit dates)? Just curious

Employment dates and job title most likely - some firms may ask previous employers to comment on your performance, but most employers will only give out a standard reference of dates worked and the job title you worked under.

Hey,

First of all congratulations in getting one! This is amazing!

I shared some tips on how to convert a vacation scheme to a training contract and I basically did everything that I listed there, the post in question is here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-169320

There is also another post with great advice here:

Thread 'Converting your vacation scheme into a training contract - top tips in 2021'

I hope these will give you a first basis to start preparing for your upcoming one(s).

Good luck with them!

Did anyone who got a Bakers VI for VS apply near the deadline (within a week roughly)? Seeing very fast PFOs go out for the direct TC and worried I've screwed myself by waiting to submit my application because I was trying to perfect it 😢

I applied day of deadline and got the VS they say they’re rolling but I don’t think thats necessarily true!
