You can reference where you are working, and just state in the description you are working through an umbrella company.

Thank you, working through an Umbrella company will not put me at a disadvantage right?

No - it’s very common.

Thank you, as I have a paralegal offer at a tier one investment bank but they are going through the umbrella company process however, I also have a paralegal offer at lewis Silkin. I am unable to decide between them , I personally want to take the investment bank one but I was just unsure if working through an Umbrella Company might not hold the same weight.

It’s really not an issue working through an umbrella company - there is no difference from a future applications perspective.

Which one do you suggest I should go for? I can really need advice!

Hi @Jaysen does tcla have any resources/courses on capital markets (structured finance)?

I have an AC tomorrow and am really not feeling well. Think I have the flu and have recently lost a family member which has affected my concentration - do you think its worth mentioning to graduate recruitment? I still want to do the AC but not sure if I should mention this prior.

The one you think is best for you based on your circumstances and interests, as well as what you have learnt about the roles through the recruitment process for them.
