Thankyou!Yes, I actively encourage people to add upcoming vacation schemes to somewhere in their application - usually great for brief references in motivational questions or “extra information” sections.

Congratulations! Do you have any tips for the video interview & the AC with CRS?Amazing news! Vac scheme offer from Charles Russell Speechlys🤩🥳
It's not been easy as an international student to secure something, but persistence is key!
Does this solely apply to VS offers? I have managed to get a legal summer internship with a tech company that won’t start until June. Would this also be good to include briefly somewhere in applications?

This is slightly different - a vacation scheme is no commitment while a training contract is.In light of this, if you’re applying for a TC, would you advise mentioning you already hold a training contract offer somewhere else?
Edit to add context: I’m planning to apply to a firm that I’ve recently discovered that I feel is better aligned with my interest than my current TC firm. I plan to add upcoming vacation schemes (because the seats I’ve chosen align with the firms specialist areas) but I don’t know whether to mention my TC offer as there’s no real experience I’ll be gaining.
It would also apply to any future internships.Does this solely apply to VS offers? I have managed to get a legal summer internship with a tech company that won’t start until June. Would this also be good to include briefly somewhere in applications? Thanks
Hi there, this was after the interview and assessment centre I assume? I got one of the 3 spaces, and I know someone else who got one too. Was your AC in January? I heard back the next week.Anyone heard back from Samsung Graduate Paralegal role??
Sorry I want to ask something related to this @Jessica Booker what is your view on writing about a document review paralegal in work experience section. Should I include that in the work experience section of applications. I review documents on Relativity and hard copy documents. What do law firms think of this if I include it in the work experience section.It would also apply to any future internships.
This type of work experience should be included too. I am not sure why you wouldn’t include this. It will show a range of transferable skills and some knowledge.Sorry I want to ask something related to this @Jessica Booker what is your view on writing about a document review paralegal in work experience section.

Thank you and I asked I did not know whether it is valuable experience as it is reviewing documents for a law firm client case.This type of work experience should be included too. I am not sure why you wouldn’t include this.
I think people have to switch their thinking on things like this. You need to think about why it is valuable (and assume it is valuable because it is) rather than assuming it won’t be of interest.Thank you and I asked I did not know whether it is valuable experience as it is reviewing documents for a law firm client case.
Thank you very much for this and I agree with the bit about transferable skills as every role has transferable skills.I think people have to switch their thinking on things like this.

Any work experience will build transferable skills and show your ability to work.
Therefore it is better than nothing or having a gap in your CV.
Hey, I hope yours went well! Do you have any advice for the video interview? Were there any oddball questions? ThanksHiya, I did CRS video interview last week. I applied for London at the end of november.
honestly no need to worry about the case study, it was very informal (~10min) and so far among the easier/more conversational ones I've done at various firms.Anyone have any advice for the Hogan Lovells AC specifically? Specfically what to expect from the case study (I'm unsure if it's any different from other firms' case studies as it seems to be merged with the competency/motivational interview) and the situational interview, if possible!
Congrats!! My interview was last month and still under consideration but no AC invite as of yet. Thanks for letting me know though!Hi there, this was after the interview and assessment centre I assume? I got one of the 3 spaces, and I know someone else who got one too. Was your AC in January? I heard back the next week.
