This was the situation I found myself in, albeit I did have the luck of securing an internship in-house- I would say try and find whatever experience you can find - first of all remember every job has transferrable skills so don't worry too much if you're not getting that legal experience -...- LS12

Obviously, Orrick is doing VS for the first time this year and the WG was a little surprise for me because it's not mentioned in their application process online - but then again there isn't much information in relation to the process at all. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the next...- LS12

I personally would not be comfortable with this considering I'd need to take public transport to go in office, that being said I think it depends on your personal feelings. Very surprised in person interviews are happening- LS12

@Jessica Booker out of interest - when applying should we be putting all of our work experiences or is it better to be selective? For example I’ve worked in a number of hospitality roles, where I’ve developed similar skills, should I only be putting the most recent?- LS12

W&C rejection You can! Although in a session they did earlier this week they said that there should be a substantial change and they recommend waiting to really improve as tcs are non-rolling- LS12

I don’t necessarily agree with this. Yes the user is in an enviable position but they acknowledge that. Just bc you have an offer doesn’t mean they can’t continue to use this platform as a sense of community. I do believe that gaining a Tc at all is a massive achievement. But I can understand...- LS12
