Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
That’s not a problem at all - a lot of candidates come to apply later down the line and when they are ready. As long as your gap year is productive in some way, I don’t think this is an issue at all. And by productive, that could be anything with purpose - that could be working a whole range of...- TCLA Community Assistant

Work experience section on applications
Personally, my advice is focus on responsibilities and impact/output first, as skills can often be inferred anyway.- TCLA Community Assistant

Spelling mistake in Application forms
I put everything I write of importance through Grammarly but you cannot rely on it. Sometimes it makes mistakes. For instances, it tries to correct “a FTSE company” to “an FTSE company” because the algorithm is not sophisticated enough to know you pronounce it FUTSEE rather than EFF-TEE-CEE-EE...- TCLA Community Assistant

Spelling mistake in Application forms
When I was at Freshfields, 99% of trainees had some form of error in their application. And that was the people we recruited! US rather than U.K. spellings are a relatively minor issue, especially if you use US spellings consistently.- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes, email them but explain they are your preferred firm. When they are asking for as much detail as possible, they may want to understand whether your offer is still to be accepted and what timescales you have to accept it.- TCLA Community Assistant

It won’t make a difference when you send. It between now or Monday - they won’t pick it up until Monday morning anyway.- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Start attending some careers events, workshops and talks. Also try some of the virtual work experience programmes with the likes of Forage and Bright Network. You have loads of time to build up this knowledge, so don’t fret.- TCLA Community Assistant

Definitely the type of information to include in this section, unless there is a later question/section that specifically asks for academic prizes.- TCLA Community Assistant

Firms will usually provide feedback for interview stages, so there is no harm requesting feedback from the firm.- TCLA Community Assistant

No, that’s not a problem at all. You can also include any part-time/holiday jobs and volunteering roles in this section too if you haven’t included them in your work experience section- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes, all great things to include in this section. You don’t really have to explain the events, just focus on the factual detail of the event/when it was and what you took away from it (the latter part can be done collectively, rather than individually if you would prefer).- TCLA Community Assistant

HSF Vacation Scheme
They typically don’t require it to be tied to the firm. It’s really to show an additional dimension to you as a candidate. It’s almost like they are trying to find out you have interests outside of work that mean you you have the ability to switch off from work or that you’ll be an interesting...- TCLA Community Assistant

The deadline will be 23.59 tomorrow - it’s a badly worded description. Call the firm first thing in the morning to see if the deadline can be extended. Also try to contact the video interview platform provider to see if they can provide tech support. They are usually available 24/7.- TCLA Community Assistant
