TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
Hi, does anyone or perhaps @Jessica Booker know if Allen & Overy (or MC firms in general) consider your application (written app, WG scores, extracurriculars, etc.) as a whole when deciding to make vac scheme offers, or do they mostly consider AC performance given that they might not have time...- mustardcustard

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
I used to think that there's no point applying to rolling firms so close to the deadline, but I recently received an AC invite from a MC firm even though I applied a few days before the deadline, so now I would definitely encourage anyone to go for it.- mustardcustard

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
Dear @Jessica Booker (or anyone else who might be able to help :)), I have a question about SJT-type interview questions (e.g. in A&O's interview). Even though the question is hypothetical, is it encouraged to pepper your answer with how you have handled such an issue in real life to make the...- mustardcustard

Making a late application (reviewed on rolling basis) - worth it?
I used to think it wasn't worth it until I received an AC invite for A&O, having submitted an application a few days before their deadline. So now I would definitely advocate for submitting an application even if it's late.- mustardcustard

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23
Hi! @Jessica Booker Not sure if this has been asked before but: 1) I'm wondering if you (or anyone) knows whether we're supposed to attach a CV to a Freshfields TC application. The application page on the firm's website didn't mention CV, but on the portal you can attach your CV. 2) If the...- mustardcustard

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Dear @Jessica Booker, I have a question about the rule on not applying to more than one vacation scheme per one recruiting cycle.

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Dear @Jessica Booker, I hope you are well! I'm not sure on how to approach a vacation scheme question from Baker McKenzie and would greatly appreciate your views.

Herbert Smith Freehills Work Experience Section
Dear Jessica, Would you say a two-day shadowing count as work experience? I was given research tasks and attended a client presentation.
