Are my first year grades good enough for Vac schemes?
Those first-year results are not poor at all and won't be fatal in your vac scheme or TC applications. Your A-level grades are in fact better than most candidates who apply so I wouldn't worry about this either! In terms of work experience, you must remind yourself that you are still only a...- Ole1999

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
Anyone else re-read old applications you’ve wrote and cringe to death? I found this gem: “I studied slides whilst my peers were partying, saw the teaching assistant whilst my peers were eating and sought feedback on my tutorial work whilst my peers left the room.” I don’t even know what this...- Ole1999

Hi Jessica, what is your opinion on virtual backgrounds on Zoom for an AC? The wall behind me in my room has a mirrored wardrobe so I need to hide it by using a virtual background. Does it look a bit naff to have one of those office backgrounds on the zoom call or should I just stick to...- Ole1999

Loving this thread idea btw. Season ticket holder at United here so I thought I’d throw in my two cents. The last 48-72 hours have been the craziest that I can remember in football. I think most fans are all in agreement with the absurdity of the ESL proposals. But at a deeper level, the ESL...- Ole1999

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Okay thank you that makes sense. So assuming I don’t land a training contract this year, what would you recommend for me to study - SQE prep course or a law conversion degree that incorporates SQE preparation? I’m worried that if I just do the prep course, future firms that I apply to won’t...- Ole1999

So then why are the SRA phasing out the GDL if you need the knowledge from the GDL to be able to do the SQE? I was under the impression that once I graduate this year, I can then go straight onto preparing for the SQE.- Ole1999

Does anyone know the structure of a Shoosmiths video interview? Like how long do you get to prepare and then answer each question? And are all the questions competency-based? Thanks!- Ole1999
