    How can I improve myself as a TC candidate in the time before a vac scheme?

    Hi, I have a spring vac scheme coming up and I’m already anxious about whether I’ll be able to convert it to a TC. I believe this firm recruits trainees mostly from their vac schemes and I’ve seen loads of helpful tips about how to convert a VS - I wondered though if anyone may be willing to...

    Has anyone filled out a vacation scheme application for Gibson Dunn? Their online portal isn't letting me select 'no' to applying to the training contract and I can only get to the next page of the firm if I tick yes to vac scheme and TC. Is this a tech glitch or do we have to apply for both?
