[QUOTE="Ria Sharma, post: 28488, member: 4592"] Hi Jaysen, Thank you for creating this thread, and all the support you give on TCLA! My question is regarding vacation schemes and commercial awareness. If you do not have previous first year experience or open day experience with a firm you are interested in, what other ways can you demonstrate your interest in the firm to be a competitive applicant? Furthermore, does this lack of experience put you at a disadvantage? Also, a question regarding commercial awareness if you have time, I understand that reading the news daily and listening to podcasts is an optimal way to improve CA, but would you suggest any particular time-efficient ways to read the news which will not only help the knowledge stick but also be applicable during the application process? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
