[QUOTE="MaryAn, post: 157143, member: 32464"] Hi Gemma, Thank you very much for taking the time to answer questions. I was wondering if the Vacation Scheme would be the best avenue for me into a career at Willkie. I am a qualified Barrister - I've been called to the Bar of England & Wales and given a full exemption of pupillage. However, upon qualification I had to make the very difficult decision to take a break from my career to care for a loved one. I have been away from law for a number of years although I have done some legally related voluntary work during that time. I have 6 years legal work experience, but not in commercial law, and I suppose I could be termed a career changer. Am I the type of candidate that Willkie would consider for a position as a first year Associate? If so, should I be applying to Willkie as an experienced lawyer even though all my legal experience was gained a number of years ago before qualification? Or, should I in the circumstances apply for the Vacation Scheme? [/QUOTE]
