[QUOTE="sandralai, post: 93246, member: 16818"] Hi all, thanks so much to everyone for some help on discussing rejections previously in another post ([URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/how-to-explain-rejections-in-interviews.4387/#post-88714[/URL]) - it surely made me a lot more comfortable talking about them! For Clifford Chance's 2024 Direct Training Contract (thankfully it's non rolling basis), they ask whether you have done any formal vacation scheme, and then whether you were offered a TC. And eventually: I am not sure if the interview approach that I linked really applies to an application answer, so: [LIST=1] [*]What are the "details" that I should provide? Should I discuss (a) the feedback; and/or (b) how I have improved, using examples to explain? [*]If discussing how I improved should be included, how much should I focus on it? Just thinking if I'll sound like I'm deviating from answering the question. [*]Around how many words should I aim for? I do know that the 600 word question is the real "bread and butter" of my application. [*]If I was indeed told in the feedback that one reason was due to the firm's small intake (which would be quite different from Clifford Chance), is it appropriate to mention this also? [/LIST] I am not very sure as there is already the Work Experience section for me to talk about what I did during the schemes. Thanks so much to everyone in advance! :) [/QUOTE]
