Hi everyone,
We are thinking of creating a new online space for people to document their vacation scheme experiences on the platform. Similar to the interview insights to a degree, I felt it would be useful for people to diarise their experiences on the forum. Taking notes on what you do each day on a vacation scheme is useful for you as the participant for your final interviews when you will typically be asked what you've done, and I think it will be invaluable for those who have not yet undertaken a VS to see what life as a trainee really looks like. We don't need specifics (and nor should you provide them because of confidentiality etc) but just a decent outline of what you got up to each day in your seats including any socials/talks etc. I will devise a template we can all use and these can absolutely be submitted anonymously to myself or Jaysen if you prefer. There will also be a reward for those who provide the best and most detailed summaries. I just think it would be great to provide the community with even more insight into the inner workings of law firms
If you think this is a good idea and would be happy to contribute a write up for us it would be great if you could please follow this link https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/vacation-scheme-diaries.1330/. If you are interested in this as a new idea for the forum then please like my post in there and if you would be prepared to do a write-up for us (thank you so much in advance) it would be great if you would comment so we can get a sense of numbers.
Thank you so much everyone and hope you're all having a great week!

Thank you so much everyone and hope you're all having a great week!
Just to echo this great idea that @Alice G came up with, with your help, it would be great if we could create a detailed list of your vac scheme experiences across a variety of firms. This can then help yourself and future applicants decide which firms to apply to and what to expect for upcoming schemes - I know at times it can be hard to tell what's real and what's marketing.
We'll keep everything anonymous so you can openly share your thoughts without any worries.
