[QUOTE="Rosh_67, post: 63673, member: 10869"] Hi Long time lurker, first time poster! Thanks to all that run this site, and the users :D I have several questions about reference checks, relating to work experience. I have 2 AC's coming up for TC's at a US firm and an Internationally Elite firm. If I were to be offered a TC, I am worried about my work experience. Firstly, the firms only asked for academic referees, so who would they contact for work experience references? Secondly, with the exception of one summer VS that I failed to convert, the rest are both 1)unpaid and 2)informal (for example, first year schemes that lasted for either a day, or 2-3 days max), or informal shadowing in immigration law firms (for a week) way back in 2016. I'm really concerned as they may not remember me, or simply have had plenty of applicants since(did first year schemes at the start/middle of my first year, now have graduated a year ago!) Finally, on the app form, I have listed some virtual insight schemes/vac schemes(ranging from legal cheek vac schemes, to a virtual insight week (admittedly through workshops only)with a national law firm who works with our university!)- and only lasted for a few days(5). Just wanted some closure as to how this would be checked, as I am stressing. Wouldn't want to get this far only for offers to be rescinded Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
