[QUOTE="OB, post: 118968, member: 5011"] I was quite open with my employers when I joined them that I would be applying for vac schemes (moved jobs halfway through the app cycle). I think its definitely worth being open and honest with them and seeing how they can help. I opted for a mix of unpaid leave and holiday for my 3 week scheme to not use all of my holiday up so see if you can ask for that (sometimes they don't let you take unpaid leave if you haven't already exhausted your holiday). Also be forthcoming with any conflict checks the firm might do - in-house legal had to consider if there were any risks from me going to my vac scheme firm. Sometimes they might want to cut off your log ins/hand in your work phone/laptop while you're at the other firm! [/QUOTE]
