[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 205075, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER] This will depend on the firm, but in my experience, most firms I've secured a training contract/vacation scheme with have required a background screening process after the offer was made. Depending on who they use for these checks, they may ask for details about any employment you've had since you first applied (this was the case for me at every US firm I'd applied to). If there were any gaps where I wasn’t in education or employment during the screening process, I was asked to account for them. It was pretty clear that they were trying to contact every organisation that I'd mentioned working for during this screening process. Nothing to be worried about, but just to clarify that you may, in some cases, be asked to account for any employment you've had since initially making your application. [/QUOTE]
