[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 212577, member: 2672"] This threads and posts might be a useful read: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/converting-your-vacation-scheme-into-a-training-contract-top-tips-in-2021.3454/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-vacation-scheme-applications-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/page-743#post-171338[/URL] Generally, your conversion interview will focus more on your reflections on your vacation scheme (what you enjoyed, what was challegning, what was surprusing, how your interest in the firm has been reaffirmed or changed etc), and also how you may have generally developed as a candidate in the months since your vacation scheme interview. Be prepared to answer questions about where else you are applying and how those firms may differ to your VS firm both in terms of job opportunity and from a commercial awareness perspective. It is less likely to be competency based as the feedback from your department is much more likely to cover the competencies they want to assess.
