they’ve send out VS offers already? i emailed and they said they haven’t dealt with it yet so i’m confused.
Someone on here got an offer and I saw a LinkedIn post with an offer too. Could still be more to come I guess, but the scheme is in like 2 weeks so I don’t have much hope
 
a very random question, but what are you supposed to wear on a vac scheme as a woman? it’s not a suit every day is it?😓

edit: also, does anyone have any recs for places to get affordable office clothes🙂
Hi!

Totally understand this question as I had a few meltdowns about this, haha! 😅

You definitely do not have to wear a suit everyday! Generally, I would aim to have a few pairs of smart trousers and some nice blouses/shirts, and that should be more than enough for the length of the scheme.

Personally, I would always wear a slightly more smart outfit on the first day (e.g. a shirt and blazer) so that you can adapt once you see the general dress code in the office. I also took a blazer everyday just incase, but I didn't necessarily wear it - it was just handy to have if you were invited to attend a client meeting, for example. I was told by some people last year to bring a pair of heels with you too, but I personally didn't do this and didn't have any issues on the schemes I was on (so I wouldn't worry if heels are not your thing!).

In terms of where to find office clothes, some of my best staples came from H&M and ASOS. I would also agree with others as I have found some great office clothes in charity shops too! :)

Best of luck with the scheme!!
