[QUOTE="LawEnthus, post: 217108, member: 7977"] hi all, I did a vac scheme last summer and was unsuccessful but got a lot of positive feedback on the call and was encouraged to reapply. they have a limited number of work experience entries on the application form. their scheme was my most recent work. should I use an entry to talk about what I did and what skills I demonstrated during the vac scheme I did at their firm, or focus on other earlier experiences (would be the same ones I used last year when I successfully got the vs). on the one hand, using an entry about their vac scheme it proves my insight and experience at the firm and means I know they will consider my previous performance with them. on the other, if they would do that anyway I could be using that entry to showcase other work I have done, like last year. I emailed grad rec who gave an "it's up to you" response. I would appreciate some advice please as I haven't been in this position before! thank you [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] @ anyone with insight :) [/QUOTE]
