Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 217334" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hi [USER=40014]@RaniaH062002[/USER] Sorry to hear about the open day rejection - I completely understand that it’s disheartening, but it definitely doesn’t mean that you are out of the running for the vacation scheme. Open day and vacation scheme applications are often assessed separately, and graduate recruitment are typically looking for different elements in each. Additionally, firms understand that people develop their applications over time, and you might have improved your commercial awareness or just written a stronger application by the time you apply for the vacation scheme.Open days are extremely competitive, and it often comes down to very small margins. This doesn’t necessarily mean you are not a strong candidate!It is absolutely still worth applying for the vacation scheme, especially if:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You can tailor your vacation scheme application specifically to HSF Kramer’s work, values, and culture.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You show genuine motivation and development since your last application.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">You’ve taken time to make clear links between your skills / experiences and what the firm looks for in a vacation scheme candidate (e.g. teamwork, commercial awareness, communication)</li> </ol>People do get rejected from open days and still secure vacation schemes or training contracts - it’s more common than you’d think! Definitely don’t count yourself out, as it’s always worth applying. Best of luck <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
