It's great that you already have that experience and TC offer under your belt, and shows your capability and commitment to law.In terms of how to present it, I would definitely discuss the vacation scheme, as it is valuable experience that gives you examples for competency and motivational questions. In relation to mentioning the TC offer, I would simply acknowledge it in a professional way (e.g. "I was offered a TC following my scheme but decided I was better suited to an international environment where I could gain exposure to cross-border work"). You could even link in experiences from the vacation scheme that reaffirmed your interest in international work, strengthening your motivations to the firm you are applying for (if used correctly).The key is to make sure that you frame it as a positive experience where you learned a lot, rather than leveraging it.I hope that helps, and best of luck with your applications <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
