A few important things to note: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can include other firms’ vacation schemes. Recruiters expect it, and it’s not seen as disloyal or awkward.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keep the focus on what you did and learned, not on praising the firm itself. Frame it around skills, exposure, and insight rather than 'how great Firm X was'.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Translate the experience into transferable takeaways: teamwork, commercial awareness, drafting, client exposure, feedback, managing deadlines, etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Where helpful, subtly bridge to the firm you’re applying to by showing how the experience clarified what you’re now looking for - without naming comparisons.</li> </ul>For example, instead of:You might write:Used properly, prior vacation schemes can really strengthen an application - they show commitment and that you’re making informed choices.I hope this helps!</blockquote>
