[QUOTE="FutureTrainee_101, post: 228746, member: 43453"] Hi there! Short answer: there isn’t a central list on this website that sets out which firms allow multiple applications per cycle. As a general rule, [B]most firms only permit one application per recruitment cycle[/B], and they’ll usually make this clear on their own careers pages or application portals. That normally means one vacation scheme [I]or[/I] one training contract application in a given year, rather than multiple. You’re right that [B]NRF and Covington[/B] are commonly cited examples of firms that allow more flexibility, but they’re very much the exception rather than the norm. A few general points that might help: [LIST] [*]Many firms will let you apply to [B]both an open day and a vacation scheme[/B], as these are often treated as separate programmes. [*]Some firms allow applications to [B]different intakes of the same scheme[/B] (e.g. winter and summer vacation schemes), but others treat this as a single application - it really varies. [*]Even where multiple applications are technically allowed, firms expect them to be [B]consistent and well-reasoned[/B], not duplicated. [/LIST] The safest approach is always to check each firm’s recruitment FAQs and make a simple tracker noting: [LIST] [*]how many applications are allowed per cycle, [*]which programmes count as separate, [*]and any restrictions on offices or intakes. [/LIST] Hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
