[QUOTE="Shane O'Hanlon, post: 10142, member: 1699"] Hi everybody, I'm about to start applying for direct TCs for this summer. I am in my penultimate year and only just completed my first round of Vac Scheme applications and interviews,so I am just wondering what to expect from applying directly..is it much different? I am also concerned about the need to have met and interacted with the firm before applying for a TC. Obviously that's best practice, but as an Irish student it's quite difficult to go to various open days and presentations as that requires flying to London during term time..which is not always feasible. Would it be enough just to reach out to grad recruiters and trainees via linkedin. I have been on exchange this year as we'll..making this even more difficult. Lastly, I am just wondering how much legal experience you are expected to have when applying directly. I did an internship at a large commercial firm in Dublin last summer and have an upcoming vac scheme at a U.S firm and another internship at a Dublin commercial firm lined up for this summer. Is this enough experience or should I prepare to apply for another round of vac schemes instead? Thank you [/QUOTE]
