[QUOTE="average_jo123, post: 113449, member: 15838"] Hi all, was hoping to get a bit of insight about direct TC apps. I have a vac scheme in July, but I was planning to send a few direct TC applications (deadlines vary between May and July) in case I fail to convert. 1. Should I include my vac scheme (which I have not completed yet) in my direct TC application? I've had some legal work experience in the past, but I think the vac scheme I'll do this July will probably the most substantive legal work experience under my belt - but I would not have completed the vac scheme yet when I send out my direct TC apps (but would have completed the vac scheme if I do get invited to interview for direct TC in August/September). Should I still include it (noting that it's forthcoming, of course)? 2. No networking For all of my vac scheme applications this cycle, I included interactions I've had with trainees at open days, law fairs, Legal Cheek and AllAboutLaw events (e.g. questions I asked, what I learnt from the conversation and how that made the firm appeal to me etc) to demonstrate my personal interest in the firm. I'm at the point of the recruitment cycle where it's too late to apply for open days, and I've not had any interaction with people from the firms I plan to make direct TC applications to. How do you write a TC application that still shows that you are genuinely interested in the firm if you've not interacted with them personally? [/QUOTE]
