[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 113459, member: 16764"] Hi [USER=15838]@jo[/USER] congratulations on your vac scheme and I really admire your drive to continue putting in applications! Both [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER] and I had success with the direct TC route so I think that your approach is quite resourceful :) To answer your first question, I would put down your vac scheme in your direct TC application, because, in my view it cannot hurt and basically serves as a way of showing the recruiters that you have been vetted by another top firm. See my post about this [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-vacation-scheme-applications-discussion-thread-2021-22-1.4197/post-112032']here[/URL]. Also, given that you will have completed the vac scheme by the time of your interview, it will mean you have actual work experience to discuss, so I see no harm in mentioning it pre-emptively. I would not worry too much about networking - I only ever went to a couple of open days and I am not sure they made a huge difference. As long as you have well thought through motivations for the firms you are applying to then you should be fine :) I hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
