[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 31554, member: 2672"] 1) you haven’t got a lack of vacation schemes. You have one - this is a strong position to be in. 2) everything about your experiences suggests a very strong profile which again will put you in strong contention if you can write a good application/explain why you want to do the job 3) Winter schemes are not necessarily more or less competitive than summer schemes. It’s one of those candidate urban myths that perpetuates every cycle 4) some firms will be willing to move you to a TC assessment or another vacation scheme, but there is no general rule for that. It’s always done on a case by case basis -lethal can every vary within the same firm depending on the circumstances of the individual and also the opportunities the firm has at the time of making that decision. There’s no point contacting firms until you get to that position though. At best find out which firms you would be eligible to apply more than one per cycle and make judgements from there. [/QUOTE]
