How to covert your Vacation Scheme into a Training Contract offer!

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel!
My name is Nadine and I am a 'Future Magic Circle Trainee'.
I created the platform 'Legally Diverse' to help aspiring solicitors reach their career goals a lot quicker than I did!
In this video, I provide you with my TOP 13 TIPS for converting your Vacation Scheme experience into a Training Contract offer! I go into a lot of detail about how you can impress graduate recruitment, your supervisor and any person you meet at the firm, so that you receive all of the recommendations and positive feedback you need ! I provide examples of my own experience (having done two vacation schemes in the past) and I share ultimately what I did to make my scheme a success.
Please watch until the end, as I have included a couple of giveaways for you throughout the video which I hope will help you stay organised whilst on the Vacation Scheme.
Massive congratulations for getting to this stage of the recruitment process. I hope you find my tips yourself, and I wish you all the best in your upcoming Vacation Scheme!

[@LegallyDiverse]

Hey Precious, just sent you an email! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!

[@zahrazare2545]

Very informative and helpful! Thank you so much. Did you sit in the Dispute Resolution department for two weeks? Did you choose your seat? Also, can I have the tracker please? Thanks x

[@LegallyDiverse]

Hey Zahra, thank you so much, really glad you found it helpful! Yes I sat in DR for the full two weeks and was able to engage in many tasks for example drafting, research and document review. Prior to the vacation scheme starting, you are asked to submit your department preferences to the trainee recruitment team and then they will do their best to put you in one of your top choices. DR was my top choice and I got it, so was really happy about that! Yes absolutely. Please send me an email ([e-mail]) requesting the trackers and I will email them over to you :)

[@Aprightioulous]

Trackers please :) very informative video

[@LegallyDiverse]

[@elsadonnat5956]

Hi! when you say on the first day of the scheme you sent out about 20 emails to learn from ppl in other department. Could you give some concrete examples of what you would say in those emails? Would you ask your questions directly and expect an answer by email? would you ask for a call? Is it ever appropriate to just knock on their door if they've never heard of you? could you ask for a lunch? Thank you for all these insights !!!

[@bri2049]

Thank you for sharing these tips, particularly the ones on how to manage expectations while showing enthusiasm! If you’re still able to send it, can I please have the tracker?
