HFW vacation scheme offer🥰 thankyou for all the support on this forum, you guys are inspirational!
Hi, I've been a silent observer of this forum for a month or so now, but just made an account because I received an interview invite this morning (first time I have made it to this stage for any firm) and I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, is it worth sending a reply? I only ask this because the email says that I will receive a further email next week offering me a selection of interview dates to choose from, so not sure if it is necessary. My natural inclination is to reply to the email just to say thank you, I guess I'm more just wondering if this is something other people do. Secondly, if I am receiving another email next week to choose dates, when can I actually expect these interview options to be? Just trying to factor in how much time I have to prepare.
These questions might seem super obvious but this is my first cycle and first interview so some clarification would be great. Thanks!

On a completely separate note, has anyone else here received an online assessment invite from Michelmores this week but not have any idea when their deadline is for completing it? Tried looking online but I can't find any answers.

Congratulations on getting the vacation scheme offer, this is a huge milestone!!
I shared some tips on how to convert a vacation scheme to a training contract and I basically did everything that I listed there, the post in question is here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-169320
There is also another post with great advice here:

During the scheme you will have a training contract interview, a group assessment and a written exercise. You will also be assessed on a piece of research that graduate recruitment will give you as well as tasks that your supervisors will give you. It sounds like a lot but everything is very doable, you just have to focus throughout the week and you will be fine!
My experience at the firm was very good, I felt very comfortable the entire time, and the firm is also very diverse compared to others I interacted with, plus their work with startup and venture capital (which is what drawn me to the firm in the first place) just pushed me to accept my offer.
I hope that is helpful and good luck!
