Super excited to have been offered a TC - only my second cycle but still felt like the most demoralising process at times - 7 assessment centres leading to 6 rejections over the two cycles but it only takes that one yes! Just here to spread a bit of positivity and give the reminder that even...- Caitlin

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi @Jessica Booker! I have an interview coming up for a TC with an international commercial firm next week (had a place on their VS which was cancelled) and have spent a while perfecting my 'why commercial law' answer. I remember in the VS interview they asked me 'why law' rather than...- Caitlin

No they’ll still be working - they don’t work to the undergraduate calendar! Teaching is only a tiny part of their jobs :)- Caitlin

Interview/Open Day/Vacation Scheme Updates- Coronavirus
Hi Jessica, to expand on this last bit - do you mean for example if a firm solely recruits through VS they’re more likely to make direct TC offers before the VS, or hold some type of virtual scheme and assess from this? Thanks :)- Caitlin

Ahhh thank you at least it's not just me thinking it's harsh haha! I'm thinking maybe I didn't do anything per se wrong in the interview, but they just didn't think I was a good fit/they thought there were simply just better candidates, and wanted to just try to give me some form of constructive...- Caitlin

Haha, yes I asked two questions - the interview is generally with one partner but I had a second sitting in (as he was 'in training' to be a grad rec partner) so I asked about what motivated them to become grad rec partners, and the second one was about the firm's success in increasing numbers...- Caitlin
