    That makes sense. I’m just a bit anxious because I only have one VS and don’t think I can go through another cycle 😅

    This may be a weird question, but how likely are you to convert your first VS?

    Hi guys! I’ve been lucky enough to secure a summer vacation scheme this cycle. I’m quite new to the UK, and while I’ve done commercial law internships back in my home country, I have very little idea about how vacation schemes work. I get that you’re assessed on the work you do as well more...

    Has anyone else got an AC invite for Mishcon summer? Do they send it out in batches?

    Does anyone have any insight on Osborne Clarke’s in-person assessment centre panel interview? What sort of questions are likely to be asked?

    This question may have been asked before, but how best do you go about structuring an answer to the question “introduce yourself/tell us about yourself” in an interview?

    Hi @Jessica Booker, I had a slight doubt about an upcoming VI. If in case I’m asked same/similar questions as the application form, do I need bring up new points or elaborate on the points already mentioned in my application. For instance, if I’m asked “why X firm” in the VI, I see how I can...
