What firm had the most interesting approach to organising an open day, in your experience?
...a unique structure, interactive workshops that felt like real work experience, or perhaps the managing partners turned up to say hello!
One that sticks in my mind is Skadden. The firm organised a speed networking session where small groups of visitors had 10 mins with one or two firm employees, from graduate recruitment staff to partners. After 10 mins, someone blew a whistle (really!) and everyone changed places. Visitors were guaranteed a chance to speak to everyone, every department, every practice area representative. No one left feeling like they had missed out on an opportunity.
