@Abbie Whitlock Reed Smith">@Abbie Reed Smith hey I have an upcoming vs at a contentious firm, do you have any tips to prepare, thank you in advance
@Abbie Whitlock I’m looking for your advice. I had an interview for a TC today! They asked me about my current job, where I stated that I manage my own casework load of clients! Then they proceeded to ask: how can you be sure then you’ll be able to work within a team?
I said: even tho I have my own clients at work, the day to day job requires teamwork and collaboration with colleagues everyday. For example, last week a colleague was sick and I had to jump in to take her case . In order to work on her case I had to work with two different colleagues. By teamworking we got it submitted on time- collaborated effectively, asked questions etc. also, I was a sales assistant for years which required constant teamwork/ teamwork to boost sales targets. Also, i don’t just think of teamwork in work situations. I teamwork in my day to day life around my hobbies, teamwork is central to my hobbies. For example I participate in hyrox and I do that with a teammate. And I also do mooting competitions where teamwork is essential ( and I gave STAR example of teamwork moot)
Anything you would change? Thank you so much.

Reed Smith Spring VS offer!! Genuinely shocked. Thought I absolutely messed that one up and my WiFi disconnected three times during the interview... my face was bright red on camera for a solid 45 minutes. PM me if you've also received an offer— would be great to virtually meet people before the VS!!
People still messaging me asking for clyde and co insights even after I got a post-VI PFO. Happy im able to find the humour in that still. Hope my life reputation doesn't end up being "clyde & co" guy
Yeah they’re really cool!
After I applied, I got a job as a paralegal and my firm has sports law offerings, so I quickly emailed them to inform them that
Appreciate the wishes
I am in the same boat. I graduated 6 months ago and have been trying to break into the industry ever since, doing a part-time job, but as you said, it hasn't been great. I don't think you should apologise for feeling that way; anyone who has gone through the process or is going through it knows how incredibly exhausting and isolating it can be. It is okay to feel upset, just don't let it consume you. At the end of the day, the fact that you're working hard and doing your best matters most. I don't want to sound corny, but I just tell myself that everyone has their own journey, and it is ok if it may take a little longer than others to reach the same goal, whatever is meant to be will be. You're not alone; you will find something. Just don't lose hope and keep taking breaks!! Good luck!!

If anyone has advice or insight on Goodwin AC pls PM me! It’s my first AC so feeling nervous
I just opened TikTok and the first thing I saw was "What is not meant for you will disappoint you a thousand times until you understand." I have to turn off the phone to pick up my jaw from the floor.
Is there a video element on the Marriot Harrison assessment please? Or was it just the usual tests?
