2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
I had a vac scheme interview the other day and keep thinking about the fact that the senior partner cracked a joke about wanting to get drunk with his mates at the pub lol. Is it a good thing that he was joking around or do you think he was trying to catch me out to see how I’d respond ...- NK

That does make more sense actually! In my application confirmation email, it said they’d come back in January, but I’m guessing that isn’t the case now.- NK

Ah perfect, I'll definitely apply then. I think I can only apply for the TC as the vac scheme dates clash with my GDL exams, unfortunately - thank you for your help!- NK

Mayer Brown Tests
I felt exactly the same after my interview - couldn’t quite tell if I aced it or did badly haha. In hindsight, I wish I expanded further on some of the examples I provided but was worried I’d waffle and not answer the question properly. Did you bring in past examples of ECs and work experience...- NK
