    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey guys, if asked about at an interview with a firm about a recent deal of theirs that interests you, should you only stick to a deal that involved that particular office (in this case the London office)? Also, is it a good approach to talk about a deal which interests you due to your interest...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Thanks. I guess for questions like "why this firm" and "why you" I thought it would be a good idea to give two or three reasons and back my reasons up with personal experiences.

    Hi @Jessica Booker I have a partner interview coming up and I'm wondering how long each response to a question should be. I'm currently around 2-3 minutes as I'm giving about 2-3 detailed answers in response and I'm wondering if that's too long.

    Currently preparing for an upcoming interview which will include a verbal commercial case study. However, it seems like we will not be receiving any documents/information on the case study ahead of the interview. Has anyone come up against this kind of on-the-spot case study in previous...

    I think so. They don't have that many TC places anyway and I dont think they're looking to fill all the places available until 2023 from this year's schemes.

    Ah I must have missed that. Mine could have gone worse tbh. Managed to get most of my thoughts down but feel like I missed a couple points too. But it seems like you can never hit all the points so maybe don't worry too much (I say that while equally worrying over here 😅)

    Hi Chloe - I've just finished mine too and wondering if you got any kind of email notification after you submitted yours?

    Hey - I think how you structure your answers is also quite important. A tip I saw on here which I have followed is going into depth on 2/3 points per answer rather than touching on a lot of points very briefly. It's also quite useful to signpost your answers (firstly, secondly, etc) so the...

    Hi Naomi Thanks for the response. This is exactly the problem I was having - seems that there's a few different ways you could interpret a question like this. For instance, my initial reasoning was that it is geared at testing your commercial awareness so I would have just spoke about a...

    Yes it is. I was thinking about talking about a semiconductor manufacturer I've been following and their unique history and positioning currently due to the global chip shortage and US pressures (both economic and political). But I started thinking maybe that kind of question would be asking...

    Doing some interview prep and focusing on commercial awareness. How would you approach a question that asked what business other than a law firm you are interested in? Heard a few conflicting approaches so just trying to get more views on this.
