Contact during the Christmas period
Hi All, Just something I wanted to flag up, so I can feel a little less guilty! I'm completely floored at the moment and it's quite a challenge to respond to the number of messages I receive. So I can make this more efficient: If you have a general question you wanted to ask me, please could...- Jaysen

Shearman & Sterling Vacation Scheme Interview 2019
Thanks to @AS98 for sharing this: "It was an hour HR/associate interview that was mainly competency questions (tell me about a time...why law, why Shearman, commercial news) so they really just want to see who you are. They could tell that I was slightly nervous in the beginning and said that...- Jaysen

DAC Beachcroft
There's no one way to tackle this answer but your approach sounds great and is probably what I'd do i.e. pick a few specific reasons and really develop why that interests me (tying it back to my experiences where relevant).- Jaysen

Totally screwed up video interview
Really sorry to hear that. I'm very much like this - I'll practice to death, think I'm prepared and then blank on the real thing. At least it can only get better from here!- Jaysen

Time management
It’s very tough - and I’m curious to know how you guys do this too. I was actually given an exam bar in my final year at university because I chose to prioritise applications over the other stuff. (Just meant I had to have 100% attendance or I wasn’t allowed to take my exams!)- Jaysen

Noticed a typo after submission
As did I...my first vacation scheme offer was from a firm that I'd spelt wrong throughout the whole of the application! (I got very lucky there.) Personally, it's one-off/not obvious, I think you'd be okay to just leave it rather than drawing attention to it. I know it's very frustrating, but...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
I always find it hard to know what to say here because there's no way round it being a really rubbish situation. I remember my rejections well and I know they don't get any easier - if anything, they get worse because you feel you have improved a lot from previous interviews. I think it's great...- Jaysen

Shearman & Sterling Winter Vacation Scheme
Yeah I take it to mean they may interview before the deadline but they won't give out vacation scheme places. A few non-rolling firms do this - they don't 'recruit' on a rolling basis, but they may interview candidates beforehand due to the volume of applications.- Jaysen
