    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    Lol me too, but I did one for the Skadden vac scheme and made a couple typos but was still successful! Think they realise it's hugely time pressured. Also heard it likely to be on a business looking to grow etc... so brush up on SWOT / Porter's and know how to draft a memo to a client / board!

    Same! I did a vac scheme interview with them last year (unsuccessful) and it wasn't bad at all, I just didn't come prepared enough really. Hopefully TC won't be too different!

    Honestly I thought it went quite well! Probably just didn’t stress why Jones Day over other firms enough / why the non-rotational TC
