    I can’t believe it but I got a call yesterday offering me a vac scheme at my favourite firm!!!! (asked not to disclose until a week or so). Last year I never made it to interview, so it feels very surreal to have actually progressed!

    For a 2 min VI question of what skills a lawyer needs, what is the best structure to go with? Should it be name 2-3 attributes/skills, link to the role of a lawyer and then link to my own experience? Should the final part be STAR structure?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
