    Interview skills

    Does anyone have any ideas on ways of improving interview skills? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you :) (I have applied to overseas, instead of London, offices. They are unable to provide feedback even though applicants have reached the final assessment stages)

    follow-up thank you emails

    If a firm allows applicants to make both vac scheme app + TC app at once, is it advisable to do so? Or will they question applicants' decisions as it seems they do not know what they actually want? Any thought is much appreciated :)

    Just out of curiosity-- I know of a few 2nd year law students who have recently secured TC at Clifford Chance. I thought the firm does not start interviewing until Jan 2019?
