    Summer Scheme vs Direct TC for Slaughters

    Thank you both for the replies! I have not been to interview stage at SM before so I should not face that hurdle you mention. I did a US firm vac scheme this summer so I feel Direct TC should be the way to go too now that you support it too.

    Remote VS/TC Interviews and Assessment Centres

    I personally developed this because I used to practice for my initial in-office ACs using a webcam/mirror as well. So after a few ACs and couple of TCLA mock interviews, it became a reflex action for me to look only into the camera when it was my turn to speak. I am not sure how effective...

    Remote VS/TC Interviews and Assessment Centres

    I successfully did my AC for Latham's summer scheme a few weeks ago. I personally felt that doing the interview from home made the experience a lot simpler and relaxed. The stress of reaching the office on time or walking into someone else's office can often hurt your focus. There are generally...

    Mathieu told me tomorrow was his "last round" of interviews and the AC is in the second week of February. I am afraid today might be the last round but I may have misunderstood. My friend has still not received any response yet as well.
