2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

[Jacob Miller]

I can't believe I've gotten this but I have a Taylor Wessing Assessment Centre! I thought I was done for this cycle after about 103826138 rejections. Any advice on how to approach negotiation based exercises would be so helpful!! TIA xxxxxx

Hi, I would advise consulting my article on assessed negotiations if you've not already had a look: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ssed-negotiations-monday-article-series.3018/

Anyone have any advice for the Reed Smith AC? Have it tomorrow and feeling all kinds of nervous!!

I had mine yesterday, I personally felt I couldn't have really prepped for it! The interview is strength and career based so the questions can be a bit out there but the partners were so nice about repeating questions so don't be afraid to ask! Just also make sure you've researched the firm thoroughly and know why you want to work at Reed Smith in particular. The case study was actually okay, you have plenty of time to prepare and the interviewers do prompt you a little to lead you in the right direction, everyone was so friendly and encouraging so honestly don't feel too tense! I really hope you smash it!
