[QUOTE="Nicole, post: 845, member: 16"] Another anonymous Ashurst future trainee (for a vacation scheme) First off, congratulations to your mentee for securing an interview! Ashurst's vacation scheme assessment day is split into two - a case study and an interview with a member of graduate recruitment (unless they have changed this). For the case study, I would tell your mentee to brush up on their commercial knowledge. Personally, I found Chris Stoakes' 'Know the City' invaluable to prepare. Also, be aware of the time pressure - you only get 1 hour to write the case study, and it goes by quickly. Be sure to answer the prompt fully, giving both sides of the argument. Otherwise, for the interview portion of the day, your mentee should prepare the standard motivational questions - why this firm, why commercial law, why be a solicitor. I would also recommend that they look over their own CV and try to match the characteristics asked for by Ashurst when they're looking at potential employees. These can be found on Ashurst's graduate recruitment website. I would put special emphasis on the ability to work in a team. Hope this helps - good luck to your mentee! [/QUOTE]
