I think the two other candidates assessing with me  on one of my ACs had never done vac schemes and were applying direct too so when you get the invite, don't let this bother you!Just be really clear on your motivations and make sure you are super happy and confident in delivering answers on 'why law?', 'why the city?', 'why corporate law?', 'why an international law firm?'. Also, definitely think and prepare answers to things like 'what is your understanding of due diligence?' and 'what do you think our trainees do?' These questions will not be to throw you off but just for them to be happy that a) you know what the career entails and b) that you have thought hard about it and can deliver a clear narrative on your 'whys'.Hope these little suggestions help and good luck! You might be surprised to have been invited but they already see your great potential - I was told by another candidate once to see ACs as a formality above anything else as it is just their final pass to see who you really are and what you are about. With that said, just be yourself! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
