Message: <blockquote data-quote="apap" data-source="post: 217972" data-attributes="member: 39547">Hello [USER=30879]@ReedSmithBecca[/USER] and [USER=38193]@RikPalmer-ReedSmith[/USER]Thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. I have three questions:a. If one made it past application stage for DTC in the last cycle, how different should one's written application be for the vacation scheme given the questions are identical? Aside from gaining more experiences, should the motivations be changed or is it safe to keep the motivations more or less the same?b. What is Reed Smith's approach to business development? I am aware that firms host events for prospective clients, the typical relationship building with clients through entertaining them (to an extent and in a professional way of course) and through the firm publishing insights. Is there any other way Reed Smith goes about finding new clients and retaining them? As a bonus question, and if you are aware of this, how has business development changed for Reed Smith over the last 15-20 years?c. I did not make it past the video interview stage and the online assessment  - I cannot tell whether my online assessment score was what stopped me from moving past this stage or my video interview. In terms of the video interview, are you looking for answers that are more trainee level? I am a career changer with leadership experience so sometimes I answer from my experience and seniority. When assessing VIs, do you assess them in terms how aligned they are with early talent level or is the context of the candidate's experience taken into consideration?Thank you in advance for your time!!</blockquote>
