[QUOTE="nisadee, post: 112601, member: 3352"] Hi [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER] I have a few questions regarding a vac scheme I'll be starting very soon! I'd really appreciate your advice on my concerns. 1) In my vac scheme interview, they asked me what firms I applied to and I only mentioned their competitors. However, I actually ended up securing vac schemes at another two firms which are hugely different from theirs- like, completely different- think Latham and Farrer & Co different. Ultimately, their firm is my dream firm but I applied to lots of firms as I know how competitive the process is and how a lot of it comes down to numbers and luck. I feel in my final TC interview they'll ask about any other offers. Should I disclose these firms? I'm worried I'll be scrutinised for my choices and how I can convincingly rationalise this to them. On the other hand, if I kept it to myself, would this be the better approach? I've also heard mentioning you have multiple offers makes you look like a stronger candidate? 2) Do you have any tips on how to remain calm and perform well on group negotiations and presentations? Group assessed tasks always make me the most nervous. 3) And finally, any last minute tips on how to deal with imposter syndrome? I still can't believe I was selected for this vac scheme. Thank you so much! [/QUOTE]
