[QUOTE="LillyandSilver, post: 179401, member: 31510"] Right, so the Scheme. We rotated through every department, which was nice because I really got a feel for each one and I never thought that contentious probate would be for me but apparently, I live for drama 💅 Having every piece of work we did submitted for review was quite gruelling but the tasks were hands-on and actually quite fun if you let go of the idea that we were being assessed. The thing I did note was just how insane the people on the scheme were with me. So bright, so amazing. It was very intimidating being around them, and I'm a bit ashamed that it did get to me. I went last out of all the presentations on the last day and after watching everyone else the nerves kind of took me out which made me really upset since speaking had always been the thing I was best at. It couldn't have gone that badly but it really got me down. The trainees were wonderful, so chill and so lovely, they really treated us like we already worked there which at the time didn't help my feelings because I was so determined not to get attached in case I got rejected. Now I can't wait to see them again. The final interview was also perfect. I think someone upstairs was smiling down on me because a lot of the questions they asked about how I would approach legal situations were things I had already been asked in previous interviews or prepped for. It was very much a conversation where they wanted to know how we thought rather than what we knew but having some knowledge did help in making me more relaxed. If anyone wants to know anymore please feel free to reach out but otherwise, I think I might actually get round to sharing some interview tips now I know that they work. xoxo Lilly [/QUOTE]
