[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 80395, member: 2672"] Don’t force questions - ask those that you are truly interested in knowing the answer to from that person, and obviously ensure the question is appropriate for the person you are asking. I wouldn’t contact “anyone”. Most people do something that is interesting. I’d be more selective. Think about why you are asking that specific person over someone else. You could probably ask 10 other people who have a similar background/experience to them in the firm, so try to think more about what you will get out of that specific meeting out of the others you could go to. There’s also no point speaking to 3 people who are also going to give you a similar meeting. Your time and energy are actually precious on a vac scheme, so organising too many meetings could be risky. Also remember that in a hour long meeting you will probably only get to ask about 8 questions, so focus on those most relevant to you finding out more about the firm and why it might be right for you, and tailored to the individual you are meeting.
