[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1380, member: 1"] Agreed. I suggest you check out the [URL='https://www.slaughterandmay.com/careers/trainee-solicitors//'][U]Slaughter and May graduate page[/U][/URL]. If you have questions after reading the website -- for example, if you would like the firm to expand on a particular topic -- you can ask those to HR. For example (and this is after a quick skim of the Slaughter and May website, so you may well know the answers to these questions): [LIST] [*]How does Slaughter and May ensure trainees stay in contact with the firm during a secondment? How are secondments allocated? What about client secondments - where can trainees go? Can students second to law firms in Slaughter and May's best friend network? [*]How are starting seats allocated? [*]What are the opportunities for pro bono work? [*]Is there a induction when trainees start? [*]Does Slaughter and May continue to have a relationship with its future trainees during the GDL/LPC? [*]Do trainees have appraisals? How regular are these? [/LIST] Just make sure you aren't asking questions which aren't appropriate for HR. For example, it'll come across poorly if you ask them about the impact of rising interest rates on law firms. Many of the best questions come as responses to the questions you are asked during the interview because they come across as genuine. For example: "You asked me about my participation in XYZ mentoring. How does the firm treat mentoring? Are there any formal mentoring programmes within the firm?" [/QUOTE]
