[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 2669, member: 1"] Vacation scheme questions are getting more difficult! I agree with Selma. Some tips for Q2: [LIST] [*]Do some research into the big business/legal changes and disruptions. There are so many to choose from here, so narrow it down to a) topics you are interested in (because then your answers will be interesting), and b) topics that are more relevant to Linklaters (e.g. law firm IPOs and alternative business structures may be less relevant for a firm like Linklaters than cyber security issues.) [*]Be opinionated/evaluative rather than descriptive -- what do [I]you [/I]think about the impact on the industry. [*]Use evidence to back up your opinions. [*]Tailor the impact to Linklaters and not just law firms generically. [*]Put as much effort into your writing as you do into your content -- write simply, use short sentences, check your grammar and punctuation etc. [/LIST] To be honest, while a lot of candidates may do AI/GDPR, I don't think that's a huge issue. I'd much rather you wrote a well-written, tailored answer about the impact of GDPR on Linklaters than an unclear, technical piece on upcoming derivatives regulations. [/QUOTE]
