[QUOTE="cls33, post: 132810, member: 25063"] [B]Update[/B] This week i've started actively preparing towards my Slaughters interview. It's still a while away, but since I scheduled a mock interview in three days with my Grow mentor I figured I better start preparing my answers. I also got a Taylor Wessing PFO post games-based assessment this week, which felt disheartening in the moment as I attended an open day there and the application form was quite long... but onwards and upwards. Yesterday I had a really nice coffee chat with a girl at my uni who did Slaughters vac scheme last summer and has a TC offer with them, and found it super valuable in terms of how to structure my answers, what qualities they are looking for, and specific knowledge about the process and firm. I felt it enabled me to understand that they want you to be yourself (not just who you think they want you to be on paper), and that you're good enough on paper and they want you, you're just there to prove to them why you deserve it. I felt like she had a great outlook on the whole process and it was very refreshing to hear that perspective with a lot of career stress hanging over me atm. This week I have: [LIST] [*]Initiated and completed coffee chat with girl who has Slaughters offer [*]Roughly drafted some motivational interview answers [*]Signed up for TCLA Gold and completed the courses: TCLA Premium and Gold Induction (100%), How to Prepare for a Law Firm AC (43%), Law Firm Profiles: Understand the differences between law firms (14%) [*]Caught up on FT briefings I've missed since Christmas and bullet-pointed them in my commercial awareness document [*]Combined all the Slaughter specific advice i've gotten through LinkedIn, TCLA etc. in one document [/LIST] The upcoming week I want to: [LIST] [*]Draft lots of interview answers to prepare for Wednesdays mock [*]Practice answering questions out loud and thinking on my feet (thinking of using Quizlet to make a big question bank) [*]Finish the TCLA AC course and complete another course [*]Keep up the general commercial awareness, but also start finding specific news stories to follow and look more into them (currently interested in following tech industry layoffs/changes post-Covid and the EU/US competition tension in terms of the IRA/Carbon Tax) [*]Book a TCLA mock interview [/LIST] I am still waiting to hear back from Freshfields and Bakers and i'm crossing my fingers for some good news!!
