[QUOTE="j.s.cox, post: 126218, member: 20454"] [B][U]Norton Rose Fulbright Vacation Scheme Day 9[/U][/B] [U][I]Work Shadowing[/I][/U] I finished the time I was given for the benchmarking task I was given today. I didn't manage to finish it all, but when I talked to the associate about this, she said that she hadn't expected me to finish the task and she woud expect me to take about a day the first time I did something like this. That definitely made me feel a lot better about my ability. I also got to sit in a really exciting call today. I wish I could give more detail about what actually happened because I thought it was brilliant, but unfortunately that's not possible. One thing I can say is that it is fantastic to see the dynamic of a team in a negotiation. I particularly enjoyed watching the partner who was sitting in and seeing their style of negotiation. She was so knowledgeable! [U][I]Final TC Inteview[/I][/U] This was hard.
