Hi, does anyone have any advice for the Debevoise AC /Open Day? There will be an interview based on an FT article so I was wondering if anyone has any advice on that as well? Thank you!
Hi! I can't confirm as I haven't had mine yet, however from what I gather from others there is no interview. Check your TopScore, as I believe it sets out the running order and plan for the AC and mine doesn't include time for an interview! Hope this helps and best of luck, you will do greatHi there,
I have my Osborne Clarke AC very shortly. Can anyone confirm whether it will include an interview or whether it will just be WG's and commerical tasks?
Thanks in advance!
I've seen people mention they have AC invites from a couple weeks back so I have assumed PFO by this pointAnyone else still waiting for Akin Gump post WG?
Besides choosing what you’re interested in, I guess I’d say try to do a seat in both a transactional and a contentious seat (if both are an option) - try out the best of both worlds!Does anyone have any advice on choosing vac scheme departments? I will of course choose what I find interesting and want to experience, but can anyone give any further recommendations?
I would definitely do it! I know people who got a direct TC without a vac scheme and 0 years work experience (legal or non-legal)
I'm not sure how common - I think these things all involve a little luck but I am sure you can do it!wowza, how common is this? and so you think there was anything that made them stand out?
Not less competitive - sometimes the numbers say more competitive, but I guess it depends what you're stronger at! I was good at interviews and bad at vac schemes... but I have a TC to show for it nonethelessThis may be a stupid question but what are the differences between Direct TC and VS application process? I would imagine TC apps to be more rigid but is it less competitive compared to VS?
Well done on getting the Open Day! It involves a lot of talks and one interview if I recall, almost all based on an article that they give you an hour beforehandHi, does anyone have any advice for the Debevoise AC /Open Day?

Thank you!! I applied on the deadline daycongratulations! When did you apply for Gibson?🙂
I’m curious to know what you mean by being “bad” at vac schemes? Did you find them particularly difficult to stand out in? Or did you find it hard to talk about it in the TC interview? (Sorry if these are too personal!)Not less competitive - sometimes the numbers say more competitive, but I guess it depends what you're stronger at!

Not too personal at all - to this day I am not quite sure what I mean either except for the fact that I was not very successful 🤣 I mean I could walk you through all the specific ways I think I fell down but it won't be particularly insightful as it was rather assessment-specific and it could just sound like I'm making excuses hahaI’m curious to know what you mean by being “bad” at vac schemes?

You could be asked about turn over/profits. They are unlikely to ask about what you are paying employees but might be interested to know how many employees you have.Hey everyone, bit of a unique question today - I have a CV based interview coming up and I wrote down that I run a small business. Could the law firm ask me questions like "what is your annual turnover, profit margins, how much you pay your employees/in tax" like really dragon den style questions to test my commercial awareness or are questions like these construed as inappropriate?
Congratsss!! What office?Eversheds Vac offer! Can’t believe I was once stressing I’d never get an offer and now I have two
