[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 167409, member: 30937"] Hey [USER=33134]@TonyStark[/USER], I totally understand your drive and I do applaud you for starting to prepare now so you are ready when you do receive assessment centres (which you will soon!!!). I did share some tips in this post and I hope it is useful for you!: [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-vacation-scheme-applications-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-167210[/URL] For case study/article interviews what I would recommend is: [LIST=1] [*]Practice talking about commercial articles with your friends and family: this helped me a lot with confidence and controlling my nerves. I used to ask my friends to send me random commercial articles and debate on them for some time and I wanted them to challenge me on every point I made. [*]Keep up to date with commercial news reading commercial news article, use LinkedIn and follow the law firms you have applied to and read the deals they have worked on, study the practice areas you might be interested in and what trainee and lawyers do in them. Additionally, what I used to do was reading an article and summarise it in writing and make considerations as to the links to be made to the legal sector and that helped a lot in understanding how to link commercial news to the legal sector. [*]Reach out to people who did the same assessments at the same firms so you can hear their experiences and they might help you with tips and suggestions. This was fundamental for my preparation when I was applying so I would definitely do this all the time to best understand what the case study or article would be about and how to best prepare. [/LIST] I hope these are helpful and good luck! [/QUOTE]
