[QUOTE="trainee2025, post: 175902, member: 8482"] I don’t think this is a fair outlook. You’ve done extremely well to get the VS - City firms have robust recruitment procedures with many stages that really prevent ‘luck’ from having any serious role. The preparation that you did for the AC will be useful for other interviews and the VS itself, but even then, a lot of the research that you might have done and your current perceptions of the firm will likely soon be usurped by your experiences on the VS. In terms of tasks on the VS, I wouldn’t worry about this now. VS tasks might seem daunting but ultimately firms understand that you are (probably?) a student or recent graduate as opposed to a fee earning solicitor and adjust their expectations accordingly. For the time being I would focus on enjoying the success of getting a VS and, if applicable, focus on any other ongoing recruitment processes. Closer to the scheme, you can maybe think about preparing for the scheme a bit and there are some great resources on this site to help with that. [/QUOTE]
