Hi guys, i recently attended an assessment day for a legal assistant job role. The day after they sent this email, is this just a generic email they sent to everyone?

Hello everyone!

So I’m fortunate enough to have received at vac scheme offer, however that week I have an exam also, don’t know the exact date as of yet, meaning I’m gonna miss one day for the vac scheme. Im really scared that if I do reach to the firm and tell them my circumstances they will rescind my offer (they did say I have the right to miss half a day), but the lady on the phone was really keen about knowing what my exam period is and if I can attend all days.

Any advice? Thanks

Heyy im in the same situation.. can i pm you?

Hey everyone, I have been given the options to choose practice areas for my vacation scheme. I wanted to know how I should weigh the following factors (apart from personal interest) in my choices:
- complexity of tasks in practice area
- business need in the practice area (if its one that they dont do much work in, maybe i should not choose it ?)

And any general advice you have for me when choosing! Thank you!
