Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 220456" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=42462]@jaisrihere[/USER] and first of all huge congrats for getting all these open days invites - it is a great achievement! As for my best tips in terms of how to make the most of it:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Throughly research the firms before the open day and try to be inquisitive while doing so, making note of any areas you think you may ask questions about to further improve your understanding. Asking good questions (so, questions for which you would not be able to find an answer online) is a great way to show interest and to stand out from the crowd.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Figure out what "Why the firm" reasons you will likely want to include in a VS application, and try to ask questions relating to it - this will make it easier to include mentions of your interactions in your subsequent application. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ask questions about the application process - try to find out what qualities the firm is most looking for, what mistakes to make sure to avoid, etc. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Try to connect with the firm's graduate recruiters: instead of only speaking to the firm's trainees and its lawyers, you should also try to get to know the firm's graduate recruiters - as they are the people who will ultimately make progressions decisions up to the Assessment Centre/final interview. Making a good impression (which does not only mean appearing competent and smart, but also showing that you are an interesting, personable, and kind person) when speaking to the firm's recruiters could significantly increase your chances of progressing past the application stage. </li> </ul></blockquote>
