I’m a non-law student, so I’m a bit nervous and want to make sure I know the  things people expect before day 1.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">How did you build commercial awareness in a way that actually came up on the scheme/interview? Any recommendations for newsletters/podcasts and a simple routine (how often, how you took notes, etc.) would be amazing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Any Burges-specific topics worth reading up on? E.g. key sectors, recent deals/cases, or anything about the firm’s strategy/culture that’s useful to know.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Training contract interview prep: If anyone has a list of questions that commonly come up in the final TC interview (especially post-vac scheme interviews), I’d be really grateful.</li> </ol>I’m particularly trying to improve my ability to talk about the news/current affairs in a clear, commercial way — so any practical tips/resources would be really appreciated.Thanks so much — I’d be grateful for anything you wish you’d known before day 1.</blockquote>
