It is lottery-based, but a big part of law is dealing with a wide range of personalities, and since it is a highly client-facing profession it is important to be able to make yourself appealing to different kinds of people. Fundamentally it doesn’t need to be measured objectively, you just have...- Bread

I find it so annoying when people drag class into everything. Firstly, it's really easy to find professional-looking attire that is not too expensive -- uniqlo, zara and H&M should have simple-cut suits in normal colours for less than £60. Besides, for a vac scheme, you'll find most interns wear...- Bread

I understand your frustration. I find that the outcome of so many of those interviews (i.e. the not purely commercial/technical ones) is based on how the candidate gets on with the interviewer, which is obviously hard to pinpoint objectively..- Bread

You’re more likely to be asked what other firms you applied to and why in an interview, if there’s a reason why you chose English firms maybe bring that up :)- Bread

I think as long as you are able to make the answer interesting you’ll be fine. Could always start with something along the lines of “taking the deal/news story I discussed earlier, I think that…” or smth like that- Bread

I’d say to just try your best, it sounds like a very conversational interview so less prep might be fine. Also, not to be a negative Nancy, but you *may* not get it so the issue of clashing with another VS is really a problem for later. Personally, I’d rather have the option to choose between...- Bread
