    It probably sounds obvious but how do I actually answer ‘why me’ or any other question which essentially asks this in an AC interview? Should I make 3 points with a STAR analysis for 3 qualities they look for? I don’t want to waffle but also want to say enough😂

    Oh wow coffee chats, knocking on doors to ask for work, without this forum I would have no idea these were normal things during a vac scheme! Are there any other things/tips to be aware of having never done a VS before😅 (even if they are obvious). Any info would be greatlyyy appreciated!

    That’s really helpful thankyou, can I just ask when calling, would you mention a specific vacancy you were interested in? I’ve thought of calling but feel like I’m not sure what I’m saying😅

    Wow congratulations that’s impressive! Do you have any application/interview tips? I find paralegal roles are also quite competitive 😫

    What do group exercises at AC’s tend to entail? Is it negotiation exercises as that’s all I’ve heard so far and how would they work? Secondly how is best to prepare? Any help is appreciated :)

    Hi all sorry I know this isn’t related to vac schemes but I had a paralegal interview on the 30th (Thursday) and they said they would get back to me the following week (which was last week). They haven’t so should I send a follow up email today or wait a little longer?
