Graduates and post-graduates are also welcome to apply". Am I right in interpreting the above to mean that final year law undergraduates are not eligible...

    Hi @AvniD thanks for this. To answer your Q, I don't think me worrying about coming across as nervous is what makes it worse. I've tried to reflect and pinpoint what causes me to stumble, and I think it might be due to the fact that I can't think quickly enough to adapt my answers to the...

    Don’t sweat the small stuff - vacation schemes

    This is an old thread, but was wondering if I could get someone's thoughts on this? @Jessica Booker would be helpful to hear from you about this too. I'm currently on an in-person vac scheme.
