    Skadden Telephone Interview

    Thank you so much!! you're right I should just take it as a learning experience.

    Skadden Telephone Interview

    I just had mine and it went awfully :( tho it was my first formal interview ever. But for those with more experience, it should go very well because the questions were very easy and straightforward and Mathieu is beyond sweet.

    Hi Paul, Thank you very much for your clarification. I noticed on the Shearman & Sterling Legal Cheek profile that none of the current trainees have attended international universities. Does the fact that I am not pursuing an undergraduate degree in the UK put me at a disadvantage? I am a...
