Training Contract Success Stories
I love this thread! Congrats D Cole for getting a TC!!!! Replying to Daniel - this is so true, even for Vac Schemes. The lawyers don’t don’t really remember what you said sometimes. Perhaps they’re too busy! So yeah after that I stopped being anxious. Guess you gotta impress them, be polite and...- wwood

Failed Schemes? Motivation?
Hi guys! I notice that the vac scheme thread pretty much centers on practical tips e.g. how to do well, what not to do, what to do etc., but there is no post on specific experience! The vac scheme diaries are great, but they focus more on the legal experience. I am wondering whether there are...- wwood

Thanks Jaysen! Yes, I agree with you. They made a candidate file for me (asked me for a picture and filed my info etc) I guess I'll pass then... wish I had discovered this forum when I had that interview!- wwood

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
This happened to me! The associate simply said, "Ah, so this is your second application to our firm" and that's it! I got this opportunity in the end. But I'm also curious as to whether a bad (or embarrassing) phone interview / face-to-face interview should deter you from sending in another app...- wwood

Not sure if this helps. My sister is an associate recruiting interns for her law firm. She's not working in those firms you guys are applying for, but what she said may apply to all recruiting processes: often people form an impression of you in the first 5 minutes when you give your...- wwood

Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019
For instance, I saw my interviewers were females, so I explained that their gender equality initiative is attractive to me because as a female, the firm is a great place for me to have a long-term career. I think the associate agreed with me :P The other was more stupid - the interviewer asked...- wwood

How do you do show a "clear alignment to" a firm? Is it just merely linking their core values to your capabilities?- wwood
