    Not silly! I've been told mine is 9/9.30 - 6. But will probably depend on the amount of work

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey, I would prepare the usual why law why the firm, and then competency, commercial questions and questions about the firm too. This is the usual headings structure I follow. Also be sure to prepare anything else you've seen from past interviews on here! In all honesty, I found the less you...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I personally reached out to trainees from the firm to see which departments they're in/have sat in, just to get a feel of the work they do. If you have any connections, perhaps from LinkedIn, who work in the areas you're interested in, most of them will be more than happy to give you a run down...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi, I think it's important to practice your answers within the given time frame you have (usually 1m30?), so you're used to that going into the VI. Prepare your answers as you would for a regular interview, only you're talking to the camera and not a person. This might sound basic but try to...

    White & Case Applications 2020/21

    Hey, if you do then make sure to adjust your application! Maybe ask someone (TCLA, a future trainee/past vac schemer) to read it over to see where you could improve - best of luck

    Hi, I'm not sure as some firms count the day it was sent on, but if you can do it Saturday morning or Friday evening/night would be even better

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I don't think they would look down on it; any legal experience would be greatly valued, considering how hard it is to obtain. I would just make sure the national firm is commercially focused, as that's what the MC/US firms focus on. I would also say be prepared (at interviews) to justify why you...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Yeah I think that works, just try to find a common thread between the firms, whether that be in strength of practice areas, international network, training quality. You don't have to mention allll the firms you applied to of course, just highlight some similarities between them and the firm...

    Is it weird to add your interviewer on LinkedIn? Saying you enjoyed the interview and are looking forward to the scheme? lol

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hey, I found using my phone as an alarm really helped. For instance I would give myself 10m to summarise this article as best I could, and as soon as the 10m was over I told myself to move on, finished or not, to make sure I had time to complete the whole task. Of course, leave sufficient time...
