    Winter Vacation Scheme 2018 Thread

    Hey a friend of mine submitted her app a week ago and was invited to take the VI on Wednesday (she has five days to complete it). I would not think too much into when you hear back from firms, just focus on your next set of applications ;)

    Norton Rose commercial awareness question

    Hi, I would structure it as follows: 1. What is the change 2. The impact of the change (positive and negative) 3. What is NRF doing to keep up with the change 4. Any uncertainty the change brings to the global practice of NRF. I hope that helps. How does everyone else structure it?
