Weil VI
Could I ask for some advice on Weil VI? What kind of questions do they usually ask? I have terrible stage fright whenever doing HVs or VIs and usually only do well when the firms allow re-record (my first takes are usually not very good). I have PTSD from getting rejected from this stage by...- PlimptonWeld

The value of Insight/Open Days?
There are some law firm Insight/Open Days I have been eyeing and it seems I won't be able to attend some of them when they take place as I won't be in the UK (I'm based internationally) over Easter.
