    Weil, Gotshal & Manges Vacation Scheme Application Questions

    Networking events

    I think the kind of questions that will impress are questions that you've researched and are specific to the firm. Graduate recruitment will have probably heard 99% of questions before so that's more likely to make you stand out.
