Hiya, if anybody has a VI/AC for W&C lined up - feel free to drop me a PM
Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Nothing to worry about here.Hi all, I have an interview for a VS but after reading over my application, I have realised my phone number is incorrect by one digit.
It is really stressing me out. I can't stop thinking that as soon as I mention it, that's my chance of securing the VS out the window... why would they give someone a VS if their attention to detail is so poor they can't enter their own phone number correctly???
What would any of you advise me do? The only contact details I have with the firm is the HR partner who is conducting my interview
Thank you.Nothing to worry about here.
Just notify them at the interview that your contact details need to be updated/corrected.
You could email after your interview if you really wanted. Unless they have got to call you for the interviewThank you.
Would you recommend waiting until the end of the interview, or an email beforehand?
It isn’t really the article as such, it’s the story behind it they care about.Hi all,
I’m preparing for a question about a recent news article that I’ve read or have been interested in . When discussing the article, how much depth is required for the article description (do I need to state the date, site the article title etc and author). Also I’m thinking of talking about cyber security breaches in light of covid, is this a good idea? Does anyone have any suggestions for making strong points or research ideas?
Congratulations!So yesterday I was offered a TC with my dream firm after 3 years of applications and around 40 different rejections, and I just thought I would post on here as living proof that a PFO don’t mean that you’re not good enough! Keep going people! 🎉
That is excellent! So glad you persevered.So yesterday I was offered a TC with my dream firm after 3 years of applications and around 40 different rejections, and I just thought I would post on here as living proof that a PFO don’t mean that you’re not good enough! Keep going people! 🎉
Also big thanks to all those on here for all the advice/motivation. Has been so helpful to me to know that everyone in this process feels the same.
Oh really positive to hear that it was almost like an informal chat. I have mine in a couple of weeks. How did you find it being online?Pretty relaxed, just like they were having a conversation getting to know you. I don't think I got it because I'm trying to manage expectations and gave 1 or 2 answers that in hindsight weren't too great, but good experience regardless.
I barely know you but I am so happy for you. Live your best life and CELEBRATE! 🥂So yesterday I was offered a TC with my dream firm after 3 years of applications and around 40 different rejections, and I just thought I would post on here as living proof that a PFO doesn’t mean that you’re not good enough!

Thanks, that's good to hear. At the time I felt I did well and had a good rapport with them, now I've had time to think about some of my answers I'm less confident haha. Just make sure you know everything about yourself and your CV. They'll be a few curveballs and some questions where you think "wow that's out of left field" but just remain calm, as I guess they're trying to see how you cope under pressure.Oh really positive to hear that it was almost like an informal chat.

I wish you the best of luck! If it is any consolation, the job interviews / vac scheme interviews I walked out feeling like I performed poorly in, ended up being the ones I got, and the ones I felt I had done well in, I never did. It is strange how it all works.
As Jess has already mentioned, focus here on analysis rather than descriptive stuff - small things of no consequence like date and author are immaterial. I discuss different response structures to a question like this in some amount of detail in my recent article: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....w-firm-interviews-monday-article-series.3286/Hi all,
