Hi again Jessica,
I have two more questions for you! I was reading the thread from Abstruser, where they state that they had never met the firms they were offered a training contract at before an interview.
I would think that nearly everyone who applies for a TC or Vac Scheme at a firm they've never met reads the Chambers Student Guide, LawCareers.Net etc. and has a poke around the firm's website or see where it has been featured in the legal or business press. But it can still be hard to properly grasp what a firm is all about without meeting them and asking them questions yourself. What would you say the best way to learn about a firm is, if you're in that position?
Secondly, if you have the opportunity to meet recruiters at Open Days, what are the best things to ask, or to avoid asking?
Thanks again.
