[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 64984, member: 1572"] You can go about this two ways: 1. Research the people at the firm and reach out to the ones that you'd genuinely be interested in talking to (whether for the work they do or because you'd like to know more about their personal experience) 2. Reach out for a follow up coffee or chat to people who've given presentations or talks throughout the scheme I actually found it to be way less awkward setting these up online. Just send an email explaining that you're a VS student and are interested in learning more about X practice area and the work that this person does. Some people will be too busy to even respond to that email but most will respond positively. Then just ask for a suitable time in their schedule and send over a zoom link. Alternatively they could just prefer a quick call on the phone, but either way they will let you know in advance so it's really nothing to be too worried about. It's not a necessity to set up these informal chats at all and so in terms of how many to do, it's completely up to you! Just be wary of managing your time i.e. ensure that you aren't organising too many and that it won't eat into your time for actually working on any tasks you've been given [/QUOTE]
