Just want to say a HUGE thank you to all of you who are sending in your interview experiences! I am seeing @Jaysen posting a lot of good stuff and I think even just knowing how different AC's operate and what you can expect really helps to relax people (or it always did for me at least)!

Thank you for such a great team effort and taking the time to write them! :)

    Am amazed at how hard some of these interview questions are - some of them seem way more suited to candidates post LPC!

    Hey guys! I've been pretty MIA as corona-anxiety has impacted me greatly over the past few weeks, BUT..... I am so pleased to say that I was offered a place on the Irwin Mitchell VS/ Legal Placement Scheme this morning. :)

    Congratulations! Its great to hear some fantastic news like this that reassures us there are still "business as usual" aspects continuing

    Quick question - if a spring vac scheme is cancelled and re-scheduled for a summer vac scheme, does this mean that there will be less slots left for the summer vac scheme? I have an AC coming up and was wondering if this would in anyway be affected!

    I wouldn’t have thought so unless they suddenly decide to reduce the number of trainees. Either way don’t worry about it, just focus on nailing the AC (assuming it goes ahead).

    Not necessarily - they may just increase the size of the summer scheme, either by taking more people on or by creating a different set of dates.

    number of internships is usually considered against the number of training contracts, alongside capacity/desk space within the business
