Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
The questions were interesting, to say the least.Anyone else feel they bombed CMS’s VI? 😭
Could anyone please offer some guidance on how to approach the following question:
What specific aspects of Fieldfisher's business units/sectors align with your career goals and interests?
It's worded differently to the typical "why this firm", so am I supposed to talk about which of their sectors appeal to me (i.e. technology, life sciences etc) or specific elements of their sectors (i.e. the dispute resolution strength, international element).
Wondered if you had any ideas @Jessica Booker?
It doesn’t mean things like international elements, it is more about the subject area of the work, whether that be practice area or sector specialism.Could anyone please offer some guidance on how to approach the following question:

So in effect, just picking out which of their practice areas most appeal to me and the motivations for that? Thank you as always, @Jessica Booker!It doesn’t mean things like international elements, it is more about the subject area of the work, whether that be practice area or sector specialism.
It doesn’t have to be practice areas, your interests can be sector based. I would look at their website and they divide their work up by services (practice areas) and sectors. Choose what genuinely interests you most/you most curious about.So in effect, just picking out which of their practice areas most appeal to me and the motivations for that? Thank you as always, @Jessica Booker!

i doubt we’ll hear soon tbh as people just finished their VIs yesterday, some today! heard that although they review on a rolling basis they dont fill up the ac slots on a rolling basis, not sure how accurate that isAnyone heard back from CMS about AC for offices other than Bristol?
I think it depends on your experience!Realistically is it a big disadvantage to prioritise direct TC applications over VS applications?
Thanks - what experience would you say is sufficient to have a realistic scope for success in direct apps, of course its subjective per firm but appreciate your thoughts!I think it depends on your experience!
I believe some firms recruit more from VSs, while others will have a mix of VS and direct TC applicants chosen. Can’t view it as a “one size fits all” approach I don’t think.Thanks - what experience would you say is sufficient to have a realistic scope for success in direct apps, of course its subjective per firm but appreciate your thoughts!
