    Has anyone had experience with a fieldfisher telephone interview? - Could I ask what sort of stuff they ask and what I should be preparing?
    Just a word of warning, my interview was slated as a telephone interview but it was, in fact, video conferencing.

    It was generic motivational and competencies style questions. They have a set list of questions and don't often ask many follow-ups either.

    Hey everyone!

    I have a vacation scheme starting on Monday and it is thankfully a hybrid scheme in which some days are virtual days. This works out great for my normal work schedule as I will have to commute back and forth from Edinburgh a few times during the scheme.

    They have released the schedule and the days end at 5:30, but out of everyone's experience here, will there likely be informal/'you should go' dinners/drinks after? For example, I can take a flight at 9pm on Wednesday, but was curious as to whether I should wait until Thursday morning (before work of course).

    Thanks!

    Any word from V&E anyone? Three weeks today since I interviewed
    None! I interviewed on the 15th. I'm going to wait until 1st April to ask, but the wait is killing me.

    Hello, guys. Probably a very stupid question but if the Ashurst Direct TC app's deadline is 31st March, it means 31st March 11:59 PM UK time, right?
    You'll have to check their website. Normally it does mean 11:59pm, but for Ashurst they always close apps at midday for some reason. Although that is for the VS though, so I don't know if that's different for TC
