Any advice on how to not be a nervous wreck on your vac scheme? I think it’s my barrier to not doing well. Seriously thinking of taking a shot of vodka each morning at this point just to stop the jitters 
Had an AC with them, people were genuinely nice and friendly, it was among the most pleasant ACs I've done so far. I think it's more or less a reflection of their culture
Should I reply back and say haha thanks for the April Fools joke, I'll see you on Monday for my first day

At some point during app season I just accepted that I was nervous and took it as a sign of me caring about my career (which I guess is a good thing?😅)Any advice on how to not be a nervous wreck on your vac scheme?

Also try clueing in those around you as to how you're feeling. It can be hard to open up when you're feeling vulnerable but oftentimes that's when you need to most.
Would also suggest that you do things to decompress every day of your VS- whether it's watching a movie, going for a walk, doing a hobby that calms you- whatever helps.
Wishing you the best- you've got this! 💪
Hi! I’ve just been invited to VI. Would you mind saying how many and the types (competency/motivational/situational) of questions you got in your Mischon VI?Mishcon case study invite!
really thought I was done with this cycle, because my Mishcon VI went so poorly so I'd ruled it out. I guess Im back in the game 😂
I am aware that some offers have gone out already and that there are also others waiting to hear.
Did you ask in the interview when you are likely to hear the outcome ?
I would personally angle it more in the way that it is large enough for you to interact with high clients/do high profiled work, but not too large that your training contract is one of a big mass. If they are a regional firm I'd focus on that, or if they have a specific niche (ie a boutique firm in West London) I'd talk about that!
I’ve just been invited to Hill Dickinson’s written exercise. Does anyone know what this consists of? And anyone have any tips?
Congrats me too! I'm also wondering what it's about, but looking at a previous post it was about writing a letter/e-mail
