@Jessica Booker, I hope you are well.

I am currently applying for a vacation scheme at Forsters, in addition to the academic referee, they are also asking for an employment referee which I do not have. I am a contractor for the government and they are not allowed to give a reference. How do you think I should approach this situation?
Thank you in advance.

Do you have a previous employer you could use instead?

Yeah. I saw someone had heard back on here but I think it’s not very many so far?

Just wondering if I was wrong about that.

Last email I got from Mishchon was few days ago saying they'll let us know by the end of the week.
Also has anyone heard from Bird and Bird after video interview?

HSF PFO after passing the test - I tried my best in the application questions so be it - considering last year I didn't even pass the test that was already an improvement LOL

What are some commercial awareness/understanding of law firm questions that are likely to come up in a VI?

Might ask about companies of interest.

Law firm questions about USPs too.
