Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Boden" data-source="post: 29629" data-attributes="member: 487">Hi Konstantinos,Thanks for your question!So the way that I'm preparing for this vacation scheme is to try and upskill myself in terms of financial knowledge and to just become more financially literate which will help my commercial awareness. I'd really recommend looking at some courses on Coursera or Harvard EDX which I think a lot of people will find very useful. Equally, I'd really recommend Allen & Overy's 'Anatomy of a Deal' and Ray Dalio's 'How the Economic Machine Works' as they explain fairly complicated concepts in a brilliantly simple way.As well as this, now that I've finished university, I'll be trying to keep on top with topical commercial issues. I prefer to listen to podcasts so I listen to the FT Daily Briefing, the Commercial Awareness podcast and other similar podcasts which I'd recommend.Equally, given the profound impact of COVID-19 across the board, I'd recommend choosing 2/3 particular industries that interest you the most and following them for the next few weeks. So, for me, I'm following the impact of COVID-19 on private equity, the automotive industry and the retail industry and looking at what it could potentially mean for these industries going forwards.Closer to my scheme, I'll do an overview of the firm (Gibson Dunn) and just update my notes since I did my interview. I'm more than happy to share this template for people if it'll be useful?Other than that, I'm trying not to think about it too much and am trying to exercise and enjoy the nice weather we're blessed with at the moment as I think that finding a balance is crucial to having scheme success.Hope that helps! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
