Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alice G" data-source="post: 29920" data-attributes="member: 1160">Excellent post!! Could not agree more when you say the greatest aspect is your own mentality and love that you point out that if you do not feel 100% there then this is all part of the process and refining what is for you!Two further points to note:Don't be excessive with coffee invites - it can distract you from work and I remember a trainee advising a group of us on the scheme that it can come across in the wrong way sometimes. I had a couple of coffees on both my schemes - on my second one I went with a trainee mentor and again with one of the legal secretaries who I became really friendly with and still meet up with to this day! This also feeds into the point of making an effort with everyone and not just partners. The secretary who I have befriended has been one of my greatest sources of support and she is just honestly one of the most incredible and positive people I have ever met who gives amazing advice. Definitely do ask questions - do not feel afraid or like you are being silly because you have not understood. This was one of my biggest mistakes and I want to add here that if you are made to feel like an inconvenience for seeking clarification or that you feel genuinely like you cannot ask things, then like we said above, maybe the firm is not for you. I have come to realise that sometimes, people just forget you are a vac schemer or not as further along as the trainees they have become accustomed to briefing and they can honestly unintentionally leave out some context and details.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
