Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each vacation scheme student was allocated to a practice area - I sat in Projects and Construction. We were paired up with an associate who became our supervisor, they would give us our primary tasks and assess us for the training contract (alongside the two interviewers at the end of the two weeks). When we had completed our tasks, we could ask the others in the office if we could help with anything, and in the process we would get to network.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We were given an exclusive insight into the firm and that could not be gained anywhere else. In the process, we learned how an international law firm operates on the inside.

I would try and gain specific insight into the firm and its culture via organising meetings with people currently there by using LinkedIn, attending open days and any other events the firm's early careers team runs.
