Official Vacation Scheme Thread 2015!!!

PFO from Debevoise, ah.

Can anyone please help me with Travers Smith interview questions ? Don't know what to expect at all

PFO from Debevoise, ah.

I had two with them last year as I applied straight for a TC. From speaking to others who did their vac scheme, the first interview I did seems fairly similar to that of a vacation scheme interview (was with one partner).

Spoke about my background/interests/hobbies
Spoke about previous work experience
A lot of competencies
Why law as a career/why commercial law/why did you choose law as a subject to study
Why Travers Smith
Where else have you applied (important - I messed this up in final TC interview & they didn't like it)

Then a couple of questions were quite weird but enjoyable to think about. The first was about tax avoidance and whether it can ever be condoned, and would I ever sanction it if I was the CEO of a big company. Another was about super-injunctions and whether celebrities should ever be allowed to make use of them. The main debate was about public interest vs privacy.

Hope this helps.

Yeah about a fortnight ago now, questions were very general as I recalled, usual motivation to work for the firm kind of stuff.

Also asking fro myself and a friend, has anyone heard from Kennedys or Bond Dickinson?

have you heard back from hill dickinson yet?? still waiting and i did mine about two weeks ago as well...

Congrats!

What office did you apply for? Still not heard anything.

A long time reader, but first time poster here has anyone else heard back from Bird and Bird after the Watson glazer test?

Has anyone heard from Farrers or Boodle Hatfield?

Baker and Mckenzie vac scheme!! Over the moon, only had my AC yesterday so I heard back very quickly.
