We heard recently from a fourth year law student who was successful in securing a training contract after attending a practice interview with one of our advisers. He said:

"A couple of weeks ago, I had a 30-minute interview practice session with my law careers advisor, Kate Robertson. Kate gave me excellent pointers and feedback, and the mock questions were great preparation for the assessment day. As a result, I was offered and accepted a legal traineeship. I couldn’t recommend Kate enough."
