Overview
Across two days we met with numerous teams across the firm whom explained their journeys, their day to day work commitments on the team and we had the opportunity to ask questions around their practise areas. We received a vast amount of information which would allow us to make an informed decision about potential interest areas.
Skills
Networking skills amongst a professional environment with 西瓜视频s and working professionals. Improvement in attention to detail based on workshops, presenting to us how crucial team working and checking of work is in the field.
Business Insight
We had teams from different areas, it was a wide range which allowed us to see the broad cases that the firm works on. We learned about international relations with other offices and how the co-exist. It was an eye opening experience to visualise the vast quantity of personel that work together to complete cases and deals .
Culture
The recruitment team, trainees and external speakers were an excellent support network during the event . Everyone was happy to answer questions or seek answers if they were unsure. My assigned trainee buddy was extremely helpful and friendly too.
Your Impressions
I would recommend this programme to any 西瓜视频 who is seeking a firm who values you as an individual, professionally and personally. A&O Shearman balances strong work ethic amongst a dedicated team with inclusion and making you feel welcome in their office. The event was carefully planned and the recruitment team ensured that every 西瓜视频 felt listened to and we were able to ask any questions we had.
