Taylor Wessing Trail Blazing Open Day Review

Very much so! The Open Day was full of talks and activities which provided invaluable insight into the firm's culture. There was also ample opportunity to discuss what typical day to day life was like at the firm with trainees and the graduate recruitment team.

Sarah did an amazing job organising the event, reflecting that the firm really valued our time there. The graduate recruitment team and trainees took the time to ask about my interests and what the firm could offer in terms of career development. In particular I enjoyed the talk given by one of the partners, it showed that the firm really took an interest in potential future employees.

There was a trainee assigned to us during the business game to offer support. She was very helpful and provided additional insight to the firm's approach to its work and its clients. A lot of guidance was provided in the talks where we were given additional information on how to tailor the application to really show our compatibility with Taylor Wessing.

The Open Day was invaluable in terms of skills development. The business game really tested my commercial acumen and interacting with fellow students provided helpful insight into the ways I could strengthen this area. At the end of the game we had to give a presentation which furthered my communication skills and ability to work in a team.

We were given an itinerary at the start of the day and everything was well structured and thoroughly planned.

All employees were friendly and welcoming. The day provided a real insight on what it is like to work at Taylor Wessing and the application process.

The business game was an opportunity to develop upon key skills. At this stage it was more focused on the personal development benefits of the vacation scheme and ways to maximise our applications.

We had plenty of opportunities to network with trainees who provided insight into the day to day life at Taylor Wessing.

The talk given by one of the partners was invaluable regarding the firm's development and culture.

The overall take home advice was to not decide on my future career path so early on, as it would only hinder me from experiencing other sectors. The day was more tailored to the vacation scheme application process, as this is the real opportunity to decide upon which career path is most suitable.

I was reimbursed travel expenses.

Plenty! This was something I particularly enjoyed as the trainees were able to give us feedback on how we performed in the business game.

We were able to network with trainees at lunch and at the end of the day social drinks were provided. This allowed further opportunity to network with trainees and the graduate recruitment team.

The trainees provided a lot of additional information I hadn't realised prior to the day including sports teams and social events!

Definitely!
