About You
I enjoyed my time at Taylor Wessing, I had the best experience as they gave very useful information about the firm and answered any queries that I had in a very friendly manner.
Taylor Wessing made me feel very welcoming, they made me feel at ease because I didn't know anyone they came over to me and asked about me which gave me a very friendly vibe about the firm.
I received a lot of guidance during the insight, it helped me to establish further about the firm and the career path that I wanted to take and this made me feel at ease.
The skills and information that I received helped me so much to understand the career path I wanted to take, because before the open day I was still unsure about taking the legal route. However after the open day I was adamant to take the legal path and follow me dreams to become a solicitor and gain a training contract with Taylor Wessing.
The Company
The insight was very structured, we had a timetable that was handed out which allowed us to know exactly what was going to happen during the day. Also they were very structured with giving and answering useful information.
The atmosphere during the day was brilliant. I just loved the activities we were able to do, also making and meeting new people was very exciting.
I found being chosen for the open day it seemed the firm invested time to me. Also being able to ask questions and take time out after the session to answer them that made me feel they appreciated my query.
The open day consisted of showing us around the firm and answering and giving us information about the firm. This gave me a full understanding about the life and working role at Taylor Wessing which was brilliant.
The open day gave me an insight that Taylor Wessing is very friendly and have a very welcoming culture feels more like a family.
After the open day it was very useful to me because before I got to the open day I was still unsure in what legal route to take. However after the incredible information and the fun day I had I was excited to chase my dream and become a solicitor and to gain a training contract with Taylor Wessing.
Everything Else
I was not paid/reimbursed.
The final part of the open day consisted of networking which allowed me to have the opportunity to network and get to know the solicitors and workers who worked there.
The networking/social event was very friendly and relaxed we were able to enjoy drinks and food and to get to meet solicitors and hear exciting stories about the firm and the clients that they work closely with.
Yes I was told about activities that employees were involved in outside work. Was very exciting to hear that employees were part of several groups and were able to work as a team out side of work.
I would recommend the insight to a friend, I had a great time and learnt so much about the firm and the career path I wanted to take.
