<\/strong>Femke: \"Great! There is an incredibly open and jovial atmosphere here, I like that so much! During my first introductory meeting I was immediately put at ease, no typical clich\u00e9 questions, no dry conversation, but a sincere and personal acquaintance with an open vision.
<\/em>When I received the news that I could start I was nervous, but above all very happy. A warm welcome by the whole team made sure that my first day went smoothly, I felt really included in the group from the very first moment.
You know what I found so strange at first? That everyone here greets each other so kindly in the morning, I really didn't expect that (laughs).<\/em>“<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Femke: \"Yes! Despite working extremely hard, there is a very amusing and relaxed atmosphere here. In the afternoon we have lunch together - at a proper distance, of course - which are super pleasant moments. After work hours we often discuss files in a corona-proof way, and yes... occasionally we can have a drink. I don't see other offices doing that. I think it is all much more formal and dry there.\"<\/em><\/p>\n
<\/strong>Femke: \"My daily schedule is super varied, I often don't know in advance what the day will bring. I really like that variety, because that way I really get to know all aspects of a law firm. They take into account that you are a student and that you do not yet know how everything works, so making a mistake is not a problem. After all, you are here to learn<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Femke: \"I consciously chose to apply to Bannister Academy because the atmosphere on the website and social media really appealed to me. I also felt that \"let's go\" - mentality during that very first interview, and then I just knew; this is where I would like to give my best for 16 weeks. Only 12 more weeks to go and I'm looking forward to it so much! Let's go.\"<\/em><\/p>\n
