I live in Battersea, near Clapham Junction and pay £600 a month in rent. Sometimes you've got to look at different sites and flat shares- FM302989

My friend, we've ALL been there! That's the backbone of this forum after all! Sometimes it takes time to get better at the application process, other times its a numbers game and luck. Pick up your crown, take care of yourself and keep going!- FM302989

Well it was April/May last year when I got mine so I couldn't go out. I called the Senior Private Client Solicitor at my firm who's like a mentor to me. His response was 'What's a Vacation Scheme?'. How times have changed!- FM302989

I think it's a test of motivation, but forum please correct me if I'm wrong. I think they're looking to see that you've applied to similar firms in terms of size, culture, work, practice areas etc. I don't think firms are jealous if you apply elsewhere as they understand that candidates have...- FM302989

I'm convinced some law TC boasters and certain um 'legal influencers', lets say, have made it to the 'State of the LinkedIn', but I am not gonna deep dive through the tweets to find them- FM302989

I despise Linkedin as a platform for all these reasons and more. Full of lies, boasts and brown-nosing. When I've had some success, a VS/job offer, I tell my friends and family, and not social media CityLawBois is a quality page, as is allen.and.overit and the below are decent for general...- FM302989

Also, what is an analytical written exercise and what is being tested? I've had several assessment centres etc and have never had this come up before? Please don't answer if you've done Willkie's written exercise or are going to tell me what comes up. Not interested in cheating- FM302989

Willkie written exercise invite! So far I have to say this has been a pretty smooth application process (I am touching a lot of wood here)! Gemma's been on the ball, marketed the scheme extremely well and there's a slot for me to do this written exercise after work. Now I just need a desk... :(- FM302989

Even a simple desk is essential. Now I've just gotta wait a week for a desk to arrive I ordered elsewhere. Had to cancel an IKEA delivery after they said must would arrive 6-7 weeks' time (y'all don't order from IKEA, their customer service is two pack of a$$).- FM302989
