    LLM (SQE1+SQE2) at ULaw or BPP

    Hey @elinlindelow, Thank you for the question as it will help many in your same shoes and me personally too. I am going to start the program in September at BPP so I personally do not have knowledge on how to prepare. However, I have many friends who have started the program last September and...

    I would personally attend the assessment day as it can be an opportunity for you to develop your interview skills, experience another firm, other lawyers and just see a different law firm overall. I would worry about this once you get an actual offer but ideally you could ask them to postpone...

    I think that you can but if you are not sure I would email graduate recruitment to be 100% certain.

    I think that a week is too early, they might be busy with other assessment centres and other candidates, I would email at the end of the 2nd week after the assessment centre, coming onto the 3rd week. Also look out for updates from other candidates and whether they have received offers on the...

    No, absolutely not. I never did an assessment centre in person last year and I was successful in all of them. I personally do not think there is a disadvantage in doing an assessment centre online.

    I think the answer can be more general to be honest, it does not necessarily have to relate to the practice areas of the firm. I think that you should find something interesting and catchy and that will spark a nice conversation. To do this, talking about something you are interested in will...

    I would try and stick to a deal the London office worked on. It should not be a problem but I think it is important that you show knowledge and understanding of what the office you are applying to is doing and working on, and why you specifically want to train there.

    New job

    I think that every work experience you do will be looked at very positively regardless of the sector you work in. I think that it is good that you are diversifying your skills and experiences is actually really good and will potentially be preferred. I know people from public sector jobs who...

    Hey @FT_82, I am so sorry for how you are feeling right now and it is a totally valid feeling to have. Sometimes it is really difficult to gauge how an interview went and our perceptions can often be extremely different from reality. As much as it is not nice to receive a rejection, I always...

    I would try to diversify what you say in a video interview to give a different perspective to your application as a whole. When it comes to a deal, if you can, it might be worth mentioning a different one just to show the level of research you have done on the firm.

    You could ask them to consider you for the direct training contract instead. I did it with Dentons last year and they were very fine with it so you might want to send an email to graduate recruitment.

    You can but it is very difficult to be successful in the same year if nothing in your experience will significantly change, for instance you have some vacation schemes on your CV or significant work experience. I personally would wait for the next application cycle, especially if it is a firm...
