    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    Does anyone have any advice for an interview where the questions might be "why you" "why law" "why this firm" but you've already answered them on your cover letter? Is it wise to repeat what you've written ?? Feel as though that would be more genuine but they already have all that information!

    Does anyone know how to do a practice WG that is scored? Spent ages doing one on the persons website only to get a generic report back with no score!

    I'm in this position with NRF. Do you think it means rejection? Not sure why they can't just let us know.

    Travers Smith Application - Bullet points?

    Im pretty sure Grad Rec said that you don't need to remove your name at a career fair i attended. I also signed mine off with my name. I really wouldn't worry.

    Need some advice about applications. I have made a few winter vac scheme apps but if i were to get more than one offer they overlap so I could only accept one. Although unlikely, if this happens, do you think I could then defer one to another scheme e.g spring / summer?

    Ask Shearman & Sterling Anything!

    Hi @Paul - Shearman & Sterling I have a question. I note that you do not recruit on a rolling basis. Does this apply to Open Day applications too? I note there is a short window between the deadline and event date in October for example.
