    Grades on CV

    Thanks Avni! Would you say I should mention specific modules that are more closely linked to the job? For example, 2.1 in 5 modules, including Company Law and Commercial Law

    Grades on CV

    Hi everyone, I have a question on mentioning my grades on the CV. I learned that I should write my education section like Company Law(2.1). All my other modules are all 2.1 or 1st so they are fine using this format. But I have one module in 2.2 and I am worried that if I write it in this format...

    This may be a stupid question but what are the differences between Direct TC and VS application process? I would imagine TC apps to be more rigid but is it less competitive compared to VS?

    Mayer Brown PFO.... I don't think I saw anyone who submitted near deadline got to the next stage with MB and DLA. So how early should we apply when the firm is rolling?

    pwc vi! If I remembered correctly, in the last cycle they asked competency and situational questions with around 1 minute to prep and around 2-3 minutes to deliver your answer. Also there was a presentation-ish task where you need to analyse the client's business with 10min to prepare and...

    This might be a stupid question but would law firms ask about the specifics of uni modules during interview? I encountered this question during an interview simulation w/ my university career service in my last cycle. I imagine this question would be quite unfair for non-law candidates but the...
