    I had that before and it didn’t make a difference. The SJT is more important I think. It seems that wg might be more of a Pass/Fail and not an indication of app success

    Is that something a US firm is more likely to do like Sidley that place a lot of emphasis on grades or does it more depend on how much they like the candidate to give them a second chance? Also wouldn’t it have to be part of the TC employment contract terms so the candidate would at least know...

    All of it needs to be done by the deadline not just the app.

    Does that mean if someone doesn’t pass the SQE exams, they loose their TC? Are SQE resits not allowed as a TC condition?

    Does the ‘paralegal friend-zone’ effect also apply to other roles such as compliance, legal tech, consulting?

    This is interesting. I didn’t know GR had that much power to decide who they like or not. In the end partners and associates will have to work with the trainee and like them so why would GR’s subjective option matter so much? the only reason that would come to mind is that GR know the kind of...

    I don’t wanna derail it even further but surely attending an open day is valuable on an application. Of course it’s up to the applicant to make a good impression on the day by starting conversations and asking good questions/create engaging discussions to help with the “why this firm” section...

    Yeah I know, I always wonder how proportional this forum is. I also think a lot of people are just watchers and don’t post PFO/AC updates. this thread alone has 10k views but that’s obvious not from individual accounts I would imagined

    My theory is that they see how many people fail at the AC stage and then invite new candidates to the AC from a ranked list. Might be wrong tho

    hi peeps so for the 'why me' section of a cover letter - what exactly do they want to know? Do I write about my work experience - ie for job X found creative ways to teach the alphabet and then apply how that would make me a good solicitor? or is it awards and prizes I won? i find this part...

    no typo. It says that they get more people applying than they can handle (aka accommodate). It’s grammatically and logically correct and not an insult :)
