    Hi! I’m no expert but from recent experience, I feel like once you’ve passed the benchmark, most firms will not really consider it? For example, my grades are pretty average (I have some low 2.1s and one 2.2 for some modules, and an average of 2.1 overall) but I was able to get to the next round...

    Had my sullcrom interview yesterday - it was very informal and super friendly. It was basically having several normal conversations, so if anyone has it coming up, I wouldn’t stress too much- just be confident and go with the casual style. However, for both of my partner interviews (30minutes...

    Hi everyone! I have an interview with Sullcrom tomorrow and I’m dizzy with nerves because A) I’ve noticed that I made a technical mistake on my cover letter lol B) Sullcrom are really picky about grades and I’m racking my brains on how to explain a bad grade I got, without sounding like I’m...

    Hi @Jessica Booker! Previously, I think you have mentioned that we should generally avoid adhering to the STAR structure in cover letters. However, I am a little confused, and was wondering whether it is sufficient to structure the 'why you' section as just "I have had X experience, therefore I...

    Hi! So I think you have to login/register here: https://www.apply4law.com/Locker/ to fill in your details. When starting new forms for Apply4Law, you should be able to link your locker to automatically fill in your education details etc.😊

    Hi everyone! I was wondering, when it comes to application forms with shorter word counts in the work experience section (75-100), should I still bother flagging the skills that I developed (“doing x developed my interpersonal skills”) or should I just briefly describe my role and leave GR to...

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows whether the cover letter for Travers Smith requires all the standard formalities (e.g., addresses at the top), or if it is okay to just launch into 'Dear X' and a sign off? Thank you in advance!

    Hi Jessica! In regard to this, I was wondering if you have any advice on researching firms that don’t have much about them online? I feel like it’s quite difficult to demonstrate that you’ve really tried to engage with the firm/ to make your application stand out, when the majority of applicants...
