    Taking advantage of work experience section

    I personally don’t link it unless the question asks me to. I too feel it comes across as generic and forced. Others do link it though. If there was an obvious link that doesn’t feel generic or forced, I would link it. For example if there’s some pro bono opportunity you’d be interested in at...

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    I am an Associate at a Global Law Firm. Ask me Anything!

    Why do you want to be a solicitor at an *international law firm*?

    Irrespective of the word count, I find the rule of three is always quite good to follow for this question.

    PWC

    Check out Estates Gazette. I think there’s a free weekly newsletter. Other than that, I would suggest you continue to follow the news in whichever way you do and continue to think what that means for the real estate industry. I.e. interest rates will affect buying and development, debts with...
