Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
1. Yes, the percentage is lower (there’s an old photo somewhere of rough percentages - I’ll see if I can find) but there’s a reason they leave the open while others opt for VS only. You have nothing to lose if you can put in an excellent application! 2. I would check out Aspiring Solicitors...- Lumree

I think it’s important to remember as well that a lot of firm’s direct TCs don’t close until June/July. There will still be networking events running up to then and therefore plenty of opportunity to put in a great application that may lead to a TC without necessarily doing a VS!- Lumree

Anything you’ve read in the news recently caught your interest? What does it/will it mean for businesses? The main aspect of the question is to think why it interests you and explore that! They’re more interested in that than they are the actual issue!- Lumree

You’ll come across as more sincere if you discuss one you’re genuinely interested in. If it happens to be a client - then great!- Lumree

Work experience
Hi Jessica, I’m a bit confused about what should go in the work experience section. Should you include volunteering roles if there is a separate question asking you state non academic activities and positions of responsibility? Thank you- Lumree

Help needed: application questions about a firm's clients...
Is this WBD? I’d consider, as Jaysen says, what client works in a field you’re interested in? It helps to go beyond the law firm here and really dig into your chosen company’s expertise/line of work/sector. If you’re struggling to find a client, firstly check out websites like Chambers student...- Lumree

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Jessica, If a question asks about you to ‘tell us your interests, extra curricular activities and responsibilities’ but doesn’t ask you to relate it back to the firm, is it ok to talk about how they allow you to bring value to the firm? I’m not sure if that would be diverting too much from...- Lumree
