    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica, If I got rejected from a VS application before the AC, am I still able to apply for the straight TC in the same year? Or do I have to wait until next year again? Thanks!

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I feel this! It's okay to take a little break and come back even stronger. There are still a lot of firms that have later deadlines in Feb/March so try looking out for those! You got this! :)

    Browne Jacobson Application Questions

    Hi, Can anyone suggest how to go about answering these questions? I've mostly worked on applications that have strengths based questions rather than legal/commercial awareness. 1. If Brown Jacobson was looking to acquire or merge with another firm, what factors would we need to take into...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Thank you! Yeah, they gave the test after the written application so I'm happy about that. I do agree, I wish firms such as Linklaters, if they care more about the psychometric test to either cut out the written application altogether or only let applicants hand in the written application after...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    Rejected from Pinsent Masons post psychometric test. They were my #1 firm for a while, and I'm kind of frustrated/upset with firms using psychometric tests to cut applicants out. I personally think it's unfair because it doesn't reflect true qualities of what a good solicitor is/could be. Any...

    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    I always tend to compare myself to others, especially my friends who are also in law and in the same boat. It's hard being supportive and happy for others, while I haven't even gotten invited to an AC yet for any firm I've applied to. However, you reminded me of changing my mindset and...

    Law Careers.Net TC Deadlines

    Hi, A few weeks ago I reviewed the lawcareers.net website to see when firms are closing their training contract deadline. I chose to look into EMW Law for a 2021 TC application, but when I recently went back to confirm the deadline the firm is no longer posted there anymore. EMW Law's website...
