    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica If a cover letter forms part of an online application form, i.e. there’s just a box to paste the letter into, would you expect to see formalities such as addresses? There’s a tight word limit so I don’t want to waste valuable words on addresses but equally don’t want to deviate from...

    Hi, I was wondering if this is the case if you made it to assessment centre or final interview? I.e. the initial application was strong but you need to improve other areas? Thank you!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. Believe it or not, we don’t have dissimilar backgrounds. I graduated in 2013 and have also worked in a couple of insurance litigation roles. Also waiting to hear from BCLP but will definitely reach out to firms with higher A level requirements than I’ve...

    Hi Camilla, Congrats! I have lower than average A levels and have mostly avoided applying for firms with AAB/ABB requirements. Can I ask how you’ve gotten around those requirements? Thank you and well done again! Fingers crossed for the rest of your apps!

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

    Two assessment centres in two days

    Thanks guys. Yes both quite similar format wise but varying in practice areas and competencies. I'm a little calmer and more prepared now I think. You're probably right about doing better on the second AC but I prefer the firm on the first, so fingers crossed!

    Hi guys, I have two assessment centres on Thursday and Friday of this week and I’m stressing out a bit! How long on average would you say it takes you to prep for an AC? Also does anyone have any advice for a Weightmans AC? There doesn’t seem to be much info online about what to expect...
