    His level of hypocrisy continues to amaze me... isn't there something called the First Amendment over there??

    No worries at all! I've been there re the wisdom teeth and it's really not fun so I hope that clears up quickly for you!

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Thank you, as ever, for clarifying :)

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I'd be absolutely amazed if you got asked that question. Sure, you make a list of firms based on a number of factors e.g. what practice areas that interest you but then to add the key differentiator (since lots of firms are good at M&A for instance) you can then talk about the conversations...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    The way you avoid being generic is by mentioning the specific individuals you spoke to and the conversations you had with said partners and associates - that by definition is unique and not generic

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Yeah I haven't got AAB (have some mitigating factors which I explain) but otherwise I don't mention it/draw attention to it in my application. I'd definitely not mention it as one of the reasons you're applying - they want to hear about why you are interested in the firm, the work it does...

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    If that's the case and you feel you have already included everything you need to then I'd imagine you can leave it blank? @Alice G @Jessica Booker

    Further to the above discussion regarding furthering US-China tensions, the US has just announced that it will no longer consider Hong Kong autonomous from China in a big change in policy. Somehow I don't see this ending well... What impact do you think this could have? @Alice G @Jaysen @Raam...

    Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!

    Agree with @Alice G here - I tend to use this part of the form to just include anything that I haven't been able to already to further sell myself as a candidate

    I don't know enough about India's various circumstances to be able to comment further I'm afraid but I guess its the case like with anything that any sort of meaningful change will take time

    I think that certainly could play a part in it absolutely, at least on an unconscious level. We are all aware of Trump's attitudes towards the Chinese and his largely mistaken beliefs regarding that country. That said, I'd like to think that those investors in US private equity or Silicon...

    Firstly thank you for your kind words! I know myself and @Alice G really appreciate them :) In terms of your question, firstly I think you should know that what you feel is completely normal and that everyone goes through periods of self-doubt so you really are not alone in this! Alice pretty...

    Great post @Raam! Totally agree with you re your opinion on dealmaking in India in the near future - it really is an untapped market that has a tremendous amount of potential for tech investors and I'd definitely expect to see increased investment there, at least until the US-China tensions ease...

    Cover letter and Application form

    Agree with this. If you have to upload the document then this is the structure you should follow. However, in my experience, if you are just writing the text into a box/form then you don't need the address parts of it

    Hi Zoe, I believe @Jessica Booker is just finishing off something for this so that should clear up things for you :)
