    Are you able to access a template from the firm? I'd ask your supervisor or trainee buddy for their advice on how to structure it. They'll be more than happy to help in my experience :)

    Hi Jess, Yeah I would be inclined to agree with @Adam Gilchrist tbh. I think if we initially permit the explanation of the structure of various ACs and what the types of different assessments usually involve then that would be a good starting point.

    That's gonna be expensive! I really feel for the advisors on this deal - so much for the usual quiet August! 45 days to get a deal of this magnitude and complexity over the line is going to be incredibly tough for the accountants, bankers and lawyers involved

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Personally, I don't see any problem with it. Be prepared for the email to be ignored but if you can be as specific as possible regarding why you are contacting them and what you are hoping to get out of your interaction e.g. a phone call or an insight day or even a week's work-shadowing then...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    I wouldn't email. If they want it, they'll ask you for the evidence at a later date so I wouldn't worry at all :)

    Self-Esteem

    Hey Jennifer, Thank you so much for sharing this - it's very brave of you! Firstly, you should know that what you're feeling is completely normal! Everyone goes through these feelings of not feeling quite good enough and it is totally natural to feel a bit down. Law is an incredibly cutthroat...
