    The impact of tariffs on business and law firms

    Hi @Jaysen ! Thanks for the post - it's really useful. I'm confused - how does the trade war affect international trade finance (say, e.g. structured trade finance)? I searched online but couldn't find a clear answer to that. Websites mostly mention private equity. Thanks so much!!

    Common mistakes on application forms.....

Also, my job title may sound confusing to the HR staff (as I was confused at first as well). Is it better to include a short description...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi Jessica - many thanks for your guidance - it is incredibly helpful. I am wondering if the application form asks "how is [firm I'm applying to] different from other firms you applied to?" - how would you approach this? Should you really mention other firms?
