    Dentons

    Hey Vicky, I can't actually remember what firm told me this (it was back in November) but in questions like this, the 'why' is the most important. So, even if you pick an academic/uni example, the onus is on you to explain why it is important to you. When doing so, I was told it is best to...

    Cover letter conundrum

    Hey! Hope this helps across the board but for Slaughter and May in particular, a contact I have there said this about the cover letter. 'For the cover letter, it’s a case of cherry-picking one or two key points in your CV and expanding on them, rather than trying to do everything. My advice...

    Weil video interview

    Thanks Daniel. With the business story, do you relate it back to law? Apparently there's only one-minute to answer, so not sure if I should just focus on why it interests me.

    Weil video interview

    Thanks mate. Another quick thing, should you provide different answers from those on your application? I don’t mean worlds apart, but I don’t want to come across as basically re reading my answer to them?

    Weil video interview

    Recently been invited to complete Weil's VI. Just a quick question in regard to dress code- is a suit mandatory? Or does a shirt/tie suffice? Or, could I wear a 1/4 zip with a shirt & tie underneath? Thanks!
