    I know it is quite odd, but maybe once you do the WG, they don't give out AC invites until after the deadline? I can't think of any other way 'non-rolling' would make sense.

    @bella98 Sorry to throw a spanner in the works here but CMS’s Instagram post (in caption) has said they’re not rolling. I also don’t know what to do whether I should prioritise them??

    In the work experience section, I have listed all my commercial law events, virtual experiences, and webinars attended in one entry. As my other legal work experiences are more pro bono, legal aid etc, I really want to use these events to explain what I did (Case studies, interactive workshops)...

    @BonanzaBih_ Hey, I've quoted the above post from @Ram Sabaratnam about how he couldn't secure an open day but ended up getting a vac scheme at Cooley - hope this gives you some motivation!

    Completely understand where you’re coming from. It’s gotten to the point for me where I am actively trying to prioritise firms who do not have any SJT tests. Despite doing all the research and taking into account the firm’s values, I always score low. Would also really appreciate anyone’s...

    Hi Amma, your advice for this question is very helpful. Do you think me using Canva to create attractive, tailored posts for social media followers in my role as marketing manager for an event would be a suitable example?
