    Similar to above issue about A&O. I did a six year combined honours undergrad so I studied in excess of 40 university modules - should I email the rest to grad rec or just put in 25?

    Rejection from Weil. Email said they've filled the positions and to apply for a vacation scheme in the next cycle.

    I don't know you or your situation so not sure whether this will be accurate or helpful. When I did an assessment centre earlier this year, there was a guy that I would probably describe as "intense" in my group exercise. He was very controlling and dominant and I don't think it came across...

    Funniest/Stupidest Thing You've Said in an Interview?

    I've already confessed this on the Hearing Back thread a while ago. I said "Bank of America Meryl Streep" instead of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Only one of the interviewers noticed my mistake and laughed at me, it was truly awful. I still got the position though! Not something I said but...

    Do you mind saying which firm? Someone might know more about them specifically.

    I've only found this with firms where they haven't opened applications yet - are you sure they're open?

    Ok, so should I just keep the content largely the same?

    I can't upload any other document. It's a word document text box so presumably could be formatted a bit.

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Why law? Why the firm? What questions would I ask if invited to attend? Which practice areas am I interested in? Mitigating circumstances and my contact info.

    Hi Jessica, I am completing an application form for an Open Day where the firm has a textbook to provide a "mini CV". There doesn't appear to be a word limit. How much would you expect to see written there? Would you anticipate the same content as a regular CV but less detail for each position...

    Like Jessica said, more people are awarded firsts in STEM subjects. Surrey in particular is a STEM uni. Its Tonmeister course (as one example) is considered to be the best in the world. Take a look at this and argue that Surrey doesn't deserve those firsts...

    I work as a teacher and I could not agree more. Every single year, students get grades that are often determined by pure luck. I can't speak for international exams but, in the UK, our exam boards are terrible and the mistakes they make are often the deciding factor in which students do well and...

    Thanks. Yeah, this was for Dentons. I'll just have a bit of a cry and then get on with revising for my exams next week.

    I was under the impression that TLT had only given out offers to those who were on the VS. Have you seen otherwise on LinkedIn? They should be getting back by September 7th. Supposedly Macs will get back by the end of September.

    They know I haven't heard back but nothing else. I'll wait to see if I hear anything back from grad rec first.

    Thanks Jessica. It just hurts to be honest, I really rather have just had the rejection email. Like you said, there's always next cycle.

    Thanks. It's pretty gutting because I was on a mentoring scheme with the firm and really liked them, I thought my application was very strong and that I knew the firm well. It's just sad that I didn't even get a response at all.

    Thanks for responding. The system hasn't had any update since I applied. It's confirmed my application, I have the application number and confirmation but nothing has updated since. Nothing in my email, nothing in junk, nothing on the portal system - and no response to my emails either. What...
