    Hey I attended their session at my law fair, and they prefer being 1-1.25 pages. Try structuring it well and being succinct.

    Actually, one of my apps has been transferred from the TC to VS, and I have been invited for the assessment. However, the winter vacation scheme dates do not suit me because they clash with my university exams. So I do not know how to go about this. Any recommendations would be very helpful

    In case one gets through two winter vacation schemes and the dates clash, is it possible to request one firm to shift for spring/summer scheme?

    Hey does anyone know if Cleary Gottlieb will be holding Winter Vacation Scheme online or in person? I had applied there for the direct TC, and they emailed me saying that they would like to invite me for an assessment for the winter vacation scheme. So I am confused.

    Hey, I had a general question. How many applications do people usually make in one cycle for vacation schemes? I know there can be any number. But I was targetting to put 7-10 applications. Given my university commitments, I feel I can only properly draft 7-10 applications. But I have no idea...

    Please tell us about a recent news article that interests you and how this relates to Ashurst? (300 words max) * How are the others addressing this question? I was thinking of writing about a recently introduced law and how Ashurst has dealt with it. Is that a good approach?

    Hey, so if a firm asks to describe the nature of work in 150 words, how should I go about it? Bullet point is better or is paragraph better? Can someone give me a hypothetical example? or any websites/pages where I can get to know more about how to write work experience?
