    So sorry @Jessica Booker I have one more question regarding this application. I accidentally put one of my work experience entries in the wrong order. Will this be a strike or an instant application rejection. Regards, Rijul

    Dear @Jessica Booker, I have just submitted my application to Osborne Clarke, but I only looked at the references section today. The firm required two references, in terms of the places where we have worked. I have contacted my second reference, but he has not gotten back to me yet. So I just...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I am soo sure Freshfields is gonna be a PFO. I mean I did apply to the vac scheme with a 2:2 and a low 2:1 as well as BBC at A level.

    How Important Are A-Levels?

    Thank you so much @Jessica Booker I mean in terms of extra curricular .. they are good because I do a lot, and have positions of responsibility eg. Treasurer or events lead, but it’s annoying because I’m not the president or Vice President in any society. In terms of work experience, I am 20...

    How Important Are A-Levels?

    Heya, I got BBC in my A Levels, a 2:2 in first year and a low 2:1 in second year. I had strong GCSEs but even if you consider my mitigating circumstances, my grades are still poor. I’m finding it just in general difficult to get consistent 2:1s..I’ll most likely scrape a 2:1 overall. I really...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Dear @Jessica Booker When making an application to a law firm, how do you talk about a deal without “name dropping” it. I’ve talked about my interest in the finance sector and how it stemmed from work experience and what I liked about it. And I talked about how joining that law firm would...

    Ask Willkie Farr & Gallagher Anything!

    Hello Gemma, Thank you for taking time today. Wilkie Farr and Gallagher asks for consistently strong academics. If I graduate with a 2.1 but don’t have good academics generally, would you recommend applying, despite not meeting the fair and reasonable benchmark set by the firm. Would you also...
