    If an application asks for any prizes or awards is this the right place to put things like music qualifications? If they aren’t mentioned elsewhere on the application

    Have had multiple people check them and I re-checked and there is nothing wrong with them. Maybe I just applied too late who knows

    Thanks for the multiple responses about congrapps! Won't be using them ;) the main reason I asked was that I have heard for slaughters that they like a really short cover letter. When speaking at an event they said to use it for mitigating circumstances or to explain a bad result. What are...

    Has anyone ever used congrapps before? Don't know if it's worth paying for but the desperation is starting to hit!

    Rejected from sidley. Same thing has happened as with NRF. Submitted late one evening then two days later a rejection! They use the same platform for applications and now I am just so confused. I could appreciate this happening once and it being chance. I have higher grades than last year and...

    Does anyone know the application process for Sidley? After the application form are there any tests or video interviews?

    I spoke to a partner at S&M who said he had a 2.2 in jurisprudence and he said the best thing to do is just to use part of your application to explain the grade. Don’t know how much this will apply for other firms but for them that’s what they’ve said, hope that is some sort of help!

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    Hi! I am struggling a bit to incorporate some of my experience within my applications. I did an internship at a commercial bank this summer and am unsure of how to mention it and how it could link to law. I am very conscious of coming across as if I would actually prefer a career in banking...

    I too got an AC invite last year and got the same. Didn’t get working with others this year and got critical thinking instead so who knows!

    Last year I got invited to the links AC on the 1st of November and they had a similar deadline for the winter VS and then the AC was something like 2 weeks after that. I’d give it a couple of weeks before checking the portal everyday but I totally feel you the wait is horrible :D

    I had the same thing happen! (Applied after 8pm on a Monday then rejected at 10am on Wednesday) I’ve assumed it’s because I applied to their summer last year but who knows! Bit frustrating given I wrote a completely knew application and have two new formal pieces of work experience this time!

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Does anyone know if there are any other firms that recruit like Links? I know Deloitte and PWC so if there are any others people are aware of that’d be great. I just cannot seem to write a good cover letter and end up doing better in the tests :(

    Has anyone got any tips for the NRF cover letter? Is there anything in particular they like to see that anyone knows of?
