    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    If you can do both then I would imagine that would be a good route! If you can link your deal back to something law related I should imagine that would suffice. I usually do a paragraph on the deal then why it interested me, then why it would be important to a law firm! Although this is my...

I did two work experiences this summer both were formally ones where I’d applied for a formal scheme etc. The problem im having is that because they were virtual I didn’t really get to do any actual work so it’s...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    When I did it last year for their insight scheme I thought I got a slightly lower score than what I’d seen said on TSR but I still got a place! There will be more to it than just a score I expected! Best of luck!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Am i correct in thinking that K&E require a cover letter and have application questions? Just want to check because the cover letter says to include why them but they also have a separate question asking that. Thanks!

    Nope I applied on the 4th of December and haven’t heard anything. Last year they rejected me in 8 days and I applied on the deadline so I’m hoping the silence is good!

    I am doing an application which asks about your most significant non-academic achievement. I am trying to decide between my grade 8 piano or the fact that I turned a temporary christmas job into a permanent one which I have now had for 4 years. For some context with my job I have interviewed...

    With the Withers application what approach have people taken given that all the questions are limited to 60 words? It is a different approach to any I have seen before so don't really know where to start

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    Yup it has the tick, don't think this means anything though as I had the same for the Winter VS and still got rejected. I don't know my WG percentile for the direct TC but for the Winter VS i got the 98th with 38/40. Best of luck!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    For the Latham app, would it be okay to talk about how I made a big sale when working as a sales assistant to help increase the stores average spend and working towards the store receiving a bonus in the december month. I am just cautious since I would be talking about my own earnings and I am...

    Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!

    When a firm asks about your hobbies/interests are they genuinely trying to see what you are interested in? Or should it still be geared to professional skills and vaguely law related topics?
