    Anyone else done a Capp assessment and scored very contradictory strengths and weaknesses? 😅

    Clifford Chance Work Experience Section

    The trainee at the talk mentioned she passed by doing 200/200/200 position of responsibility/extra-curricular/achievement. Also be sure to follow STAR as they are specifically looking for that.

    Clifford Chance Work Experience Section

    I think general advice is to write in prose unless specified otherwise. FWIW, when I attended Clifford Chance's applications skill sessions talk, they mentioned that they are looking for applicants to talk about what impact they made, not just list duties.

    There's something incredibly unnatural about VIs. I'm a relatively confident speaker in person, but with VIs I basically melt. I'm beginning to think the trick to succeeding at them is to avoid overpreparing and try and forget you're recording yourself.

    This is only my second cycle but very relatable! Applications are definitely a bit of an art form, and like any art form the more you practice the better you get.

    For those of you who are in the same position as me and are holding back on applying to a SQE training course/PGDL/LPC until you can secure a training contract, what do you put in the GDL section of application forms? I've been leaving them blank as I haven't applied to any programs yet (and...

    Bird & Bird's 150 word limits are killing me. Feel like I have to be concise to the point of almost saying nothing.

    Just your standard multiple choice scenario questions ("you've been asked to be a part of a project..."), as well as preference questions ("I prefer to work alone/in groups").

    Are you referring to the behavioral assessment? If so, it's automatic as I got issued mine within minutes of applying. It's not really the type of thing you can prepare for besides reading about the core competencies the firm is looking for.

    I don't suppose anyone knows whether it's too late to apply for NRF's Winter Vacation scheme? Today is the deadline, but I'm not sure whether that means 23:59 today or when it became today. They offer a Spring vacation scheme as well, so I could apply to that instead, but I'm itching to get on...

    This confused me a bit as well, but in one of their seminars they were clear that graduates should apply for the 2023 TC and that the 2024 TC is only for current students.

    When I applied for their direct TC last cycle, I also run out of time as I went back to double check my previous answers. I emailed Grad Rec and they told me they received my results, so it does still submit them even if you don't get to the final submit page. Actually made a point to finish...

    Have barely heard a peep from any of the firms I applied to. Just going to assume no news is good news for my own peace of mind.

    Hi Dheepa, just to butt in here, would you include Virtual Internships in your answer? I'm not sure if they would qualify as an "event". There is a separate question for detailing "any further information that you would like us to consider when reviewing your application" that might be more...
