    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi guys, I'm just wondering what a typical benchmark for the WG might be - I've done all the tests I can find and I typically score 80% of the marks but I'm not sure if this is a strong score. Obviously I know benchmarks are dependent on other applicants' scores so there's no way to be sure, but...

    Hey I've seen on here that Linklaters place a lot of weight on the CAPP test. I've got my test results and I'm not sure what to make of it tbh, like I don't know how to interpret my results, could someone dm me to help or provide general information?

    Having done the application, I would say it definitely took me a while. I’m sure it could be possible if you really tried to get it done, but realistically I think rushing applications is never a good idea. If the firm is one you’re certain you want to apply to, it might be worth a shot. But I’d...

    Three is really good, try not to put too much pressure on yourself, remember you only need ONE successful application. So three really good applications put you in an amazing place to get that offer! I've been struggling with applications too, but I have found some really helpful tools. (note...

    I applied to Simmons for their summer internship on the 1/11/2020 and completed the SJT on the 2/11/2020. I've seen people who applied after me, have received both VI offers and rejections. Should I be concerned by the firm's silence on my application?

    @Jessica Booker If I'm referring to a firm receiving a tier 1 ranking from The Legal 500 in a cover letter is it: Tier 1 tier 1 Tier One tier one I noted in one of TCLA's sessions it was mentioned numbers under ten should be typed but obviously this is an award and I can't find it type out as...

    I know this was directed at Jessica, but having successfully secured a paralegal role I thought I might offer advice. I used size 12 font and 1.5 spacing. I could have probably dropped to size 11 but my year 7 ICT teacher’s angry face came to mind whenever I make it smaller than size 12. As for...

    Everyone's saying it's over for me & I haven't even began my journey

    When I say creating organic and meaningful relationships that doesn’t have to come out of legal internships. I’m not the best person to ask in terms of getting internship opportunities because I’m a law graduate who is working so I’m not the most clued up. That being said, as a candidate go look...
