Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Thank you! For the last part, I only asked because some insight I got some time ago from people at the firm is that such things are not viewed too well, so I was thinking of not mentioning anything like this in my extenuating circumstances so as to not put myself at a disadvantage.- Lily721

Hi @Jessica Booker Just a quick question. I have my vacation scheme application finished for Mayer Brown and ready to submit today or at the very latest tomorrow.

When I was doing my A-levels, AS levels were in the process of being phased out and not really important anymore as they no longer counted towards my final A-level grades.

Spelling mistake in application... help
Anyone know if White & Case are strict about this? Is it like Shearman & Sterling when it comes to this? I just noticed I made a very silly mistake at the start of my last paragraph in my cover letter and it is literally so easy to spot. I said "Finally, as I committee member..." so now I am...- Lily721
