WG tests - I used all the free tests (literally google...

    If Travers Smith has a 1000 word limit for its cover letter, can it be over a page long, or is it best to write less to fit the standard one side of A4 for a cover letter?

    unfortunately not - seeing it as redirection and the feedback report was useful at least. Best of luck to anyone else with their AC's!

    Roughly how long have people waited post-AC for a phone call offer? I heard it can sometimes be the same day, just wondering if there's any chance of me getting an offer 4 days after the interview...

    Thank you, this was really useful. Do you think writing about burnout/taking up too many responsibilities and how I overcame that stress is dangerous to mention, given the demanding nature of working in commercial law?

    Hey everyone - please can somebody give an example of how they would answer a question asking about a recent setback you have had & how you overcame it? I've never come across this before and am struggling to decide what to discuss! Thank you :)
