Abbreviating a firms name
I didn't apply to to Charles Russell Speechlys but for my applications I wrote out the firm's name in full the first time I used it in the written answers (usually in the first question), with the abbreviated version in brackets - and then used the abbreviation any other time in my application...- Selina

Volunteer/ Work Experience & Cover Letters
For my applications, I typically wrote 100-150 words for each work experience about my main responsibilities and any memorable tasks undertaken in that role (if it was a short work experience). I also mentioned how I obtained the role if it didn't ask already! I didn't usually use the STAR...- Selina

I haven't either! I submitted my deadline a fair few days before the deadline as well but not a peep - no VI invitation either. I think someone here mentioned that we should hear back from them sometime before the end of February though. :)- Selina

Summer Training Contract Deadlines
Thanks so much @Salma - this is so useful! Would it be possible to put in bold those firms which do not recruit the majority of their trainees from their vac schemes? Please don't do this all by yourself! Maybe we can pool our knowledge and edit as we go along - like with the Rolling Basis /...- Selina

I interviewed with them last week (quite a tight turnaround, only received an email about it exactly a week before) and someone I know had theirs on Thursday so I would assume it's ongoing! Haven't heard back from them yet since though.- Selina

Diversity within the legal profession
An interesting read - thanks for the link! Makes me question the integrity of other firms' claims of a 'genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion'... even if they hire diversely (?) at graduate level, the story might be very different as you move up the career ladder.- Selina
