Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
Thank you everyone! Sent application on 25th Nov and completed SJT 27th Nov. Does anyone know the ratio of interview : offer for direct TC/vac scheme? Also if anyone has any tips apart from the ones that are already on TCLA, I would be super grateful!
Ah okay I wasn't sureFrom my memory, I don't think we are allowed to apply twice in one cycle unfortunately... I emailed them about it in August I think... could be wrong though
About to send my app for Freshfields off - feeling a bit sick and read over it 300 times but sure there will be a spelling mistake somewhere.
I am also worried I haven't included what they are looking for and keep reading over it again and again. Worried I haven't shown I am good at critical analysis etc cause I talk too much about other things98-99% of trainees had some form of error on their application when I was there.

I know, they said that in my workshop too but I just hope they actually like me again! Gonna send it off!I’m sure it’ll be fine!!! Jessica will probably give much more reassurance than I can, but at the Graduate Workshop earlier this month they really stressed there isn’t a conventional way to approach the PS, and that they aren’t looking for you to tick the box of every skill!

you wouldn’t have to demonstrate that in an application
Stupid question but the application asks "Have you previously applied for a role at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer? If so please give details of the role/s you applied for." Would the non-law work include this? Or does it not as it was not a 'role'?
Thank you! Have done.If you have applied to Freshfields in any capacity (open day, vacation scheme, business services role, paralegal), declare it.
hey jess, if I had been on a FF vac scheme AC before in the prev cycle, am I still able to apply for a direct TC this year? will that be held against me since I have to declare it?If you have applied to Freshfields in any capacity (open day, vacation scheme, business services role, paralegal), declare it.

thanks jess! should I explicitly state that I was rejected post-interview? or is it enough to just write that i had previously applied for a summer vac? thanks so much!I don’t know the firm’s current policy on this but I suspect it is a yes. And no, it won’t be held against you, you’ll just need to show development in your application since you last applied
