Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
I'd personally go with a mix of both personal and career but maybe focus slightly more on the work ones or the personal ones that have a connection to the career. The distance running is fine to include I just wouldn't have it as the most important/main point.I was wondering if anyone has an tips on tackling this question:
What personal or career goals do you have for yourself at present? (200 words max)
I'm not sure how personal these should be e.g. I am trying to improve my running distance currently but I'm not sure if this is the kind of thing to include. Should the personal goals be things that would make me a better candidate/make me more desirable for the firm?
Thanks Jessica, thats really usefulI'd personally go with a mix of both personal and career but maybe focus slightly more on the work ones or the personal ones that have a connection to the career. The distance running is fine to include I just wouldn't have it as the most important/main point.
Having goals outside of work (and completely unrelated to work) make you a more desirable candidate as it shows you aren't going to be consumed by work.
That is fantastic!Hi all!
This feels completely unbelievable to say. But I was offered a training contract last week to start in 2022! 🎊
I genuinely have felt like I wasn't good enough for so long. After having a few hard years mentally and getting some horrible grades at university, I thought I wasn't capable of this.
I just want to say a huge thanks to this forum. You have all been so amazing (especially @Jessica Booker and @Alice G). Thank you for lifting me up when I was down and didn't believe in myself.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
YOU ARE SO AMAZING AND I HOPE THIS FINALLY MAKES YOU REALISE IT. I AM SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!Hi all!

Hi! Ive been preparing for an AC for another firm and I haven't had a chance to complete mine yet - I can probably do so in about two days. In your opinion do you think it would still be worth it?Please submit it this week if you want a good chance at being invited to the voice interview! I attended the AG masterclass with Aspiring Solicitors and they said latest submission should be this week.
I don't think they've started to send out invites so it's worth the shot especially if you've already started your application! Best of luck with itHi!
