Yeah just got the email now!Initial application. They sent an email out to everyone. Tests to follow from then.
They said at the open day they will reject people for things like 1 spelling mistake so the feedback can be misleading etc.
Thank you for this, so I assume it’s generic?They said at the open day they will reject people for things like 1 spelling mistake so the feedback can be misleading etc.
Had my Eversheds AC today... partner interview was beyond shocking. Am okay with it because it was my first AC but any advice for how to forget your shocking answers would be appreciated lol
Yeah there isn't!! My answers range from 200-450 words each, its quite nice having the freedom to write as much as we want!@OB I’m looking at the Freeths application and is it just me or is there no word limit for the work experience or questions??
They often ignore emails so you can do but don't expect a responseCould anybody suggest if it may be alright to email GR asking for an update on an application?
For reference, I'm waiting to hear back from Stephenson Harwood post-app and it's been nearly a month since their deadline has passed.
Many thanks in advance
I had a friend who was rejected and did not receive an SST invite so there must have been some form of shortlisting.Also does anybody know if Kennedys gave the SJT to all applicants or only shortlisted ones?
What is your degree in? the fact that you've had this much experience in hospitality and retail is great! you can even take these experiences to show how you're interested in commercial law. E.g. you can say you received exciting opportunities to observe practical functions of commerce during your time in retail and the day-to-day factors that affect business management, how this made you accustomed to thinking commercially and how you're interested in providing legal solutions by considering the commercial landscape a client operates in. Not sure if this shows 'commitment' to law per se but, in my opinion, could show why you're interested in commercial lawOn another note.. how do people demonstrate their commitment to commercial law without any legal experience? I have a lot of experience in hospitality, retail, admin at city firms, but I have no legal experience- not even any posts in the law society or anything. I think this is what is letting my application down. I know why I want to do law but I find it unconvincing because I don’t have evidence to say ‘I would like it because I’ve experienced it and I enjoyed this aspect of it’. Even though I try to relate it a lot to transferable skills, I still think my application is lacking. Unfortunately though getting legal experience is truly hard
