Hey everyone!
I know this month the focus turns to those direct training contract applications.
Many people I speak to find it challenging to communicate their motivations in a law firm application, something that isn’t just an ‘interest in law and business’. It took me a long time to work out how to present my 'story’ and align my interest in commercial law to my experiences.
During her application journey, Genevieve’s written applications were accepted by a plethora of competitive city firms including Linklaters, Slaughter and May, Herbert Smith Freehills, White & Case and Baker McKenzie.
Overall, 75% of her written applications for vacation schemes and training contracts were successful. As an application reviewer, she has reviewed over 100 applications for a variety of City firms. I've seen many of these reviews myself and they are exceptional.
