@axelbeugre @Jessica Booker I am filling out an application and one of the questions is “Tell us why you are interested in this position”. There is no word count on the question. I am not sure how to approach this. Do I talk about my interest in commercial law and how it started? What are some things I should cover to properly answer the question? I feel it is really open-ended. This is for direct tc by the way.

What other questions or sections are you asked to provide on the full application form?
They just seem to be personal details questions. The only other short answer question is “why are you interested in our firm?”
Russell-Cooke TC PFO this morning :/
Kennedys VI!!

Anything from CRS post-VI/ does anyone have an idea of when we can expect to hear?
Same. Don't know where we are going wrong
Hi just looking for a little bit of advice on something !
I have received a verbal TC Offer from a firm I love, and as its unique circumstances (applied for VS but post AC was offered TC) this was then followed with a Zoom call discussing details. On this call, grad rec confirmed they were busy and it would take a while to get a full contract, but would follow the call with a written offer for my peace of mind in the next few days. The call was Thurs 22nd and last Friday I emailed to query when I would be receiving the written offer as I hadn’t had any communications. It is now Monday and I haven’t received a reply.
Should I give them more time or follow up/ is it likely they have changed their minds ? I am a bit nervous with no written offer and unsure whether to withdraw from other processes with no written offer.
Thank you in advance ! @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre / anyone who has any advice to offer !

I found it quite hard as well - did your interviewers say when we might hear back? Mine said there wasn't a set timeline
