Hey all,

This is one of CMS's application questions: 'Focusing on one of CMS’s sectors, what opportunities have arisen in the ‘new ways of working’ and current business climate?'

Is there a dedicated list of the firm's sectors? I can't seem to find a concrete list.

I found this - https://cms.law/en/cze/cms-job-opportunities/working-for-cms/experienced-lawyers/sector-groups - but it is for the Czech Republic office.

I've also found this - 'The firm is recognised for its sector excellence and focus in consumer products; energy; financial institutions; hotels & leisure; infrastructure & projects; life sciences & healthcare; real estate; and technology, media & telecommunications.' - but this from Chamber Student Guide, and I'm looking for something directly from their website.
I think if you go to their website you will find sector focuses listed together with their practice areas under 'expertise'.

    Hey it’s a CV (one page) and a cover letter (also one page) and then you complete an interview with a partner, also a written exercise. Let me know if you need further assistance, as I recently secured an offer with them. Happy to help :)
    Thank you so much! and congrats <3 is it for the current cycle or previous ?

    Hi there. Sorry to ‘interrupt’ haha, but can you help me with CV cutting? I’m finding it incredibly difficult to cut down my already as-concise-as-possible 2 page CV down to 1.

    What do you recommend keeping as essential and what do you think can be cut? I’m weary of losing extra curricular s in case they think I have no hobbies etc, but don’t think I can cut work experiences out!!

    Did anyone get confirmation of completing the Watson Glaser for NRF? I’ve just completed it and it said close the page, but haven’t got an email to confirm and the link still takes me to the registration page?

    Wish I'd seen this sooner, I *just* submitted and my CV is about a page and a half. Ah well, fingers crossed. What was the interview like?
