Directly from Kirsten Davies (Recruitment Manager at S&C): "Candidates should write a punchy letter of motivation, no more than one side of A4"Is there any guidance on how long a cover letter for Sullivan & Cromwell be?
My application got put on hold (apparently that's a good thing); my cover letter was 398 words with everything included!Is there any guidance on how long a cover letter for Sullivan & Cromwell be?
Two days following interviewHow long did it take for people to hear back from Travers post-interview for the WVS?
I don’t think you have to cover all of the areas - some people will want to invest more of the word count into specific aspects of the subs categories - so I don’t think it is an issue if you miss some, especially where you might not have any evidence (eg scholarships/prizes etc).Hi guys,
On the part of the Gibson Dunn application where students are asked to write a cover letter (with a maximum length of 650 words), the page contains the following message:
Please write a cover letter. You should include some of the following areas: what attracts you to Gibson Dunn; why you want to become a solicitor; an outstanding personal achievement which added value to either your academic or working environment; details of any prizes, scholarships, interests, positions of responsibility and any other noteworthy achievements that will support your application.
Reasoning from first principles, do you think it'd probably be alright (or even preferable, as the case may be) for me to try to cover all of the areas mentioned within the question (especially bearing in mind that the word limit's quite high!)?
@Jessica Booker
Thanks! What I meant to say was that if "prizes, scholarships, interests, positions of responsibility and any other noteworthy achievements" was taken as one big area, then do you think it's likely that it would be wise to cover at least something from this area (e.g. mention a scholarship, or perhaps mention a position of responsibility), along with mentioning something from the other three areas (i.e. 1. why Gibson Dunn; 2. why solicitor; 3. outstanding personal achievement)?I don’t think you have to cover all of the areas - some people will want to invest more of the word count into specific aspects of the subs categories - so I don’t think it is an issue if you miss some, especially where you might not have any evidence (eg scholarships/prizes etc).
