Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
thank you so much @baj5 for sharing your journey. It is indeed a long one but I am sure that you will be able to find your fit and become the best lawyer out there! And congratulations on your LLM in the US, this is huge and not many people can say the same so you are definitely an interesting candidate! Good luck with your journey!It is completely normal to feel that way. I do all the time. I’ve done the firm internships, even mini pupillages, graduated with a high 2.1, went to a top 14 us school for my LLM and got a merit scholarship and I am getting nowhere, constantly wondering whether the past 7 years of my life were an utter waste. They weren’t, and neither were yours, but it’s hard to see that when you’re in the thick of it. Stay strong x
As Jessica confirmed, I am not sure whether there are minimum grades. You just have to do your best and send your grades in, and if you have extenuating circumstances that may explain a lower grade then I would encourage you to explain that, but there are no minimum grades as far as I am aware. Of course, some firms do put a lot of value on academic excellence so it is important to be aware of that when applying. Good luck with the cycle @e1996What are the minimum grades for the GDL that top law firms require?
congratulations!! This is a huge achievement! Best of luck! @pfotherecordI received an interview invite last week (Wednesday), and have the interview this Friday. For a little more context, I applied on 8/10.
I would say to stick to the bullet point formal and definitely describe your tasks/responsibilities but also the skills you gained, I would not talk about how they will benefit you as a trainee there. Be sure to also quantify your results when describing your tasks as that will show your value as a trainee without necessarily stating it.When writing your descriptions for work experience on a CV, should you simply state what you did/responsibility you held or should you also discuss the skills you gained and how it will benefit you as a trainee?
Also bullet points or no bullet points?
Thanks
when did u complete the arctic shores??just got a TI invitation from nrf, any tips on that? i have heard people saying they only ask competency questions? fyi i applied on 12/10
I can totally understand this as I was in your same shoes last year but what I would say is keep persevering but also take breaks and allow yourself to do something else and engage with content that is not law-related, that will help you massively. Other tips are:Feeling really drained out this application season alongside final year of University
